@gabrielschulhof I assume this did not land cleanly so a merge was required. Is there a better way to review than looking at all of the changes. Hopeing there is a smaller subset that needs a review. |

@mhdawson I was actually proactive about this one, because it's performance related. We definitely want this backported, and it didn't land cleanly. I may have to rebase because these other commits are definitely not intended to be part of the backport. |
Added a new struct CallbackBundle to eliminate all GetInternalField() calls. The principle is to store all required data inside a C++ struct, and then store the pointer in the JavaScript object. Before this change, the required data are stored in the JavaScript object in 3 or 4 seperate pointers. For every napi fun call, 3 of them have to be fetched out, which are 3 GetInternalField() calls; after this change, the C++ struct will be directly fetched out by using v8::External::Value(), which is faster. Profiling data show that GetInternalField() is slow. On an i7-4770K (3.50GHz) box, a C++ V8-binding fun call is 8 ns, before this change, napi fun call is 36 ns; after this change, napi fun call is 20 ns. The above data are measured using a modified benchmark in 'benchmark/misc/function_call'. The modification adds an indicator of the average time of a "chatty" napi fun call (max 50M runs). This change will speed up chatty case 1.8x (overall), and will cut down the delay of napi mechanism to approx. 0.5x. Background: a simple C++ binding function (e.g. receiving little from JS, doing little and returning little to JS) is called 'chatty' case for JS<-->C++ fun call routine. This improvement also applies to getter/setter fun calls. PR-URL: nodejs#21072 Reviewed-By: Anna Henningsen <[email protected]> Reviewed-By: Gabriel Schulhof <[email protected]>

@mhdawson rebased – the delta is much smaller now. |

and then store the pointer in the JavaScript object. Before this

by using v8::External::Value(), which is faster.
Profiling data show that GetInternalField() is slow.
On an i7-4770K (3.50GHz) box, a C++ V8-binding fun call is 8 ns,

of the average time of a "chatty" napi fun call (max 50M runs).

'chatty' case for JS<-->C++ fun call routine.
This improvement also applies to getter/setter fun calls.
