Tested most of my compilation in the previous patch on NodeJS
and extracted the patches from there. This patch ensures libuv
will be capable of building standalone as well, both with gyp
and Makefiles.
Build documentation was added to the README.md file.
Some tests are failing, and I have not heavily investigated
the reasons. The failures are generally on errors, and are
likely related to differences between fully POSIX-compatible
systems and android.
We use GetQueuedCompletionStatus(Ex) to sleep the thread until the next
timer expires (provided that no other events happen before that).
However after waking up from a sleep the GetTickCount() return value may
not immediately reflect that some time has passed. This happens because
gqcs can sometimes sleep for periods shorter than the GetTickCount clock
resulution. This patch changes time tracking so the amount of time
waited by gqcs is taken into account.
This has the following advantages:
* Excessive loop iterations are avoided.
* Small timeouts are fired more precisely.
* The `loop-stop` test that used to be flaky on Windows now passes
consistently.
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.
kqueue(2) on osx doesn't work (emits EINVAL error) with specific fds
(i.e. /dev/tty, /dev/null, etc). When given such descriptors - start
select(2) watcher thread that will emit io events.
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.
