Improve performance by providing JS with the raw ingredients
for the read data, i.e. an ArrayBuffer + offset + length
fields, instead of creating Buffer instances in C++ land.

Checklist
  • make -j4 test (UNIX), or vcbuild test (Windows) passes
  • tests and/or benchmarks are included
  • commit message follows commit guidelines

Are there benchmark results available?

Environment* env = env_;

#ifdef DEBUG
CHECK_EQ(static_cast<int32_t>(nread), nread);
CHECK_EQ(static_cast<int32_t>(offset), offset);

Maybe also assert that offset is 0 and nread is less than 0 if ab is empty?

IIUC this will also allow us to remove
// TODO(bnoordhuis) Check that nread > 0.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/23797/files#diff-f45eb699237c2e38dc9b49b588933c11R497.
in channel.onread

Edit: that is if we add a reverse check of ab non-empty -> nread > 0

I’m not sure we can guarantee nread > 0, but nread >= 0 should make sense.

It looks like benchmark/net/tcp-raw-c2s.js needs to be fixed.

Done!

With more iterations this time: https://ci.nodejs.org/view/Node.js%20benchmark/job/benchmark-node-micro-benchmarks/250/ (edit: aborted, took too long. sorry… the other benchmarks results are pretty good, though.)

Benchmark CI: https://ci.nodejs.org/view/Node.js%20benchmark/job/benchmark-node-micro-benchmarks/251/console

It looks like benchmark/net/tcp-raw-pipe.js needs to be updated (further):

buffer.js:208
    throw new ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE('value', 'not number', value);
    ^

TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "value" argument must not be of type number. Received type number
    at Function.from (buffer.js:208:11)
    at TCP.clientHandle.onread (/home/iojs/build/workspace/benchmark-node-micro-benchmarks/benchmarking/experimental/benchmarks/community-benchmark/node/benchmark/net/tcp-raw-pipe.js:54:55)

@mscdex That’s happening because the modified benchmark and the previous version of it are incompatible, because they expect different function signatures… I’m going to open a PR to remove those raw benchmarks right after landing this anyway.

Hello!
We have a change that fails in SPDY since Node v11.1.0 (spdy-http2/node-spdy#350 (comment))

Could you tell us what the actual is changing? Is it only the signature of those files and nothing else?

Should this be backported to v8.x-staging or v10.x-staging? If yes please follow the guide and raise a backport PR, if not let me know or add the dont-land-on label.
