As discussed in nodejs/diagnostics#248 and
#21313, reusing HTTPParser resource
is a blocker for landing
require('async_hooks').currentAsyncResource(), since reusing an async
resource interanlly would make it infeasible to use them reliably in
WeakMaps. Two suggestions came up: have a wrapper around the HTTPParser
which we would use as the async resource, or stop reusing HTTPParser in
our HTTP server/client code.

This commit implements the latter, since we have a better GC now and
reusing HTTPParser might make sense anymore. This also will avoid one
extra JS->C++ call in some cases, which should improve performance for
these cases.

Be aware that when doing many comparisons the risk of a false-positive
result increases. In this case there are 18 comparisons, you can thus
expect the following amount of false-positive results:
  0.90 false positives, when considering a   5% risk acceptance (*, **, ***),
  0.18 false positives, when considering a   1% risk acceptance (**, ***),
  0.02 false positives, when considering a 0.1% risk acceptance (***)

I'll see if there's anything else we can optimize to compensate for these regressions. Also, I'm not sure if we can break the HTTPParser API. It's not documented, and this PR removes the .reinitialize() method.

@mcollina @Flarna @AndreasMadsen PTAL a let me know what you think.

Be aware that when doing many comparisons the risk of a false-positive
result increases. In this case there are 217 comparisons, you can thus
expect the following amount of false-positive results:
  10.85 false positives, when considering a   5% risk acceptance (*, **, ***),
  2.17 false positives, when considering a   1% risk acceptance (**, ***),
  0.22 false positives, when considering a 0.1% risk acceptance (***)

Yeah, http/client-request-body.js doesn't look good. There are some others that could be problematic too.

Increased Benchmark CI to 100 runs. There are quite a few comparisons, so I would like a good low confidence threshold (alpha) if possible.

https://ci.nodejs.org/view/Node.js%20benchmark/job/benchmark-node-micro-benchmarks/274/

It will take quite a while, so feel free to stop it if there is something else that is more important.

Tbh, I am not a fan of doing this – I was actually thinking about introducing similar mechanisms for other parts of Node, because there is noticable overhead associated with creating C++ objects. If we want less of a performance impact, we probably need to address that in V8 in some way before going this route…

@mmarchini As you pinged me to comment on this. I'm sorry but I feel not qualified to rate the results of these benchmarks. Clearly more overhead is bad but I can't tell the impact of these micro benchmarks to real world apps. I'm sure there are others in node community with more experience in this then me.

@addaleax Just for my personal interest. Do you have some hint or link to a more in depth info what exactly is causing the overhead with C++ objects? e.g. is it the need that GC has to call a finalizer or the crossing of JS/C++ border? I googled around but haven't found details.

@addaleax

@Flarna It’s the crossing of the JS/C++ border – there’s a lot of overhead in both directions… I didn’t see GC pop up as a significant slowdown in benchmarks, actually. And I wouldn’t expect finalizers to come with a lot of overhead, as that doesn’t require V8 to change engine state in some way…

The goal here is to make currentAsyncResource() return a unique resource for each async operation. Another approach @Flarna suggested is wrapping HTTPParser and using this wrapper as the resource. But this solution would have the same performance implications I think.

I'm open to suggestions :)
In the meantime, I'll try to optimize this approach.

I was actually thinking about introducing similar mechanisms for other parts of Node, because there is noticable overhead associated with creating C++ objects.

I think it's a good performance optimization as long as it doesn't hurt Node.js debugability and observability.

That would help I think. @hashseed @bmeurer any thoughts on this?

I mean, the IncomingMessage object is essentially that wrapper, right…? That would work for me…

Sounds good; using IncomingMessage has one more advantage - it's already public so one less undocumented/internal object exposed. I'm not yet that familiar with the node source code but it seems to me that HTTPParser is "automatically" an AsyncResource as it is a subclass of AsyncWrap. Not sure if this is moved easily from C++ to Javascript.

I like this idea, I'm trying it right now :)

IncomingMessage works for HTTPParser.REQUEST :D

Should we use ClientRequest for HTTPParser.RESPONSE? (ref: https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/lib/_http_client.js#L631-L635)

Using ClientRequest sound reasonable in current implementation even it's not that intuitive that a parser used for the response is bound to the object used for the request.
Once again async hooks expose implementation details here - but I think it's out of scope of this PR to tackle this.

I think we should not use the same resource type (e.g. HTTPPARSER) for both cases if the object passed is different.

@addaleax Hmm, but why is it slower then. The initial approach doesn't increase the number of native calls just changes from reinitialize to createParser which is mostly doing the same.

Regarding that and previusely work that have been done using JavaScript. Would it not be possible to compile llhttp or http_parser to WebAssembly and remove that overhead?
