Subject: buffer: optimize Buffer.byteLength
X-Git-Tag: v2.1.0~7
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9da168b71fb729635ad71e839630480e815623d0;p=platform%2Fupstream%2Fnodejs.git

buffer: optimize Buffer.byteLength

Buffer.byteLength is important for speed because it is called whenever a
new Buffer is created from a string.

This commit optimizes Buffer.byteLength execution by:
- moving base64 length calculation into JS-land, which is now much
  faster
- remove redundant code and streamline the UTF8 length calculation

It also adds a benchmark and better tests.
