request.end(body) on a request whose head was not sent yet wrote the
head and then the body. On a socket that was already connected (a
reused keep-alive connection), each write is sent at once, so the two
went out as separate segments, and the server could handle the head and
answer before the body arrived. Node sends the head together with the
body. When the client and the server run in one program, the server's
'end' and 'close' for the request and the client's reading of the
response then depended on which socket the poller reported first: corpus
5409-http-held-request-body printed the client's line before the
request's 'end' and 'close' in a macOS dev build.
The head and a body known at end() now go out as one write, as Node
sends them (the server's response already did).
A checked-dynamic method call looked its name up in the method table on
every call: a strlen, a hash and a byte comparison of the name.
The compiler now gives each method-name constant an i32 slot that starts
at -1 and passes it with the call (scr_dyn_invoke_prepared_id, and the
Buffer method entries, which forward it). The first call stores the
name's id in the slot, and later calls read it. Ids stay the runtime's
own, so the slot holds whatever this runtime's table says. Names are
still matched by content on the first call, and the slot is written with
a relaxed atomic store, since every thread writes the same id.
The runtime ABI is now 28.
The cycle collector widens the growth fraction that schedules full passes
up to 16 times the heap left by the last pass while passes find little.
Lowering a large program leaves hundreds of megabytes of cyclic garbage,
and whether a scheduled pass reclaims it before the build's peak depends
on where the growth rule fires: small changes to the compiler moved the
peak of a tsc-ts build between 1.66 and 2.05 GB.
The native compiler now sets the growth cap to 2 at startup, as
SCR_CYCLE_GROWTH_CAP=2 does, so a full pass runs once the heap has grown
to three times its size after the last one. scr_cyc_set_growth_cap sets
the cap for a program from its own code; the environment variable still
takes precedence, and child processes are not affected.
Release builds no longer import runtime bitcode, so program code called scr_map_retain_v for every Map read out of a container and scr_map_size for every size read. A Map retain now uses the emitted increment helper, as string retains do, and Map.size reads the live count through an internal helper.
`new Set(x)`, `new Map(x)`, `new WeakSet(x)`, `new WeakMap(x)` and
`Object.fromEntries(x)` now accept any checked-dynamic iterable, as in
Node: a native iterator (`map.keys()`, `set.values()`), a compiled
generator, an object with a Symbol.iterator method, or a Set. Before, a
Set seed that was not an array or a string threw "is not iterable", and a
Map, weak collection or Object.fromEntries seed that was a generator or a
collection other than a Map refused with SC2020.
The runtime drains native iterators, packs arrays, strings and
collections, and steps every other iterable through its iterator
(scr_dyn_seed_values). A program that builds these from an untyped seed
registers the compiled generators' next and return methods with the
runtime, as destructuring rest already did, so a generator seed can be
stepped.
The seed's values are all taken before the first one is added, so when an
entry of a Map seed is not an object the TypeError comes after the
iterable is exhausted; Node closes the iterator at that entry. The
limitations page says so.
A method call on a value of unknown type (untyped JavaScript, `any`)
picked its builtin by comparing the method name with strcmp against each
candidate, in long ladders per receiver kind: a string method could test
dozens of names before it matched.
- The name is now looked up once per call in a generated hash table
(scr_dyn_methods.h, from scripts/gen-dyn-methods.mjs), and each ladder
compares the resulting id. The table verifies the name's bytes, so a
name is matched by its content, as before.
- The worker event methods compare the first character before strcmp.
- bench/dynamic-methods calls string, array, Map, Set, number and own
methods from untyped JavaScript.
The PATH lookup for spawns with an `env` option picked the first
executable regular file and stopped there, so a script whose interpreter
is missing ended the search with ENOENT. Node's libuv runs execvp in the
child, which moves on to the next PATH entry when an exec fails with
ENOENT, ENOTDIR or EACCES. Each candidate now runs through posix_spawn in
order with the same rule, and relative entries are resolved by the child
in its cwd.
A typed record encoded from its field hooks queued a plain-object field on
the visit stack and went on to the next field, so getters on later fields
ran before the properties of earlier ones were read. Node's serializer
finishes each field, nested properties included, before the next.
The record path now drains the visit stack down to where it started after
each field, so properties are read in Node's order. Corpus 7139 posts a
record whose fields hold getter-bearing objects and prints the read order.
spawn and execFileSync with an `env` option searched the parent's PATH
for a command without a '/'. They now resolve it the way spawnSync does,
as Node (libuv) does: on the replacement environment's PATH, or the
default path when it has none, with relative entries read from the cwd
option's directory.
- An arrow function or method on the right of an untyped `instanceof`
has no prototype. Node throws "Function has non-object prototype
'undefined' in instanceof check" for any object, but the runtime threw
only for plain objects, arrays and functions, and answered false for
typed arrays, native handles, promises and typed references. It now
answers false only for primitives.
- Coverage lowers the body of a signature-blocked function for its
diagnostics. A declared `this` parameter now gives that body its
receiver, as lowerFunction does, so `this.label` reports nothing.
