  • Refactor how asynchronous code is executed from within Node
  • Merge the two almost-but-not-quite identical MakeCallback() implementations
  • Provide a public CallbackScope class for embedders in order to enable MakeCallback()-like behaviour without tying that to calling a JS function
  • Enable combining N-API async work with async-hooks
Checklist
  • make -j4 test (UNIX), or vcbuild test (Windows) passes
  • commit message follows commit guidelines
Affected core subsystem(s)

/cc @nodejs/n-api (Who may or may not only want to review the N-API commit; this is a breaking N-API change)

N-API parts look good.

I'm still planning to add an async context parameter to napi_make_callback() to support other async scenarios that don't use the N-API async work APIs.

If I'm understanding correctly, the change in this PR means that when the N-API async work APIs are used, during the napi_async_complete_callback invocation the current async context is already correct. Usually that callback will then invoke napi_make_callback(). So the additional async context parameter to napi_make_callback() can be optional, and the current async context used if another context is not specified.

@jasongin This PR would mean that napi_make_callback would be unnecessary for most completion C callbacks; N-API users who use the async work API wouldn’t need to bother with any of the async stuff and could just use a plain function call.

Oh, so the async work callback should just call napi_call_function() instead? OK, that's simpler.

Then the only need for napi_make_callback() (updated with async context parameter) will be for async code that doesn't use the async work API.

In that case should test/addons-napi/test_async/test_async.cc be updated to call napi_call_function() instead of napi_make_callback() (in 2 places)?

@jasongin Exactly 👍

Right. Done!

Rebased … maybe somebody of @AndreasMadsen @trevnorris @refack @TimothyGu @tniessen @bnoordhuis @jasnell could be reviewer (if only for the yet-unreviewed non-N-API part)?

CI: https://ci.nodejs.org/job/node-test-commit/11769/

doc/api/n-api.md Outdated
napi_async_execute_callback execute,
napi_async_complete_callback complete,

napi_async_work* result);
```

- `[in] env`: The environment that the API is invoked under.
- `[in] async_resource_name`: An identifier for the kind of resource that is
being provided for diagnostic information expose by the `async_hooks` API.
