* In order to prevent ArrayBuffers from getting garbage collected by V8,
we used to store a v8::Persistent<ArrayBuffer> in a map. This patch
introduces a custom ArrayBuffer allocator which doesn't use Persistent
handles, but instead stores a pointer to the actual ArrayBuffer data
alongside with a reference count. Since creating Persistent handles
has quite a bit of overhead, this change significantly increases
performance. Various HTTP server benchmarks report about 5-10% more
requests per second than before.
* Previously the Persistent handle that prevented garbage collection had
to be released manually, and this wasn't always done, which was
causing memory leaks. This has been resolved by introducing a new
`PinnedBuf` type in both Rust and C++ that automatically re-enables
garbage collection when it goes out of scope.
* Zero-copy buffers are now correctly wrapped in an Option if there is a
possibility that they're not present. This clears up a correctness
issue where we were creating zero-length slices from a null pointer,
which is against the rules.
This disables a few tests which are broken still:
- tests/error_004_missing_module.test
- tests/error_005_missing_dynamic_import.test
- tests/error_006_import_ext_failure.test
- repl_test test_set_timeout
- repl_test test_async_op
- repl_test test_set_timeout_interlaced
- all of permission_prompt_test
We always pass around Box<[u8]>, and adding this generic is an
unnecessary complication.
Add deno_core_http_bench_test to test.py
sharedQueue works on deno_core_http_bench
