As discussed in #13732: this will change all var to const if applicable.
The main question is if this is wanted due to the churn.

I don't have a strong opinion on this if someone can confirm that there is no performance degression.

Any particular reason why you introduced a LF here but not in other files?

It stumbled over it while I cherry-picked this part from the other PR due to a conflict in this file. I can keep it as it is if you want me to undo it.

Historically, we have held off updating the code in benchmarks so that we can more realistically compare performance with older Node.js versions. We should be careful making these kinds of changes. @mscdex ... thoughts?

I don't have any opinion, we currently have mixed const usage throughout all benchmarks. *shrug*

Is there any conclusion about how to further progress? I guess as the benchmarks already contain const, this is a safe thing?

Note: the benchmarks change fast and I did this change by having a own eslint fix rule, so I would rebase as soon as there's a conclusion about how to go on.

Just as info - I am going to update this as soon as v8 6.1 lands. I think we are safe to land this because we already use const in the benchmarks and it will only only deopt in rare cases in older v8 versions.

Rebased. This should now be possible to land since we got v8 6.1 on master.

I would like to land this soon because the code base changes fast and I have to rebase often otherwise.

This requires #14881 backport to land in v8.x before it can be cherry-picked

Should this be backported to v6.x-staging? If yes please follow the guide and raise a backport PR, if not let me know or add the dont-land-on label.

This is likely to make benchmarks on 6.x slower though. TBQH I'm not sure this should have landed prior to 6.x going into maintenance mode as it will make future backports harder. That being said benchmarks have diverged quite a bit so it might be a moot point.

Glad to see this was part of the conversation prior to landing.

After looking at this again I do not really see the necessity for a backport here. If we add a new benchmark, backporting will be fine all the time. Changing benchmarks happens pretty rarely otherwise. If a backport is really necessary, I am of course fine to do so. It is not really much work as I just use a individual eslint rule for it. I am not sure anymore how bad const was in v.6 but I am pretty sure const was fine in most cases. Especially when looking at the changed variables.

@MylesBorins your call if I should open a backport or not.
