zlib: be strict about what strategies are accepted #10934
Conversation
Currently, strategy constants are integers but Node.js will accept string versions of those integers. Users should be using the provided zlib constants and not hardcoding numbers, strings, or anything else. As such, Node.js should be strict about accepting only exactly those values that are in the provided zlib constants. Fixes: nodejs#10932

Nit: why !(strategies.includes(opts.strategy)) instead of just !strategies.includes(opts.strategy)?

Happy to remove it if it's bothersome, but the reason I (sometimes) use the parentheses like that are:
- clarity of intention
- helps out people who may not know operator precedence
- force of habit from
!(foo instanceof Buffer)being the correct way to do things because!foo instanceof Buffermeans checking that!foois an instance ofBufferwhich is not at all the same asfoo not an instances of Buffer....

No problem, keep it the way it is.

A range check may be faster than includes ...e.g.
if (opts.strategy >= constants.Z_DEFAULT_STRATEGY &&
opt.strategy <= constants.Z_FIXED) { ... }
A bit more work to maintain if these values ever change but it avoids the linear scan of the array that includes() requires.

Given the overhead of actually compressing and/or decompressing, I suspect such a change for performance purposes in the constructor would be something that would be impossible to measure in any real-world scenario. Counter-examples more than welcome. Barring that, I would prefer the code be clear and not be dependent on unspoken assumptions about constants defined externally.
