process: add --unhandled-rejections flag #26599

This adds a flag to define the default behavior for unhandled
rejections. Three modes exist: none, warn and strict. The first
is going to silence all unhandled rejection warnings. The second
behaves identical to the current default with the excetion that no
deprecation warning will be printed and the last is going to throw
an error for each unhandled rejection, just as regular exceptions do.
It is possible to intercept those with the uncaughtException hook
as with all other exceptions as well.

This PR has no influence on the existing unhandledRejection hook.
If that is used, it will continue to function as before.

Supersedes #20097

Code changes and proposed modes LGTM. If you don't mind, I want to investigate how this works with postmortem/llnode before we land. I'm not sure calling process.abort() is the best approach in this case and I think the stackTraceLimit reset trick to speed up Error creation might interfere with recent developments to make llnode more useful when investigating unhandled promise rejections (see https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/v8/v8/+/1405568 and nodejs/llnode#271).

Although I'd still prefer the deprecation warning be removed in the default case, I'm glad it's removed when an explicit flag is passed.

I had to rebase due to conflicts, so PTAL.

From a postmortem/llnode perspective (with the flags --unhandled-rejections=strict and --abort-on-uncaught-exception set):

  1. The stack we get on the output is correct in most common cases (when we reject or throw inside a Promise/async function by passing an error to reject/throw.
  2. The ReportException called inside TriggerFatalException will turn the JSArray stack stored in the Error object into its stringified version, and the frames stored in the JSArray will be deleted. This will render src: inspcet arguments from an Error object stack llnode#271 useless, but this is how V8 works and I think we should make changes there instead of blocking this PR because of it.
  3. The stack we get on llnode (by using v8 bt) is not very useful, but this was expected and should be addressed by 2.

LGTM, the only thing I think we should change is on V8 and not on Node.js, so I'll open an upstream PR for that.

Edit: Upstream PR, if anyone is interested: https://chromium-review.googlesource.com/c/v8/v8/+/1518612

LGTM once the default behaviour is clarified.

I improved the documentation and the warn I reworked the warn mode a tiny bit: it will now always warn (but without the deprecation notice), even if there is an unhandled rejections on in place.

The changes are in the 18c420d and a2eb1ea.

@BridgeAR so to clarify, warn doesn't show the deprecation warning and it ignores handlers (assuming they don't actually handle the rejection) and the default did not change?

@benjamingr

it ignores handlers

Exactly

assuming they don't actually handle the rejection

That's a good point. I forgot that they might actually add a handler. I'll add a fix for that so I verify that the promise is indeed still unhandled before printing the warning.

the default did not change

There is absolutely no behavior change if non of the flags is used. That is one of the goals with this PR.

Thinking about it again: I would rather always warn, even if the unhandled rejection hook attached a handler. Otherwise it would a) be possible to silence those warnings with the hook which I think is orthogonal to what the user wants if they use the warn mode and b) it increases the complexity for the implementation (I have to wait another tick and add extra information and then check if it got handled in the meanwhile).

Still seems good to me!

Perhaps could this flag be set by an environment variable? That way it would be able to affect shebangs in files, or nested node commands i might not be able to edit.

--unhandled-rejections has three explicit modes (strict, warn, none)
plus one implicit "default" mode, which logs an additional deprecation
warning (DEP0018).

Prior to this commit, the default mode was subtly different from warn
mode. If the unhandledRejections hook is set, default mode suppresses
all warnings. In warn mode, unhandledRejections would always fire a
warning, regardless of whether the hook was set.

In addition, prior to this commit, strict mode would always throw an
exception, regardless of whether the hook was set.

In this commit, all modes honor the unhandledRejections hook. If the
user has set the hook, then the user has taken full responsibility over
the behavior of unhandled rejections. In that case, no additional
warnings or thrown exceptions will be fired, even in warn mode or
strict mode.

This commit is a stepping stone towards resolving DEP0018. After this
commit, any code that includes an unhandledRejection hook will behave
unchanged when we change the default mode.
