I have a dll where I am considering to use libuv. That's in Sciter Engine
<https://sciter.com/> if that matters ( think of Electron but in embeddable
DLL )
That dll is able to create windows so work in GUI thread context but it has
no access to main() / WinMain, etc. of host application.
So there is no place for me to put uv_run() call in its Node.js form.
Instead I am thinking about using GUI timers:
bool gui_timer_callback()
{
uv_run(UV_RUN_NOWAIT);
if( uv_loop_alive() )
request_gui_timer(20ms, gui_timer_callback);
}
The only question for me is to detect the moment when something has been
added to the loop.
Some callback function attached to the uv_loop_s that gets invoked when
uv_loop_alive()
transitions from false to true.
In that callback I can start my poll timer:
void uv_alive_callback(loop) {
request_gui_timer(20ms, gui_timer_callback); // initialize
}
this will allow me to request timer events only something is in uv_loop_t
tasks lists.
Any idea of how to do it properly?
