I'm not sure what you mean. Commit 924cc6c didn't touch error handling, only how exception objects are decorated. |

@bnoordhuis if you run this code without 924cc6c it'll pass. But with, it'll fail. |

Hm, I'm sorry I'm wrong. I'm a bit puzzled as all tests passed until I rebased to the current master but I might have only run test-parallel instead of test. |

Prevent deoptimization of process.nextTick by removing the try finally block. This is not necessary as the next tick queue will be reset anyway, no matter if the callback throws or not.
Using a predefined array size prevents resizing the array and is therefor faster.

To remove a line in the call stack, think we could just move the if/else back into here? Open to why it should be kept in another function.

For me I had two reasons to split it up:
- It's less duplicated code
- The functions are smaller and the compiler might optimize them faster but I did not check that
I do not have any strong feelings about that though

oop. missed that it's called in multiple locations. sounds good.

CI: https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-pull-request/1555/ (on lock down ATM, will report back when complete) |

CI is all green except for a couple of flaky tests on ARM. |

LGTM @bnoordhuis Have an opinion on the change? |

Marking this for LTS but we should let it sit in master and v5 for a bit before landing |
|
I think I'm leaning -1 on this given that it changes the call stack. If you're relying on it for some reason (say in a debugging tool of some kind) then you'd be in trouble. I'd even be tempted to push for this as |
|
@rvagg ... I'm leaning the same way. We need to let these kinds of changes sit in stable for a while before we even consider them eligible for pulling back to LTS. |
|
This is a micro-performance optimization. If there's a question as to whether it should be backported, the answer is most likely no. |

I'm marking this as don't land for now. Please feel free to change |

* buffer:
- You can now supply an encoding argument when filling a
Buffer Buffer#fill(string[, start[, end]][, encoding]), supplying
an existing Buffer will also work with
Buffer#fill(buffer[, start[, end]]). See the API documentation for
details on how this works. (Trevor Norris) #4935
- Buffer#indexOf() no longer requires a byteOffset argument if you
also wish to specify an encoding:
Buffer#indexOf(val[, byteOffset][, encoding]).
(Trevor Norris) #4803
* child_process: spawn() and spawnSync() now support a 'shell' option
to allow for optional execution of the given command inside a shell.
If set to true, cmd.exe will be used on Windows and /bin/sh
elsewhere. A path to a custom shell can also be passed to override
these defaults. On Windows, this option allows .bat. and .cmd files
to be executed with spawn() and spawnSync(). (Colin Ihrig) #4598
* http_parser: Update to http-parser 2.6.2 to fix an unintentionally
strict limitation of allowable header characters.
(James M Snell) #5237
* dgram: socket.send() now supports accepts an array of Buffers or
Strings as the first argument. See the API docs for details on how
this works. (Matteo Collina) #4374
* http: Fix a bug where handling headers will mistakenly trigger an
'upgrade' event where the server is just advertising its protocols.
This bug can prevent HTTP clients from communicating with HTTP/2
enabled servers. (Fedor Indutny) #4337
* net: Added a listening Boolean property to net and http servers to
indicate whether the server is listening for connections.
(José Moreira) #4743
* node: The C++ node::MakeCallback() API is now reentrant and calling
it from inside another MakeCallback() call no longer causes the
nextTick queue or Promises microtask queue to be processed out of
order. (Trevor Norris) #4507
* tls: Add a new tlsSocket.getProtocol() method to get the negotiated
TLS protocol version of the current connection. (Brian White) #4995
* vm: Introduce new 'produceCachedData' and 'cachedData' options to
new vm.Script() to interact with V8's code cache. When a new
vm.Script object is created with the 'produceCachedData' set to true
a Buffer with V8's code cache data will be produced and stored in
cachedData property of the returned object. This data in turn may be
supplied back to another vm.Script() object with a 'cachedData'
option if the supplied source is the same. Successfully executing a
script from cached data can speed up instantiation time. See the API
docs for details. (Fedor Indutny) #4777
* performance: Improvements in:
- process.nextTick() (Ruben Bridgewater) #5092
- path module (Brian White) #5123
- querystring module (Brian White) #5012
- streams module when processing small chunks (Matteo Collina) #4354

The performance gain is between 5-10% looking at the already existing nextTick benchmarks.
@trevnorris pointed out that this is might be depending on #4507. I guess this could be handled independently though.
@bnoordhuis the new v8::Private api seems to change the error handling in C and after that commit the nextTick callback errors are not handled in C anymore. I'm not sure this was a intended change?
