node.js

// Hello, and welcome to hacking node.js!
//
// This file is invoked by `node::RunBootstrapping()` in `src/node.cc`, and is
// responsible for setting up node.js core before executing main scripts
// under `lib/internal/main/`.
//
// This file is expected not to perform any asynchronous operations itself
// when being executed - those should be done in either
// `lib/internal/bootstrap/pre_execution.js` or in main scripts. The majority
// of the code here focus on setting up the global proxy and the process
// object in a synchronous manner.
// As special caution is given to the performance of the startup process,
// many dependencies are invoked lazily.
//
// Scripts run before this file:
// - `lib/internal/per_context/primordials.js`: to save copies of JavaScript
//   builtins that won't be affected by user land monkey-patching for internal
//   modules to use.
// - `lib/internal/bootstrap/loaders.js`: to setup internal binding and
//   module loaders, including `process.binding()`, `process._linkedBinding()`,
//   `internalBinding()` and `NativeModule`.
//
// This file is run to bootstrap both the main thread and the worker threads.
// After this file is run, certain properties are setup according to the
// configuration of the Node.js instance using the files in
// `lib/internal/bootstrap/switches/`.
//
// Then, depending on how the Node.js instance is launched, one of the main
// scripts in `lib/internal/main` will be selected by C++ to start the actual
// execution. They may run additional setups exported by
// `lib/internal/bootstrap/pre_execution.js` depending on the runtime states.

'use strict';

// This file is compiled as if it's wrapped in a function with arguments
// passed by node::RunBootstrapping()