Before, each use reported SC1080.
test_dh.c includes scr_dh.c and still called sd_generate_safe_prime
without its new top_two argument, so dh.test.ts failed to compile. It
now passes false, as the DiffieHellman paths do, and a new case checks
generatePrime's search: the sizes and add forms with one possible
result, top-two-bit safe-prime starts, and checks above OpenSSL's round
count.
With an `env` option, spawnSync searched the parent's PATH for a command
without a '/'. Node (libuv) searches the PATH of the child's environment,
or the default path when that environment has none, so a command only on
the child's PATH ran as ENOENT and one only on the parent's PATH ran
where Node reports ENOENT. The lookup now follows libuv: each PATH entry
in order, an empty entry as the current directory, and EACCES when a
candidate exists but cannot run.
- Once a 'message' listener without a typed entry has decoded the
message, the listeners after it read that decoded value, so a typed
listener sees what an earlier untyped listener changed, as in Node.
- A union with a literal discriminator gets no typed message entry: its
checked conversion also tests the discriminator, which the message
readers do not.
Corpus 7361 checks a typed listener after an untyped one that changes
the message, and a listener on a discriminated union.
`spawnSync(cmd, args, { env })` replaces the child's environment with
the given record, as spawn and execFileSync already do, alone or with
the timeout, killSignal and stdio options. The fallback typings declare
the option.
postMessage of a typed record boxes it as a live record capsule, and the
message encoder materialized the capsule's checked-dynamic view to read
it: it built the view object, listed its own keys, tested each one for
enumerability and read it back, then released the view and the key list.
On an object-only run of bench/channel-messages that was about half of
the encode time.
- A live record capsule whose view was never created (no undeclared
properties, no writes through an untyped view) now encodes from the
record's field hooks (ScrDynTypedRecordOps), which answer exactly the
view's keys, order and boxed values. Nested records encode the same way
to a depth of 32, then through their views as before. Capsules with a
view, published values, and every other value encode as before.
- The mail event that carries a message lives in the message's block, so
a queued message is one allocation instead of two.
Corpus 7139 and 7360 post typed records on a MessageChannel and between a
worker and the main thread: optional fields, nested records, a record
reached twice, a chain deeper than the recursion limit, a parsed record
with undeclared keys, and a function-valued field.
Where unix-dgram is installed beside hot-shots, the shim's entry sends
through runtime AF_UNIX datagram calls with the addon's semantics; without
it, uds reports the addon missing as hot-shots does.

A 'message' listener with a typed parameter received each message as a
checked-dynamic value: the port decoded the message into dyn objects, the
listener's thunk matched the value against each union arm, read every
field again to build the record, and the dyn objects were then released.
For bench/channel-messages that was about a third of the delivery time.
- A closure registered with on, once, addListener, prependListener or
prependOnceListener for 'message' gets a typed message entry when its
parameter is a number, boolean, string, a record of those without union
fields, or a boxed union of those arms with null or undefined. The
entry builds the parameter from the message's nodes and calls the
closure.
- The entry handles a message only when it has the parameter's exact
layout: the union arm the checked conversion picks, and a record's
declared keys in declaration order with no others. Any other message
runs through the thunk on the decoded value, as before, so undeclared
keys, other orders and mismatches behave as they did.
- Ports, workers and parentPort deliver a message through the entries
when no value in it is reached twice and it holds no ports or native
handles. Listeners without an entry share one decoded value, made when
the first of them runs.
- The message readers are runtime entry points, so the runtime ABI is now
27.
Corpus 7130 and 7131 check typed listeners on MessageChannel ports, a
worker and parentPort against Node: exact layouts, extra keys, shared
values, nested records, untyped listeners beside typed ones, once
listeners and a transferred port.
Keys, primes and generators drop their leading zero bytes before import,
as BN_bin2bn does, and a value still past mbedTLS's 80000-byte limit
throws Node's error or a coded SC2020 error instead of aborting the
process: computeSecret rejects a key longer than the prime as too large,
a long generator is a bad generator, and setPublicKey/setPrivateKey
refuse with SC2020.
Under the RFC 5114 groups, computeSecret rejects a peer key with
key^q mod p != 1 with ERR_CRYPTO_INVALID_KEYTYPE, as OpenSSL's public
key check does, closing small-subgroup confinement of the private key.
The safe-prime groups keep the range check only, as in Node.
Exponents past 8192 bits are split into digits bit by bit, so
generateKeys with a long private key takes linear time.
When an event-loop callback calls an async function or steps a generator
that enters a store before its first await, the store becomes the
callback's at the end of the prefix. On the main slot it now ends with
that callback, as an enterWith there does: the copy schedules the tick
that clears the main slot, so the store does not reach later callbacks.
new tls.TLSSocket(socket, { isServer: true, secureContext, requestCert:
true }) skipped the options walk that refuses requestCert, so the server
asked for no client certificate and accepted every client, even with
rejectUnauthorized: true. With a secureContext, Node still reads the
socket's own options, so a truthy requestCert, SNICallback and
ALPNCallback now throw the fence there too.
A TLS socket's transport kept its 'secure' and 'session' listeners until
the socket was freed. A handshake that fails never fires 'secure', so a
listener that captures the socket kept the socket and its TLS state alive
after it closed. The transport now drops those listeners when the socket
settles, and ignores listeners added after that.
