The missing HandleScope was leaking. Thank you for pointing me to this collection of examples. (I prefer to use a class for the Baton. It's more convenient.) In my HelloWorld example, the AsyncA function does not include any blocking operations, but during my next project I need the thread pool

[nodejs] ANN: blog article on async programming and generators

A bit off topic because generators are not yet available in V8. But if you are curious about how node.js async code could look like in the future: http://bjouhier.wordpress.com/2012/05/18/asynchronous-javascript-with-generators-an-experiment/ -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guide

Re: [nodejs] Object as hash with 7 million entries slows V8

If this is not fixed yet, you could move the hash to a thread_a_gogo so that the hiccups won't happen in node's event loop thread, but in the thread_a_gogo. You will still see delays when accessing the hash keys, but as the access to the hash will be asynchronous they won't be blocking node.

Hi, I'm also interested in this project. Have a look on my framework [https://github.com/shogun147/Katana] It could be good alternative to Express, especially for building such project or any cms like solution. Good luck! -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://git

Re: [nodejs] Object as hash with 7 million entries slows V8

Thanks Jorge, I turned off idle notifications and exposed the gc which runs every 30 minutes or so. That's had a good impact on CPU across the whole application. Then for the hash I switched to a Buffer backed hash implementation. I can keep the per key memory overhead much lower like that and

Re: [nodejs] Question about buffers

No i dont think, that's the way its done, since it would be very inefficient and each chunk is converted to a string directly. I Believe that string decoder checks the end of each chunk to see if any multibyte char is straddling, very easy check in utf8 encoding, and excludes the partial char

Hi Graeme, indeed it's a RPC call to a program in Python. Dan, here is the relevant code; User makes a HTTP request to /test and the program sends a message to a python and returns the result to the user. How do you think it would be the best implementation for this? var connection = amqp.create

[nodejs] File Upload: Defending Against Misuse and Abuse

I'm starting to implement file upload in my app (http:// outlinetracker.com/zapphotoshare/index.html). The "formidable" module looks to be a good choice to handle the server-side details of the upload process. Obviously, I need to prevent the disk from being filled up with uploads. Is there an A

Yes, this thread will last until next year, when someone just tells us to use the randomString() api and not try to reinvent the wheel. On Sat, May 19, 2012 at 1:02 AM, Jorge wrote: > On May 18, 2012, at 7:10 AM, Aleksander Adamowski wrote: > > On Wednesday, August 3, 2011 12:15:32 PM UTC+2, Jo

Re: [nodejs] Question about buffers

So the "fast" way of converting a multi-buffer stream back into a string would be to use string decoder, and convert each chunk, then concat the strings right? In v8, the strings are actually cons-strings, so adding 2 strings together should be an O(1) operation right? On Sat, May 19, 2012 at 5:

Re: [nodejs] ANN: blog article on async programming and generators

I'm not sure I get it but I'll try to answer. What I'm describing in the post is how logic can be expressed with generators rather than callbacks. I'm assuming that the low level calls are callback-style. So, there is no reference to any specific I/O library and/or to back pressure. The back
