src: use symbol to store `AsyncWrap` resource #31745

addaleax · 2020-02-12T00:26:43Z

Use a symbol on the bindings object to store the public resource object,
rather than a v8::Global Persistent. This has several advantages:

It’s harder to inadvertently create memory leaks this way.
The garbage collector sees the AsyncWrap → resource link like
a regular JS property, and can collect the objects as a group,
even if the resource object should happen to point back to the
AsyncWrap object.
This will make it easier in the future to use owner_symbol for
this purpose, which is generally the direction we should be moving
the async_hooks API into (i.e. using more public objects instead
of letting internal wires stick out).

Looks like un-setting the field during GC isn’t allowed (which is reasonable, I guess). I’ll switch this over to using an internal field after #31960 lands – that should work as well. The big downside there is that it will make merging with owner_symbol harder, not easier.

I’ve rebased this, with a smaller patch that instead only unsets the resource if not triggered from GC. I think that’s fine, considering that the object won’t be accessed anymore anyway if EmitDestroy() is caued by GC, and it’s more in line with the original intention of the PR, which included making this more similar to owner_symbol.

LGTM, with one non-blocking question.

non-blocking nit... would prefer an enum here rather than a bool but that can be done in a separate PR

I generally agree with that but here there’s effectively only one call site where passing true ever makes sense, so I don’t think this really falls under “boolean trap”.

This change landing on v12.18.2 resulted in breakages in the glob-watcher module being used internally by gulp. The breakages appear to be related to an out of date dependency on chokidar which in turn depends on an out of date version of fsevents. While this did break in a semver-patch, it is not clear that this specific change caused the breakage as opposed to making an existing breakage more obvious by fixing something else.

At the moment I don't think there is any need to revert, but wanted to document research here.

It's somehow a followup and fixed an issue introduced so keep them linked.
