The old setting wasn't working? Shouldn't stuff like this be caught by tests?

indutny · 2015-11-22T03:13:11Z

There is no observable behavior change when using snapshot. It doesn't look like there is a public V8 API method to check this either.

bnoordhuis · 2015-11-24T12:32:50Z

This PR broke cross-compiling for ARM (and it was caught by the CI), see nodejs/build#263 (comment).

orangemocha · 2015-11-24T15:11:53Z

Should we temporarily revert the change to keep the CI working?

indutny · 2015-11-24T17:18:44Z

Looking

Should we wait for nodejs/build#266 to resolve before landing this on LTS?

rvagg · 2015-12-01T02:15:06Z

@thealphanerd I say hold on it, let's wait for @joaocgreis to catch up on this snapshot + cross-compile thing and weigh in

Notable changes: * build: - Add support for Intel's VTune JIT profiling when compiled with --enable-vtune-profiling. For more information about VTune, see https://software.intel.com/en-us/node/544211. (Chunyang Dai) #3785. - Properly enable V8 snapshots by default. Due to a configuration error, snapshots have been kept off by default when the intention is for the feature to be enabled. (Fedor Indutny) #3962. * crypto: - Simplify use of ECDH (Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman) objects (created via crypto.createECDH(curve_name)) with private keys that are not dynamically generated via generateKeys(). The public key is now computed when explicitly setting a private key. Added validity checks to reduce the possibility of computing weak or invalid shared secrets.

@thealphanerd nodejs/build#266 has been resolved and the fix has landed in v4.x-staging, this should work for LTS in CI now.

rvagg · 2015-12-10T02:16:45Z

Sucks that we can't test if it's been enabled or not.

My rough testing (node -pe 'process.versions' > /dev/null over 500 iterations) shows the following startup speed increases:

OS X:
- v5.2.0 starts 41.3% faster than v5.1.0
- v5.2.0 starts 44.5% faster than v4.2.3
Linux 64-bit:
- v5.2.0 starts 47.18% faster than v5.1.0
- v5.2.0 starts 42.36% faster than v4.2.3

In real terms that's roughly being able to run those 500 starts over ~35s compared to ~50s. This will be good to get into the next v4.x.

For context: snapshots are disabled in all v0.10 and v0.12 builds (they were disabled somewhere in v0.6.x) for security reasons, we thought we re-enabled them @ io.js v2.0.2 / 36cdc7c but as @indutny discovered, a 1 wasn't actually enabling them.

rvagg · 2015-12-10T02:23:26Z

@nodejs/benchmarking it'd be great if startup speed could be included in your efforts somewhere, it's such a key performance metric to many users (fast-restart-on-error is considered best practice by many, as opposed to the JVM cross-your-fingers-on-error approach). Having measurements to push for improvements and protect against regressions would be really helpful.

fundon · 2015-12-10T16:13:02Z

Really?
Nice!

MylesBorins · 2015-12-15T00:39:50Z

@rvagg is this good to land in LTS now?

rvagg · 2015-12-15T00:43:43Z

I think yes, absolutely @thealphanerd

rvagg · 2015-12-15T00:44:11Z

best run CI against v4.x-staging afterward though @thealphanerd, just in case there's something hanging over from the arm build problems
