buffer: Prevent Buffer constructor deopt
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The Buffer constructor will generally get inlined, but any call to the Buffer
constructor for a string without encoding will cause an eager deoptimization
of any function that inlined the Buffer constructor. This is due to a an
out-of-bounds read on `arguments[1]`. This change prevents that deopt.
