Returns the platform specific file descriptor for handles that are
backed by one. The datatype is abstracted as uv_os_fd_t, which maps to
int on Unices and HANDLE on Windows.
Users can use this function to set specific socket options, for example,
in a non portable way.
This function is essentially a shotgun, you better be careful with
whatever you do with it, don't blame me if you used it to get the fd of
a stream, close it yourself and expect things to Just Work.
Support all possible types on Unix, and files, directories and links on
Windows. Some systems (hello SunOS!) don't have the d_type field on struct
dirent, so mark them as UV_DIRENT_UNKNOWN.
Introduce:
int uv_fs_readdir_next(uv_fs_t* req, uv_dirent_t* ent);
`uv_fs_readdir()` is not returning a file names list in `req->ptr`
anymore, the proper way to gather them is to call `uv_fs_readdir_next()`
in a callback.
This implements locking around the blocking call to ReadFile to get
around a Windows kernel bug where a blocking ReadFile operation on a
stream can deadlock the thread. This allows uv_read_stop to immediately
cancel a pending IO operation, and allows uv_pipe_getsockname to
"pause" any pending read (from libuv) while it retrieves the
sockname information.
If unsupported by the OS (pre-Vista), this reverts to the old
(e.g. deadlock-prone) behavior
Closes#1313
This is the libuv side of the fix for Node's cluster module on Windows.
https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/7691
Windows and Unix return certain socket errors (i.e. EADDRINUSE) at
different times: bind on Windows, and listen on Unix.
In an effort to hide this difference, libuv on Windows stores such
errors in the bind_error field of uv_tcp_t, to defer raising it at
listen time.
This worked fine except for the case in which a socket is shared in
a Node cluster and a bind error occurs.
A previous attempt to fix this (
d1e6be14603da36fe00e
) was flawed becaused in an attempt to relay the error at the JS level
it caused the master to start accepting connections.
With this new approach, libuv itself is relaying the bind errors,
providing for a uniform behavior of uv_tcp_listen.
Introduce `int uv_pipe_pending_count(uv_pipe_t*)` and
`uv_handle_type uv_pipe_pending_type(uv_pipe_t*)`. They should be
used in IPC pipe's read cb to accept incoming handles:
int count = uv_pipe_pending_count(pipe);
int i;
for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
uv_handle_type type = uv_pipe_pending_type(pipe);
/* ... */
uv_accept(...);
}
This improves API consistency with uv_read and uv_write and may
improve efficiency for some uses. Vectored IO is emulated when the
requisite system calls are unavailable.

If spawning a process fails due to an exec() failure (but it succeeded
in forking), then this should be considered a spawn failure instead of
an asynchronous termination of the process. This allows to check for
common exec() failure conditions such as a bad path quickly instead of
having to rely on keeping track of the async callback.
Additionally, the meaning of the two fields returned in the callback are
now exactly what they advertise to be. The process exit argument is not
one of two values depending on what happened to the child.
Fixes#978.
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.
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 changes uv-win to use the new uv_req subclasses.
It gets rid of the uv_req.flags field. There used to be only request flag
(UV_REQ_PENDING), and it was mostly obsolete; it only had a real purpose for
internal uv_read requests. Now we'll use the UV_HANDLE_READ_PENDING flag on
the handle instead.
This patch also simplifies the accept logic for named pipes on windows. We
no longer have a separate struct to store information about established
connections. Instead we just carry over the windows HANDLE from the accept
request to the client handle in uv_pipe_accept().
