Does uvw is thread-safe? #254

Closed pengweichu closed 2 years ago

pengweichu commented 3 years ago

Hello, I'm working on a TCP/UDP client that will send mass messages to the server from numerous threads. Is the uvw thread-safe?

I see the test folder there has an example for AsyncHandle, so if use the TCPHandle rather than AsyncHandle, the uvw will work synchronously?

Thanks

This doesn't depend on uvw, I'm sorry. Whatever the answer, it also can change any time without us noticing it. The library is just a wrapper around libuv and forwards everything to the underlying library. I strongly suggest to refer to the libuv documentation for more details.

Thanks, since I have never used the libuv before, only one question if you can help: if use the TCPHandle rather than AyncHandle, then the write is Synchronous or Asynchronous?

All operations are async by default. Some of them have the Sync version (e.g., FileReq::writeSync)

I close this since all questions have been answered and there is nothing to do in uvw. 👍
