test: increased externalized string length #36451

Refs https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/v8/v8/+/2565511.

V8 has removed the ability to externalize internal external uncached strings via MakeExternal, as it is not thread-safe. This means that the examples that are in the test at present will begin to fail once Node.js rolls in the relevant CL, because their small size made them internal external uncached strings. This preemptively fixes the issue by making the strings bigger so they become internal & external & cached.

Electron hit and fixed this in electron/electron@0bf50b0

@codebytere -

  • Is there a rule / definition on what makes up a small string?
  • does this mean small strings cannot be reliably used in Node.js?

@gireeshpunathil unfortunately V8's bug tracker was pretty unclear about this - I couldn't find a specific minimum length specified. I don't believe this affects other aspects of Node.js beyond direct calls to externalizeString, no. The larger tracking bug is here: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/v8/issues/detail?id=7790 which may provide more insight?
