Before this commit, multiple event loops raced with each other when a
SIGCHLD signal was received. More concretely, it was possible for
event loop A to consume waitpid() events that should have been
delivered to event loop B.
This commit addresses that by doing a linear scan over the list of
child processes. An O(n) scan is not terribly efficient but the
actual performance impact is not measurable in a benchmark that spawns
rounds of several thousands instances of /bin/false. For the time
being, this patch will suffice; we can always revisit it later.
Fixes#887.
Passing or returning structs as values makes life hard for people that
work with libuv through a foreign function interface. Switch to a
pointer-based approach.
Fixes#684.
Uses the pthread_key_{create,delete} and pthread_{get,set}specific
functions on UNIX platforms, Tls{Alloc,Free} and Tls{Get,Set}Value
on Windows.
Fixes#904.
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.
Based on UNIX sockets to avoid the vagaries of FIFOs
in asynchronous mode. Currently unlinks stale sockets
before binding and cleans them up again after shutdown.
Instead of uv_shutdown, uv_write, uv_connect taking raw uv_req_t we subclass
uv_req_t into uv_shutdown_t, uv_write_t, and uv_connect_t.
uv_req_init is removed.
