src: add context-aware helpers and init macro by gabrielschulhof · Pull Request #21318 · nodejs/node

gabrielschulhof · 2018-06-13T18:09:41Z

Introduces macro NODE_MODULE_INIT() which creates the boilerplate for
a context-aware module which can be loaded multiple times via the
special symbol mechanism.

Also introduces class node::WeakData with which one can weakly
associate a native class instance with a JavaScript object, and
convenience methods node::SetMethodWithData() and
node::SetPrototypeMethodWithData() which pass a native pointer
through to bindings.

Together, these APIs allow one to avoid using global static data in
an addon.

src/node.h

I wouldn’t be a fan of including this in our public API, unless there’s a reason why we would export it from core

We originally had more core of this sort around (e.g. node_object_wrap.h), but it’s a good idea that this generally moved into Nan territory? I’d suggest PR’ing it there

node-gyp -> `node-gyp` for consistency with other mentions?

Missing final backtick and period?

Should the first letter case be unified in this list?

gabrielschulhof · 2018-06-20T22:31:40Z

@addaleax @bnoordhuis I have reduced the scope of the PR to the NODE_MODULE_INIT() macro, documentation pertaining to context-aware modules, and an example illustrating its use in a situation where data is stored per addon instance.

gabrielschulhof · 2018-06-20T22:32:07Z

@vsemozhetbyt I have fixed the issues you mention.

vsemozhetbyt · 2018-06-20T22:37:19Z

devsnek · 2018-06-26T22:30:47Z

this needs another approval to land

gabrielschulhof · 2018-06-26T22:41:35Z

@devsnek aaah, thank you! Wasn't sure.

vsemozhetbyt · 2018-06-27T05:13:37Z

It seems our docs state only one approving is needed to land a not fast-track PR.

gabrielschulhof · 2018-06-27T13:40:27Z

@vsemozhetbyt actually, it says it must be two if a Collaborator is the originator of the PR. I checked after @devsnek's reminder: https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/COLLABORATOR_GUIDE.md#code-reviews

vsemozhetbyt · 2018-06-27T14:26:58Z

Do you refer this sentence?

In the case of pull requests proposed by an existing Collaborator, an additional Collaborator is required for sign-off.

I read it as "One Collaborator is the PR author, another Collaborator is a reviewer".

gabrielschulhof · 2018-06-27T15:11:25Z

I don't read it that way, because I know that the PR's author may not approve. Therefore, since all PRs need at least one approver, and a Collaborator's PR needs and additional approver, I conclude that a Collaborator's PR needs to approvers. Still, it should maybe state explicitly that a Collaborator's PR needs the approver of two Collaborators.

Let's see how others understand this. It seems we have a bit confusing wording here.

Trott · 2018-06-28T17:22:09Z

This does not need a second reviewer, although I would try pinging a relevant team or two before landing, just to get a second one.

gabrielschulhof · 2018-06-28T17:25:01Z

@nodejs/collaborators in the spirit of #21565 (comment), could somebody else please have a look? 🙂

ryzokuken · 2018-06-28T17:27:54Z

Aww, the dreaded mention.

P.S. I'll take a look :)

mcollina

LGTM

mcollina · 2018-06-28T17:56:53Z

doc/api/addons.md

Can you please articulate what could be those cases?

@mcollina how about the new paragraph I added?

That’s perfect!

ryzokuken

LGTM, but if I were you, I'd wait for @addaleax's review.

Introduces macro `NODE_MODULE_INIT()` which creates the boilerplate for a context-aware module which can be loaded multiple times via the special symbol mechanism. Additionally, provides an example of using the new macro to construct an addon which stores per-addon-instance data in a heap-allocated structure that gets passed to each binding, rather than in a collection of global static variables. Re: nodejs#21291 (comment)

gabrielschulhof · 2018-07-01T01:53:09Z

Rebased and added doc for NODE_MODULE_INITIALIZER.

Landed in 602da64.

Introduces macros `NODE_MODULE_INITIALIZER` which expands to the name of the special symbol that process.dlopen() will look for to initialize an addon, and `NODE_MODULE_INIT()` which creates the boilerplate for a context-aware module which can be loaded multiple times via the special symbol mechanism. Additionally, provides an example of using the new macro to construct an addon which stores per-addon-instance data in a heap-allocated structure that gets passed to each binding, rather than in a collection of global static variables.

Trott · 2018-07-03T22:53:13Z

CI was not green. I think we need stronger wording in our docs about not landing stuff when CI is not green. I'll open a PR for that right now.

If you have a mostly-green node-test-pull-request, you're fairly certain the not-green stuff isn't relevant to your changes, and you want to re-run just the things that aren't green, use "Resume Build" on the left menu. It will create a new node-test-pull-request, copy over all the green stuff, and only re-run the red/yellow/grey stuff.

~~Post-landing CI: https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-pull-request/15717/~~

EDIT: Can't re-run CI because the branch has been deleted. So in lieu of that, here's a node-daily-master run manually kicked off to re-test this: https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-daily-master/1203/

gabrielschulhof · 2018-07-03T23:00:05Z

@Trott sorry about that! One job failed on what looked like an infra issue (unable to create a directory). Using "Resume Build" is an awesome option! I didn't know about it.

Sorry, didn't mean to pick on you! No need to apologize. You're far from alone. I'm just trying to spread the word about Resume Build. :-D (I didn't know about it until someone else on Build showed it to me...I think it was @refack.)
