From 622ca5ef8007c9a87a031dc9e7a5fc24cee7454f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jason Zhang Date: Tue, 1 Oct 2024 22:55:03 +0930 Subject: [PATCH] worker: add `markAsUncloneable` api External modules need a way to decorate their objects so that node can recognize it as a host object for serialization process. Exposing a way for turning off instead of turning on is much safer. --- doc/api/worker_threads.md | 32 +++++++++ lib/internal/worker/io.js | 16 +++++ lib/worker_threads.js | 2 + ...test-worker-message-mark-as-uncloneable.js | 70 +++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 120 insertions(+) create mode 100644 test/parallel/test-worker-message-mark-as-uncloneable.js diff --git a/doc/api/worker_threads.md b/doc/api/worker_threads.md index b718a90f621178..ddf7a2cd5450c0 100644 --- a/doc/api/worker_threads.md +++ b/doc/api/worker_threads.md @@ -194,6 +194,38 @@ isMarkedAsUntransferable(pooledBuffer); // Returns true.
