When the supplied buffer is not big enough and UV_ENOBUFS is
returned, hint the user about the required size by setting
the len paramemeter to the required value.
Applies to:
- uv_pipe_getsockname
- uv_fs_event_getpath
- uv_fs_poll_getpath
This commit changes the libuv API to return error codes directly rather
than storing them in a loop-global field.
A code snippet like this one:
if (uv_foo(loop) < 0) {
uv_err_t err = uv_last_error(loop);
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", uv_strerror(err));
}
Should be rewritten like this:
int err = uv_foo(loop);
if (err < 0)
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", uv_strerror(err));
The rationale for this change is that it should make creating bindings
for other languages a lot easier: dealing with struct return values is
painful with most FFIs and often downright buggy.
Make the statbuf field public. This means you no longer have to use
req->ptr - though that still works and will continue to work for the
foreseeable future.
Fixes#704.
`#if FOO` (where FOO is undefined) is a legal construct in C89 and C99
but gcc, clang and sparse complain loudly about it at higher warning
levels.
Squelch those warnings. Makes the code more consistent as well.
uv_fs_poll_t has an embedded uv_timer_t handle that got closed at a time when
the memory of the encapsulating handle might already have been deallocated.
Solve that by moving the poller's state into a structure that is allocated on
the heap and can be freed independently.
* the callback gets called only once on error, not repeatedly...
* ...unless the error reason changes from e.g. UV_ENOENT to UV_EACCES
* the callback receives pointers to uv_statbuf_t objects so it can inspect what
changed
