Hi guys! I have a suggestion for v2:
To change the uv_async_send() to contain a queue inside it so we don't need to implement it in our code. In this way we could just call uv_async_send() and the callback would be fired in the main (or other) event loop with the dequeued pointer from the queue. I guess it would be much easier for the libuv users as we would not have to care about creating a queue, using mutexes and even about the coalescing of calls. All this could be handled automatically by libuv. What do you think about this? Maybe in the future it could even have a lock-free approach to this instead of using a mutex to avoid deadlocks, using *lib*lfds.org or other library (Well, I know this is a dangerous zone. We can just use mutexes for now). Also, if the queue has a limited size and it is full then function should either block until succeeded or return an error. What is better, let it the way it is or make it easier to use? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "libuv" group.
