Description of change

Overall cleanup in code, eliminate reliance on arguments.

Benchmarks show that as of v8 5.0.71.32, using rest params + apply has good performance. The spread operator is not yet well optimized in v8

It would be nice to see manual string concatenation added to the benchmarks. I suspect that would be the "fastest" (at least compared to template strings the last I checked).

jasnell · 2016-04-15T20:29:25Z

It's there.. see https://github.com/nodejs/node/pull/6233/files#diff-32494b677ab738804f3e70d72fa804adR31 .. specifically, the concat=1 config above means doing manual concat whereas concat=0 means use template strings

jasnell · 2016-04-15T20:31:12Z

And you're right, they edge out template strings just a bit... but not by much.

mscdex · 2016-04-15T20:36:00Z

@jasnell There is only benchmarking of util.format() and template strings currently. I meant also adding benchmarks for testing raw concatenation like 'this is ' + arguments[0] + ' of ' + arguments[1].

jasnell · 2016-04-15T20:59:39Z

oh! misunderstood... I was referring to the concat in util.format(...args) + '\n'.

Fishrock123 · 2016-04-19T04:24:31Z

It may be good to leave these (but not the benchmarks) for new contributors to deal with, since it's pretty easy to instruct people to change stuff to use es6.

jasnell · 2016-04-19T04:31:09Z

Why? I'm working in code already anyway (#6174). Is there a reason not to land this PR?

Fishrock123 · 2016-04-19T05:19:58Z

Why?

since it's pretty easy to instruct people to change stuff to use es6.

Is there a reason not to land this PR?

I meant the type of changes, as exciting as it may be for us. I haven't checked this PR, but so long as perf is good we should be fine I suppose.

jasnell · 2016-04-19T18:55:55Z

@mscdex ... updated the benchmark to include a rest params + concat only example and you're right, it is the fastest approach, but not by a whole lot. Using rest params with apply, util.format and concat for the \n seems to be a reasonable choice here.

jasnell · 2016-04-20T19:01:35Z

@mscdex ... how does this look to you now?

mscdex · 2016-04-20T20:48:56Z

What is the reason for using a stream in the benchmarks?

jasnell · 2016-04-20T20:56:36Z

@mscdex ... because I didn't want to write out to console but still wanted to keep the scenario as close to console.log and console.warn as possible.

mscdex · 2016-04-20T21:29:03Z

LGTM

It appears that a lint error was accidentally committed to master. This fixes the issue. Refs: nodejs#6233

Trott · 2016-04-20T22:57:37Z

Looks like this landed without running through CI. There's a linting error. Fix is in #6315

MylesBorins · 2016-04-20T22:58:33Z

already fixed in cff2a13

jasnell · 2016-04-20T23:00:30Z

It appears I have a bug in my landing script :-/ ... sometimes it runs lint, other times it doesn't. Not quite sure why. Ah well, that's what I get for making the landing script overly complicated ;-) ... looks like I'm back to manual linting

jasnell · 2016-04-20T23:02:02Z

@Trott ... what would you think about a git pre-commit hook that enforces linting before commit? Obviously folks would have to install it locally to use it but having it available in tree would be worthwhile

Trott · 2016-04-21T00:09:46Z

@jasnell Not sure. People are supposed to run make test before submitting a PR and that will run the linting, so... ¯_(ツ)_/¯

On the other hand, tools over rules and all that.

jasnell · 2016-04-21T00:11:24Z

heh... well, I pulled the faulty make lint stuff out of my landing script and went back to the tried and true pre-push git hook. That'll teach me to get fancy with it.
