You need to handle synchronization yourself. I should mention that libuv does not support manipulating an event loop from more than one thread. Calling e.g. uv_run_once(loop) from alternately thread #1 and thread #2 - even with proper locking in place - won't work. That's mostly a uv-win limitation but uv-unix makes no guarantees either. You can have multiple event loops, one for each thread, however. Re: branches: no, not yet. I'm working on a couple of other features first. -- Job Board: http://jobs.nodejs.org/ Posting guidelines: https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Mailing-List-Posting-Guidelines You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "nodejs" group.
