libnub is a small wrapper around libuv to make it possible to work with handles off the same thread running the event loop. The API can be summarized in the following points:
-
Create/dispose of threads against a specific event loop.
-
Push "work" to a child thread from the event loop thread.
-
Introduce the "event loop mutex" which will halt execution of a child thread until the event loop can be operated upon.
Look at include/nub.h.
Building only currently works on Linux. Run the following:
mkdir out
./build.sh
cd out/
make
Can also use BUILDTYPE=Debug make to perform the debug build.
Currently in a sad state, but can run what currently exists by running
out/{Debug,Release}/run-nub-tests.
