Only these functions will trigger an implicit binding of a UDP handle:
- uv_udp_send
- uv_udp_recv_start
- uv_udp_set_membership
All other functions will return UV_EBADF in case the socket was not
bound.
Note: currently the socket is created and bound at the same time. This
may change in the future.
Add UV_UDP_REUSEADDR flag instead, which can be passed to uv_udp_bind.
If the udp handle is unbound when uv_udp_set_memberhsip or
uv_udp_set_multicast_interface is called, the handle will be bound with
UV_UDP_REUSEADDR set.
Passing or returning structs as values makes life hard for people that
work with libuv through a foreign function interface. Switch to a
pointer-based approach.

Make it possible for the libuv user to handle out of memory conditions
gracefully. When alloc_cb() returns a buffer with len==0, call the read
or recv callback with nread=UV_ENOBUFS. It's up to the user to stop or
close the handle.
Fixes#752.
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.
This patch makes uv_udp_set_socket responsible for setting the
UV_HANDLE_IPV6 flag. It also fixes the problem that uv_udp_open would
never set this flag at all.
In addition, this patch fixes some minor style issues.
This commit changes how the event loop determines if it needs to stay alive.
Previously, an internal counter was increased whenever a handle got created
and decreased again when the handle was closed.
While conceptually simple, it turned out hard to work with: you often want
to keep the event loop alive only if the handle is actually doing something.
Stopped or inactive handles were a frequent source of hanging event loops.
That's why this commit changes the reference counting scheme to a model where
a handle only references the event loop when it's active. 'Active' means
different things for different handle types, e.g.:
* timers: ticking
* sockets: reading, writing or listening
* processes: always active (for now, subject to change)
* idle, check, prepare: only active when started
This commit also changes how the uv_ref() and uv_unref() functions work: they
now operate on the level of individual handles, not the whole event loop.
The Windows implementation was done by Bert Belder.
