This makes walking large directory trees much more efficient on Node 10.10 or later. See: https://lwn.net/Articles/606995/ https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0471/ nodejs/node#22020 https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v10.10.0/ Signed-off-by: Anders Kaseorg <andersk@mit.edu>

You don't need to slice since getAccessibleFileSystemEntries returns new array for directories..

Not always: return emptyFileSystemEntries does not. Of course, that’s easy to change. I’ve added a commit doing so.
Edit: I’ve now removed that commit again because we didn’t want to change the type of getAccessibleFileSystemEntries (at least not in this PR); see this discussion.

@andersk I don't feel strongly either way. I agree that it's a small overhead, I just thought it seemed like a shame to pay it for all future versions (whereas an explicit version check is more likely to be cleaned up if we decide to deprecate older nodes). Either way, this is a huge improvement over the current implementation. Thanks again! |

The CI failure is unrelated. We're working on it. |

Closing and re-opening to re-trigger CI. |

Thanks, @andersk! My local benchmarking suggests this will make a big difference. And sorry about the delay in getting eyes on your PR. |
