Why do we silently return here? Wouldn't an ASSERT be better?

[marja, 2014/04/09 12:53:55]

This data is coming in via the API, maybe the original author (this func used to
be ScriptData::New) didn't want to use ASSERT to validate user input?

Nothing bad will happen if the user passes data which is obviously invalid; we
will (silently) ignore it and parsing will be slower.

Would you rather have an ASSERT here? What's the V8 policy wrt asserting if
input is invalid?

I think that silently (not) doing something is quite bad and will bite us sooner
or later. The corresponding API function has a way to communicate failure by
returning an empty handle, so this is what should happen somehow. The question
is how to communicate this through the layers, failing in the constructor
without having exceptions is ugly, so one could e.g. use a factory method
instead, but I'll leave the details up to you. :-)

This comment doesn't really belong here.

Done.

[Sven Panne, 2014/04/07 12:44:44]

I think restructuring this function makes things clearer, something along the
lines of:

    owns_store_ = reinterpret_cast<intptr_t>(data) % sizeof(unsigned) != 0;
    if (owns_store_) {
       <make an aligned copy and assign the start of it to data>
    }
    <wrap data/length into a vector>

[marja, 2014/04/09 12:53:55]

Done.
