Make vm.runInContext() and vm.runInNewContext() stop copying the Proxy
object from the parent context into the new context when --harmony or
--harmony_proxies is in effect because it overwrites the new context's
native Proxy object.
This commit also adds a regression test for Harmony symbols. They work
okay in the current implementation and the test should ensure it stays
that way.
Try embedding the ` ... ^` lines inside the `SyntaxError` (or any other
native error) object before giving up and printing them to the stderr.
fix#6920fix#1310
Built-in modules should be automatically registered, replacing the
static module list. Add-on modules should also be automatically
registered via DSO constructors. This improves flexibility in adding
built-in modules and is also a prerequisite to pure-C addon modules.
BaseObject is a class that just handles the Persistent handle attached
to the class instance.
This also removed WeakObject. Reordering the inheritance chain helps
prevent unneeded calls on instances that don't call MakeCallback.
Create a HandleScope before calling the Environment::GetCurrent() that
takes a v8::Isolate* as an argument because it creates a handle with
the call to v8::Isolate::CurrentContext().
This addresses a current shortcoming of the V8 SetNamedPropertyHandler
function.
It does not provide a way to intercept Object.defineProperty(..) calls.
As a result, these properties are not copied onto the contextified
sandbox when a new global property is added via either a function
declaration or a Object.defineProperty(global, ...) call.
Note that any function declarations or Object.defineProperty() globals
that are created asynchronously (in a setTimeout, callback, etc.) will
happen AFTER the call to copy properties, and thus not be caught.
The way to properly fix this is to add some sort of a
Object::SetNamedDefinePropertyHandler() function that takes a callback,
which receives the property name and property descriptor as arguments.
Luckily, such situations are rare, and asynchronously-added globals
weren't supported by Node's VM module until 0.12 anyway. But, this
should be fixed properly in V8, and this copy function should be removed
once there is a better way.
Fix#6416
Drop the ObjectWrap dependency in favor of an internal WeakObject class.
Let's us stop worrying about API and ABI compatibility when making
changes to the way node.js deals with weakly persistent handles
internally.
Apparently, context->Global() won't be destroyed if the context itself
isn't marked as weak and independent.
Also, the weakness flag should be cleared once the weak callback is
executed, otherwise we'll get crashes in Debug builds.
fix#6115 and #6201
Functions created using: `vm.runInNewContext('(function() { })')` will
reference only `proxy_global_` object and not `sandbox_`. Thus in case,
where there're no references to sandbox (such as in example above),
`ContextifyContext` will be destroyed and use-after-free might happen.
Fix pointer unwrapping when T is a class with more than one base class.
Before this commit, the wrapped void* pointer was cast directly to T*
without going through ObjectWrap* first, possibly leading to a class
instance pointer that points to the wrong vtable.
This change required some cleanup in various files; some classes
used private rather than public inheritance, others didn't derive
from ObjectWrap at all...
Fixes#6188.
This commit makes it possible to use multiple V8 execution contexts
within a single event loop. Put another way, handle and request wrap
objects now "remember" the context they belong to and switch back to
that context when the time comes to call into JS land.
This could have been done in a quick and hacky way by calling
v8::Object::GetCreationContext() on the wrap object right before
making a callback but that leaves a fairly wide margin for bugs.
Instead, we make the context explicit through a new Environment class
that encapsulates everything (or almost everything) that belongs to
the context. Variables that used to be a static or a global are now
members of the aforementioned class. An additional benefit is that
this approach should make it relatively straightforward to add full
isolate support in due course.
There is no JavaScript API yet but that will be added in the near
future.

Passing a filename is still supported in place of certain options
arguments, for backward-compatibility, but timeout and display-errors
are not translated since those were undocumented.
Also managed to eliminate an extra stack trace line by not calling
through the `createScript` export.
Added a few message tests to show how `displayErrors` works.
Previously, calling `vm.createContext(o)` repeatedly on the same `o`
would cause new C++ `ContextifyContext`s to be created and stored on
`o`, while the previous resident went off into leaked-memory limbo.
Now, repeatedly trying to contextify a sandbox will do nothing after
the first time.
To detect this, an independently-useful `vm.isContext(sandbox)` export
was added.
This was a remnant of the original Contextify code, wherein
ContextifyContext was a user-exposed object. In vm, it is not, so all
of the ObjectWrap and function-template stuff for the ContextifyContext
constructor is now unnecessary.
This is an important part of the repl use-case.
TODO: The arg parsing in vm.runIn*Context() is rather wonky.
It would be good to move more of that into the Script class,
and/or an options object.
As documented in #3042 and in [1], the existing vm implementation has
many problems. All of these are solved by @brianmcd's [contextify][2]
package. This commit uses contextify as a conceptual base and its code
core to overhaul the vm module and fix its many edge cases and caveats.
Functionally, this fixes#3042. In particular:
- A context is now indistinguishable from the object it is based on
(the "sandbox"). A context is simply a sandbox that has been marked
by the vm module, via `vm.createContext`, with special internal
information that allows scripts to be run inside of it.
- Consequently, items added to the context from anywhere are
immediately visible to all code that can access that context, both
inside and outside the virtual machine.
This commit also smooths over the API very slightly:
- Parameter defaults are now uniformly triggered via `undefined`, per
ES6 semantics and previous discussion at [3].
- Several undocumented and problematic features have been removed, e.g.
the conflation of `vm.Script` with `vm` itself, and the fact that
`Script` instances also had all static `vm` methods. The API is now
exactly as documented (although arguably the existence of the
`vm.Script` export is not yet documented, just the `Script` class
itself).
In terms of implementation, this replaces node_script.cc with
node_contextify.cc, which is derived originally from [4] (see [5]) but
has since undergone extensive modifications and iterations to expose
the most useful C++ API and use the coding conventions and utilities of
Node core.
The bindings exposed by `process.binding('contextify')`
(node_contextify.cc) replace those formerly exposed by
`process.binding('evals')` (node_script.cc). They are:
- ContextifyScript(code, [filename]), with methods:
- runInThisContext()
- runInContext(sandbox, [timeout])
- makeContext(sandbox)
From this, the vm.js file builds the entire documented vm module API.
node.js and module.js were modified to use this new native binding, or
the vm module itself where possible. This introduces an extra line or
two into the stack traces of module compilation (and thus into most
stack traces), explaining the changed tests.
The tests were also updated slightly, with all vm-related simple tests
consolidated as test/simple/test-vm-* (some of them were formerly
test/simple/test-script-*). At the same time they switched from
`common.debug` to `console.error` and were updated to use
`assert.throws` instead of rolling their own error-testing methods.
New tests were also added, of course, demonstrating the new
capabilities and fixes.
