/**
* The `worker_threads` module enables the use of threads that execute JavaScript
* in parallel. To access it:
*
* ```js
* const worker = require('worker_threads');
* ```
*
* Workers (threads) are useful for performing CPU-intensive JavaScript operations.
* They do not help much with I/O-intensive work. The Node.js built-in
* asynchronous I/O operations are more efficient than Workers can be.
*
* Unlike `child_process` or `cluster`, `worker_threads` can share memory. They do
* so by transferring `ArrayBuffer` instances or sharing `SharedArrayBuffer`instances.
*
* ```js
* const {
* Worker, isMainThread, parentPort, workerData
* } = require('worker_threads');
*
* if (isMainThread) {
* module.exports = function parseJSAsync(script) {
* return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
* const worker = new Worker(__filename, {
* workerData: script
* });
* worker.on('message', resolve);
* worker.on('error', reject);
* worker.on('exit', (code) => {
* if (code !== 0)
* reject(new Error(`Worker stopped with exit code ${code}`));
* });
* });
* };
* } else {
* const { parse } = require('some-js-parsing-library');
* const script = workerData;
* parentPort.postMessage(parse(script));
* }
* ```
*
* The above example spawns a Worker thread for each `parse()` call. In actual
* practice, use a pool of Workers for these kinds of tasks. Otherwise, the
* overhead of creating Workers would likely exceed their benefit.
*
* When implementing a worker pool, use the `AsyncResource` API to inform
* diagnostic tools (e.g. to provide asynchronous stack traces) about the
* correlation between tasks and their outcomes. See `"Using AsyncResource for a Worker thread pool"` in the `async_hooks` documentation for an example implementation.
*
* Worker threads inherit non-process-specific options by default. Refer to `Worker constructor options` to know how to customize worker thread options,
* specifically `argv` and `execArgv` options.
* @see [source](https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/v17.0.0/lib/worker_threads.js)

* the [HTML structured clone algorithm](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API/Structured_clone_algorithm).
*
* In particular, the significant differences to `JSON` are:
*
* * `value` may contain circular references.
* * `value` may contain instances of builtin JS types such as `RegExp`s,`BigInt`s, `Map`s, `Set`s, etc.
* * `value` may contain typed arrays, both using `ArrayBuffer`s
* and `SharedArrayBuffer`s.
* * `value` may contain [`WebAssembly.Module`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/WebAssembly/Module) instances.
* * `value` may not contain native (C++-backed) objects other than:
*
* ```js
* const { MessageChannel } = require('worker_threads');
* const { port1, port2 } = new MessageChannel();
*
* port1.on('message', (message) => console.log(message));
*
* const circularData = {};
* circularData.foo = circularData;
* // Prints: { foo: [Circular] }
* port2.postMessage(circularData);
* ```
*
* `transferList` may be a list of [`ArrayBuffer`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/ArrayBuffer), `MessagePort` and `FileHandle` objects.
* After transferring, they are not usable on the sending side of the channel
* anymore (even if they are not contained in `value`). Unlike with `child processes`, transferring handles such as network sockets is currently
* not supported.
*
* If `value` contains [`SharedArrayBuffer`](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/SharedArrayBuffer) instances, those are accessible
* from either thread. They cannot be listed in `transferList`.
*
* `value` may still contain `ArrayBuffer` instances that are not in`transferList`; in that case, the underlying memory is copied rather than moved.
*
* ```js
* const { MessageChannel } = require('worker_threads');
* const { port1, port2 } = new MessageChannel();
*
* port1.on('message', (message) => console.log(message));
*
* const uint8Array = new Uint8Array([ 1, 2, 3, 4 ]);
* // This posts a copy of `uint8Array`:
* port2.postMessage(uint8Array);
* // This does not copy data, but renders `uint8Array` unusable:
* port2.postMessage(uint8Array, [ uint8Array.buffer ]);
*
* // The memory for the `sharedUint8Array` is accessible from both the
* // original and the copy received by `.on('message')`:
* const sharedUint8Array = new Uint8Array(new SharedArrayBuffer(4));
* port2.postMessage(sharedUint8Array);
*
* // This transfers a freshly created message port to the receiver.
* // This can be used, for example, to create communication channels between
* // multiple `Worker` threads that are children of the same parent thread.
* const otherChannel = new MessageChannel();
* port2.postMessage({ port: otherChannel.port1 }, [ otherChannel.port1 ]);
* ```
*
* The message object is cloned immediately, and can be modified after
* posting without having side effects.

* The `Worker` class represents an independent JavaScript execution thread.
* Most Node.js APIs are available inside of it.
*
* Notable differences inside a Worker environment are:
*
* * The `process.stdin`, `process.stdout` and `process.stderr` may be redirected by the parent thread.
* * The `require('worker_threads').isMainThread` property is set to `false`.
* * The `require('worker_threads').parentPort` message port is available.
* * `process.exit()` does not stop the whole program, just the single thread,
* and `process.abort()` is not available.
* * `process.chdir()` and `process` methods that set group or user ids
* are not available.
* * `process.env` is a copy of the parent thread's environment variables,
* unless otherwise specified. Changes to one copy are not visible in other
* threads, and are not visible to native add-ons (unless `worker.SHARE_ENV` is passed as the `env` option to the `Worker` constructor).
* * `process.title` cannot be modified.
* * Signals are not delivered through `process.on('...')`.
* * Execution may stop at any point as a result of `worker.terminate()` being invoked.
* * IPC channels from parent processes are not accessible.
* * The `trace_events` module is not supported.
* * Native add-ons can only be loaded from multiple threads if they fulfill `certain conditions`.
*
* Creating `Worker` instances inside of other `Worker`s is possible.
*
* Like [Web Workers](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API) and the `cluster module`, two-way communication can be
* achieved through inter-thread message passing. Internally, a `Worker` has a
* built-in pair of `MessagePort` s that are already associated with each other
* when the `Worker` is created. While the `MessagePort` object on the parent side
* is not directly exposed, its functionalities are exposed through `worker.postMessage()` and the `worker.on('message')` event
* on the `Worker` object for the parent thread.
*
* To create custom messaging channels (which is encouraged over using the default
* global channel because it facilitates separation of concerns), users can create
* a `MessageChannel` object on either thread and pass one of the`MessagePort`s on that `MessageChannel` to the other thread through a
* pre-existing channel, such as the global one.
*
* See `port.postMessage()` for more information on how messages are passed,
* and what kind of JavaScript values can be successfully transported through
* the thread barrier.
*
* ```js
* const assert = require('assert');
* const {
* Worker, MessageChannel, MessagePort, isMainThread, parentPort
* } = require('worker_threads');
* if (isMainThread) {
* const worker = new Worker(__filename);

* subChannel.port2.on('message', (value) => {
* console.log('received:', value);
* });
* } else {
* parentPort.once('message', (value) => {
* assert(value.hereIsYourPort instanceof MessagePort);
* value.hereIsYourPort.postMessage('the worker is sending this');
