This is outstanding. Thank you! 👍 🌟 Is it possible that we could rename |
|
@am11 yes, you can rename it to anything you like now. |
|
it's a bit beyond me, so windozy, but lgtm none the less can someone verify a few addons on windows with this? I don't have time to fiddle right now unfortunately |

Here's the ones I tested myself: |

@rvagg Made it a teensy bit less windozy, but unfortunately this is as good as it gets... |
On Windows, when node or io.js attempts to dynamically load a compiled addon, the compiled addon tries to load node.exe or iojs.exe again - depending on which import library the module used when it was linked. This makes it impossible to rename node.exe or iojs.exe, because when that happens the module can't find its dependencies. With this patch, a delay-load hook is added to all modules that are compiled with node-gyp. The delay-load hook ensures that whenever a module tries to load imports from node.exe/iojs.exe, it'll just refer back to the process image, thus making it possible to rename the iojs/node binary.

The delay-load hook that was landed in 3d46fef to make compiled addons
work on Windows regardless of the iojs.exe/node.exe filename causes
issues with a small amount of compiled addons.
Therefore this patch makes it an opt-in feature. An addon may set the
'win_delay_load_hook' option to 'true' in its binding.gyp to enable this
feature.
Example:
```
{
'targets': [
{
'target_name': 'ernie',
'win_delay_load_hook': 'true',
...
```

depending on which import library the module used when it was linked.
This causes many compiled addons to break when node.exe or iojs.exe are
renamed, because when the binary has been renamed the addon DLL can't

Notable changes: * fs: corruption can be caused by fs.writeFileSync() and append-mode fs.writeFile() and fs.writeFileSync() under certain circumstances, reported in #1058, fixed in #1063 (Olov Lassus). * iojs: an "internal modules" API has been introduced to allow core code to share JavaScript modules internally only without having to expose them as a public API, this feature is for core-only #848 (Vladimir Kurchatkin). * timers: two minor problems with timers have been fixed: - Timer#close() is now properly idempotent #1288 (Petka Antonov). - setTimeout() will only run the callback once now after an unref() during the callback #1231 (Roman Reiss). * Windows: a "delay-load hook" has been added for compiled add-ons on Windows that should alleviate some of the problems that Windows users may be experiencing with add-ons in io.js #1251 (Bert Belder). * V8: minor bug-fix upgrade for V8 to 4.1.0.27. * npm: upgrade npm to 2.7.4.

On Windows, when node or io.js attempts to dynamically load a compiled
addon, the compiled addon tries to load node.exe or iojs.exe again -
depending on which import library the module used when it was linked.
This causes many compiled addons to break when node.exe or iojs.exe are
renamed, because when the binary has been renamed the addon DLL can't
find the (right) .exe file to load its imports from.
This patch gives compiled addon developers an option to overcome this
restriction by compiling a delay-load hook into their binary. The
delay-load hook ensures that whenever a module tries to load imports
from node.exe/iojs.exe, it'll just look at the process image, thereby
making the addon work regardless of what name the node/iojs binary has.
To enable this feature, the addon developer must set the
'win_delay_load_hook' option to 'true' in their binding.gyp file, like
this:
```
{
'targets': [
{
'target_name': 'ernie',
'win_delay_load_hook': 'true',
...
```

win,node-gyp: allow node.exe/iojs.exe to be renamed
On Windows, when node or io.js attempts to dynamically load a compiled
addon, the compiled addon tries to load node.exe or iojs.exe again -
depending on which import library the module used when it was linked.
This makes it impossible to rename node.exe or iojs.exe, because when
that happens the module can't find its dependencies.
With this patch, a delay-load hook is added to all modules that are
compiled with node-gyp. The delay-load hook ensures that whenever a
module tries to load imports from node.exe/iojs.exe, it'll just refer
back to the process image, thus making it possible to rename the
iojs/node binary.
