> Doing so makes it easier for future code to expose C++

Why were the changes to string_search.{cc,h} made in 53d6465? Shouldn't that have been a separate commit?

Likely, but I didn't make those changes so I cannot say for certain

No, but you can, if you'd like, review them for completeness :-) If you wouldn't mind.

How are we copyright-wise for this?

Assuming this counts as a derived work of the original code and since it shares the same license headers, I wouldn't expect this to be a problem in terms of copyright..? This is copying public code under MIT w/o changing the license.

P.S.: If Anna would prefer not pulling this in, we should respect that of course. But that's goes beyond copyright. :)

There should be absolutely zero copyright issue here at all.

Can we have a short post implementation eps? What's the motivation? What the key implementation principles?

I saw some Mutexes in the code. If the Ayo worker implementation is based on threads I'm -1 without discussing the alternatives, or much more field testing.

Introducing Mutexes and threads without any userland implementation, test coverage or correctness proof.

I know this is an "obscure" CR, but it's also an abstract change set.

It's just Mutex::ScopedLock on sync code. Nothing to worry about.

Also, this is just preliminary work. There's no implementation yet because it needs these bits to even be possible. Test coverage will be included with the implementation, when it's ready.

In that case I'm not sure what is the benefit?
If this is in preparation for pulling a big batch of thread work, then IMHO it should be reviewed in context.
If this solves bugs IMHO it should come with regression tests.

Qard commented Oct 2, 2017

If it actually got reviewed that'd be fine, but the previous workers PR was left for literally years without proper review.

It's a really big feature. Delivering it all in one neat package is a huge undertaking. It needs to happen in stages or it'll just never happen.

@addaleax I'm cool with the changes to async-wrap-inl.h.

@jasnell Some of this (e.g. the "dark template magic" or the implementation of Environment::CloseHandle()) should be discussed in more detail.

For reference, the worker PR itself is ayojs/ayo#58. These commits were picked out of that to separate PRs because it was difficult to review such a large block of code all at once.

AFAICT this is supposed to proxy the status of the libuv. If I'm correct IMHO it should be a libuv API.
libuv/libuv#1528 seems like a good start.

Diving in and starting to figure out some bits. It seems to me this PR as is, does benefit the use-case of embedding node into an MT process, but I'm deducing this from the code. IMHO it would help if it came with some explanations and motivation.

Oops, pressed enter too early. Anyway, maybe the commit messages for adding mutexesshould have provided motivation, but I think you can basically deduce from “add mutexes to previously single-threaded code” what you did deduce from it.

Also, yes, I’m fine copyright-wise.

And re: completeness … I see nothing missing here, but since the work in Ayo.js is not complete, it’s hard to make a statement on that.

I still think the single-process approach is a fundamentally bad idea for reasons of robustness and portability, see #13143 (comment) for background.

The multi-process approach on the other hand is something I could get behind.

Figured out the motivation

refack commented Oct 4, 2017

I can get behind this change if we #ifdef the Mutexes to be enabled for the embedding scenario, maybe even just for embedding-in-MT-host scenario.

I'll try to do that bit (while I'm not at #Interactive :( )

These changes generally LGTM and I ran the code (in Ayo) and it worked fine. I'm not sure I'm the right person to weigh in on the code but the code changes themselves lgtm

This is fairly standard C++, I'm not sure why it consists of magic but I like the explanation. I'm a little surprised this works on all Node's compile targets though.

I think it's worth commenting that err < 0 always implies that the callback won't be called, so we don't decrease/increase the waiting request counter.

This needs a rebase due to many conflicts and I think there was some further progress in ayo about this that should also be included in the update.
