Shelley Vohr 26bd28cbdb src: let embedders supply a builtin code cache without a snapshot
Environments created from the built-in snapshot get the builtins' code
cache from that snapshot. An embedder that bootstraps an Environment
from scratch (its own isolate and context, no EmbedderSnapshotData) has
no way to provide one: every builtin the bootstrap touches is compiled
from source in every such process, and each of them then serializes a
fresh cache (SaveCodeCache) that only a later worker thread would ever
consume.

Add node::EmbedderBuiltinCodeCache for that case. Its entries pair a
builtin id with a v8::ScriptCompiler::CachedData; Generate(context)
compiles every builtin in a context of the right kind of isolate and
returns them for a build step to embed, and
SetBuiltinCodeCache(isolate_data, cache) attaches them to an
IsolateData, next to where a snapshot's code cache lives, so that every
Environment created from it afterwards starts with them. The setter
runs CachedData::CompatibilityCheck() against the isolate first and
returns the result, leaving the IsolateData untouched for a cache made
with another V8 version, flag set or read-only snapshot. Entries from a
snapshot still merge with it (RefreshCodeCache() now merges instead of
assuming a single call). CreateEnvironment() plus LoadEnvironment() of
an empty script goes from about 38 ms to 13 ms with a cache attached.

ProcessInitializationFlags::kNoHarvestBuiltinCodeCache stops
serializing caches for builtins compiled without one, for embedders
that supply their own or never create workers. The default is
unchanged because worker threads copy the harvested cache.

A cctest generates a cache, attaches it, checks that a new
Environment's bootstrap compiles from it and that a corrupted cache is
refused; embedtest gains --no-harvest-builtin-code-cache for a test
that a worker does or does not find a harvested cache depending on the
flag.

Node.js Core Tests

This directory contains code and data used to test the Node.js implementation.

For a detailed guide on how to write tests in this directory, see the guide on writing tests.

On how to run tests in this directory, see the contributing guide.

For the tests to run on Windows, be sure to clone Node.js source code with the autocrlf git config flag set to true.

Test Directories

Directory Runs on CI Purpose
abort Yes Tests that use --abort-on-uncaught-exception and other cases where we want to avoid generating a core file.
addons Yes Tests for addon functionality along with some tests that require an addon.
async-hooks Yes Tests for async_hooks functionality.
benchmark Yes Test minimal functionality of benchmarks.
cctest Yes C++ tests that are run as part of the build process.
code-cache No Tests for a Node.js binary compiled with V8 code cache.
common N/A Common modules shared among many tests.1
doctool Yes Tests for the documentation generator.
es-module Yes Test ESM module loading.
fixtures N/A Test fixtures used in various tests throughout the test suite.
internet No Tests that make real outbound network connections.2
js-native-api Yes Tests for Node.js-agnostic Node-API functionality.
known_issues Yes Tests reproducing known issues within the system.3
message Yes Tests for messages that are output for various conditions
node-api Yes Tests for Node.js-specific Node-API functionality.
parallel Yes Various tests that are able to be run in parallel.
pseudo-tty Yes Tests that require stdin/stdout/stderr to be a TTY.
pummel No Various tests for various modules / system functionality operating under load.
sequential Yes Various tests that must not run in parallel.
testpy N/A Test configuration utility used by various test suites.
tick-processor No Tests for the V8 tick processor integration.4
v8-updates No Tests for V8 performance integration.

  2. Tests for networking related modules may also be present in other directories, but those tests do not make outbound connections. ↩︎

  3. All tests inside of this directory are expected to fail. If a test doesn't fail on certain platforms, those should be skipped via known_issues.status. ↩︎

  4. The tests are for the logic in lib/internal/main/prof_process.js and lib/internal/v8_prof_polyfill.js. The tests confirm that the profile processor packages the correct set of scripts from V8 and introduces the correct platform specific logic. ↩︎
