lib/buffer.js currently has 100% code coverage in our test suite. If not too onerous, it would be nice to run the coverage report on this PR to make sure the refactoring doesn't introduce code paths that are now untested.

lib/buffer.js

I'd prefer using buf1 instead of a in the code as well.

TimothyGu · 2017-06-20T02:06:05Z

lib/internal/buffer.js

Would { FastBuffer: undefined } make it more self-documenting?

TimothyGu · 2017-06-20T02:06:30Z

lib/internal/errors.js

Alphabetical order.

jasnell · 2017-06-20T14:36:13Z

Forgot to mark this as in progress as I still need to add the documentation updates for the new error codes...

BridgeAR · 2017-06-20T21:00:43Z

lib/internal/errors.js

Maybe call the error type something more generic? There could be any variable that may not be negative or that may not be greater than x.

BridgeAR · 2017-06-20T21:03:26Z

lib/internal/errors.js

I am not sure if the error codes should be more generic or not but I think it would make sense if they are. In this case the ERR_INVALID_OPT_VALUE type could also be used as such.

IMHO including the encoding name is better.

BridgeAR · 2017-06-20T21:04:34Z

lib/internal/errors.js

See my comment below. This type is at least redundant to ERR_UNKNOWN_ENCODING but I would use ERR_INVALID_OPT_VALUE instead.

BridgeAR · 2017-06-20T21:07:41Z

lib/internal/errors.js

I'm not sure if these types would only fit for buffers and therefore I recommend to remove the BUFFER part from the name.

There's the whole over specialization of invalid options debate:

try { // do some stuff var f = fs.openSync('g.txt', 'rgh'); // do other stuff catch (e) { if (e.code == 'ERR_INVALID_OPT_VALUE') console.error(e) && process.exit(1) // because it's a programming error else ...; }

Maybe worth creating a new type? OptionError, or have all the codes include a substring?

BridgeAR · 2017-06-20T21:11:08Z

lib/internal/errors.js

This could be consolidated with ERR_ARG_OUT_OF_BOUNDS even though it's not as specific.

Overspecialization of error codes should be discussed

jasnell · 2017-06-26T16:35:53Z

Over-generalization of error codes will make those fairly useless and users will end up parsing the error messages again to find out what actually happened. There's little harm in having specific error codes.

Over-generalization of error codes will make those fairly useless and users will end up parsing the error messages again to find out what actually happened. There's little harm in having specific error codes.

I suggested two solutions: Either create an OptionError type, or use the a prefix ERR_INVALID_OPT_VALUE_XXX.
My main point is that these are predominantly programing errors and less often runtime errors.

Superseded by #13976

jasnell · 2017-07-17T15:14:37Z

This is not fully superseded. I will refactor. Please do not close.

* Move to more efficient module.exports pattern * Refactor requires * Eliminate circular dependency on internal/buffer * Add names to some functions * Fix circular dependency error in assert.js

jasnell · 2017-07-18T00:41:30Z

Updated. I was waiting for #13976 to land so I could drop the internal/errors commit and refactor this. It should be good to go now.

refack

Would like to see obfuscated whiles replaced with for...

refack · 2017-07-18T14:39:09Z

lib/buffer.js

-  var i = 0;
-  while (++i < byteLength && (mul *= 0x100))
-    val += this[offset + i] * mul;
+    var val = this[offset];


If we're churning let's get some butter: replace with for(...;...;...) to make it more readable. Performance should be on par

I'm going to leave these for now. We can hit those in a separate PR

refack · 2017-07-18T14:43:24Z

So I would like to see the obfuscated whiles replaced with for but that might be outside of this PR intended scope...

refack · 2017-07-18T14:46:52Z

Updated. I was waiting for #13976 to land so I could drop the internal/errors commit and refactor this. It should be good to go now.

@jasnell I'm assuming this is not in progress anymore? Also AFAICT it's semver-patch with the Error changes removed.

This doesn’t land cleanly on 8.x; if you can, please follow the guide and raise a backport PR, if you don’t think it’s worth it let me know and we’ll add the dont-land-on label.

jasnell · 2017-07-24T17:18:52Z

Unless it causes pain for backporting other things, this is not a priority to backport.
