Need For Speed: Nodejs Module In C++

Introduction

The reason can't be more simple: the need for speed.

According to a simple test between node-uuid and C++ uuid, the truth was told: C++ is faster.

The time consumptions of 1M generations of uuid is almost 3s(node-uuid) vs. 0.3s(C++ modules based on boost uuid).

So, the advices is: crucial module should be written in C++, if you have time for this.

node-uuid Module in C++

node-uuid.h

#ifndef NODE_UUID_H
#define NODE_UUID_H

using namespace v8;

#define NODE_UUID_CLS_NAME "nodeUuid"

namespace igame

  namespace uuid {
