Change the uv_fs_write() prototype so the 'buf' argument is now
`const void*` rather than `void*`.
The argument is stored in a non-const field in the uv_fs_t but that's
inconsequential because the memory it points to is not touched.
Make it possible for the libuv user to handle out of memory conditions
gracefully. When alloc_cb() returns a buffer with len==0, call the read
or recv callback with nread=UV_ENOBUFS. It's up to the user to stop or
close the handle.
Fixes#752.
Before this commit, uv_fs_chown() and uv_fs_fchown() took the uid and
gid as signed integers which is wrong because uid_t and gid_t are
unsigned on most all platforms and IDs that don't fit in a signed
integer do exist.
This is not an ABI change because the size of the uid and gid arguments
do not change, only their sign.
On Windows, uv_uid_t and uv_gid_t are typedef'd as unsigned char for
reasons that are unclear. It doesn't matter: they get cast to ints when
used as function arguments. The arguments themselves are unused.
Partial fix for joyent/node#5890.
This commit changes the libuv API to return error codes directly rather
than storing them in a loop-global field.
A code snippet like this one:
if (uv_foo(loop) < 0) {
uv_err_t err = uv_last_error(loop);
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", uv_strerror(err));
}
Should be rewritten like this:
int err = uv_foo(loop);
if (err < 0)
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", uv_strerror(err));
The rationale for this change is that it should make creating bindings
for other languages a lot easier: dealing with struct return values is
painful with most FFIs and often downright buggy.
Switch to the build tool everyone loves to hate. The Makefile has
served us well over the years but it's been acquiring more and more
features that autotools gives us for free, like easy static+shared
library building, sane install targets, and so on.
This commit drops MinGW support. If there is demand for it, we'll
re-add it.
This patch adds the `uv_stream_set_blocking` API which makes all
uv_write calls to that stream blocking. It currently only works for
pipes, on windows.
Include the netmask when returning information about the OS network
interfaces.
This commit provides implementations for windows and those unix
platforms using getifaddrs().
AIX was not implemented because it requires the use of ioctls and I do
not have an AIX development/test environment. The windows code was
developed using mingw on winxp as I do not have access to visual studio.
Tested on darwin (ipv4/ipv6) and winxp (ipv4 only). Needs testing on
newer windows using ipv6 and other unix platforms.
On Unix, uv_udp_open can be used with any socket as long as the socket
follows the datagram contract (works in unconnected mode, supports
sendmsg()/recvmsg(), etc.). This means that any datagram-socket, like
for example netlink or raw sockets, can be used with libuv. Added this
information to the documentation.
Fixes the following warning:
include/uv.h:236:30: warning: type qualifiers ignored on function
return type [-Wignored-qualifiers]
UV_EXTERN const unsigned int uv_version(void);
Generate the members of the uv_any_handle and uv_any_req unions with
the UV_HANDLE_TYPE_MAP and UV_REQ_TYPE_MAP macros. Eases maintenance
when new handle or request types are added.
Inverts the meaning of the 'enable' argument. Before, it actually set
the UV_TCP_SINGLE_ACCEPT flag when enable=1. Now it clears it, which is
what uv-win does and what you would expect it to do.
Make the statbuf field public. This means you no longer have to use
req->ptr - though that still works and will continue to work for the
foreseeable future.
Fixes#704.
This changes the prototype of uv_run() from:
int uv_run(uv_loop_t* loop);
To:
int uv_run(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_run_mode mode);
Where `mode` is UV_RUN_DEFAULT, UV_RUN_ONCE or UV_RUN_NOWAIT.
Fixes#683.
Allows for running the event loop in 3 modes:
* default: loop runs until the refcount drops to zero
* once: poll for events only once and block until one is handled
* nowait: poll for events only once but don't block if there are
no pending events
Bert Belder informs me the current approach where a request is immediately
cancelled, is impossible to implement on Windows.
Rework the API to always invoke the "done" callback with an UV_ECANCELED error
code.
This can be used in conjuction with uv_run_once() to poll in one thread and run
the event loop's event callbacks in another.
Useful for embedding libuv's event loop in another event loop.
You can now select to build a shared object at configure time:
$ ./gyp_uv -Dcomponent=shared_library -Dlibrary=shared_library
And build it with:
$ make -C out BUILDTYPE=Debug # or BUILDTYPE=Release
Or, if you use ninja:
$ ninja -C out/Debug
