The term "native module" dates back to some of the oldest code
in the code base. Within the context of Node.js core it usually
refers to modules that are native to Node.js (e.g. fs, http),
but it can cause confusion for people who don't work on this
part of the code base, as "native module" can also refer to
native addons - which is even the case in some of the API
docs and error messages.
This patch tries to make the usage of these terms more consistent.
Now within the context of Node.js core:
- JavaScript scripts that are built-in to Node.js are now referred
to as "built-in(s)". If they are available as modules,
they can also be referred to as "built-in module(s)".
- Dynamically-linked shared objects that are loaded into
the Node.js processes are referred to as "addons".
We will try to avoid using the term "native modules" because it could
be ambiguous.
Changes in this patch:
File names:
- node_native_module.h -> node_builtins.h,
- node_native_module.cc -> node_builtins.cc
C++ binding names:
- `native_module` -> `builtins`
`node::Environment`:
- `native_modules_without_cache` -> `builtins_without_cache`
- `native_modules_with_cache` -> `builtins_with_cache`
- `native_modules_in_snapshot` -> `builtins_in_cache`
- `native_module_require` -> `builtin_module_require`
`node::EnvSerializeInfo`:
- `native_modules` -> `builtins
`node::native_module::NativeModuleLoader`:
- `native_module` namespace -> `builtins` namespace
- `NativeModuleLoader` -> `BuiltinLoader`
- `NativeModuleRecordMap` -> `BuiltinSourceMap`
- `NativeModuleCacheMap` -> `BuiltinCodeCacheMap`
- `ModuleIds` -> `BuiltinIds`
- `ModuleCategories` -> `BuiltinCategories`
- `LoadBuiltinModuleSource` -> `LoadBuiltinSource`
`loader.js`:
- `NativeModule` -> `BuiltinModule` (the `NativeModule` name used in
`process.moduleLoadList` is kept for compatibility)
And other clarifications in the documentation and comments.

This adds a new functionality to the assertion module: a dedicated
check for regular expressions. So far it's possible to use
`assert.ok(regexp.test(string))`. This is not ideal though when it
comes to the error message, since it's not possible to know how
either of the input values look like. It's just known that the
assertion failed.
This allows to pass through the regular expression and the input
string. The string is then matched against the regular expression
and reports a expressive error message in case of a failure.

In case of a failure it will now throw an `AssertionError` instead
of the received error if the check fails. That error has the received
error as actual property and the expected property is set to the
expected error class.
The error message should help users to identify the problem faster
than before by providing extra context what went wrong.

This also adds support for primitive errors that would have caused
