Ben Noordhuis 65223248da unix: use ngx_queue_move when iterating over lists
Replace uses of ngx_queue_foreach when the list can get modified while
iterating over it, in particular when a callback is made into the
user's code.  This should fix a number of spurious failures that
people have been reporting.

This is a backport of commit 442b8a5 from the v1.x branch.

libuv

libuv is a new platform layer for Node. Its purpose is to abstract IOCP on Windows and epoll/kqueue/event ports/etc. on Unix systems. We intend to eventually contain all platform differences in this library.

http://nodejs.org/

Features

  • Non-blocking TCP sockets

  • Non-blocking named pipes

  • UDP

  • Timers

  • Child process spawning

  • Asynchronous DNS via uv_getaddrinfo.

  • Asynchronous file system APIs uv_fs_*

  • High resolution time uv_hrtime

  • Current executable path look up uv_exepath

  • Thread pool scheduling uv_queue_work

  • ANSI escape code controlled TTY uv_tty_t

  • File system events Currently supports inotify, ReadDirectoryChangesW and kqueue. Event ports in the near future. uv_fs_event_t

  • IPC and socket sharing between processes uv_write2

Build Instructions

For GCC (including MinGW) there are two methods building: via normal makefiles or via GYP. GYP is a meta-build system which can generate MSVS, Makefile, and XCode backends. It is best used for integration into other projects. The old system is using plain GNU Makefiles.

To build via Makefile simply execute:

make

MinGW users should run this instead:

make PLATFORM=mingw

Out-of-tree builds are supported:

make builddir_name=/path/to/builddir

To build with Visual Studio run the vcbuild.bat file which will checkout the GYP code into build/gyp and generate the uv.sln and related files.

Windows users can also build from cmd-line using msbuild. This is done by running vcbuild.bat from Visual Studio command prompt.

To have GYP generate build script for another system, make sure that you have Python 2.6 or 2.7 installed, then checkout GYP into the project tree manually:

git clone https://chromium.googlesource.com/external/gyp.git build/gyp

Unix users run

./gyp_uv.py -f make
make -C out

Macintosh users run

./gyp_uv.py -f xcode
xcodebuild -project uv.xcodeproj -configuration Release -target All

Note for UNIX users: compile your project with -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE and -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64. GYP builds take care of that automatically.

Note for Linux users: compile your project with -D_GNU_SOURCE when you include uv.h. GYP builds take care of that automatically. If you use autotools, add a AC_GNU_SOURCE declaration to your configure.ac.

Supported Platforms

Microsoft Windows operating systems since Windows XP SP2. It can be built with either Visual Studio or MinGW.

Linux 2.6 using the GCC toolchain.

MacOS using the GCC or XCode toolchain.

Solaris 121 and later using GCC toolchain.
