[uv_async_send] Not executed in main loop?

[Thomas Barusseau]

Hello,

I'm not sure this is the right group to post in since I'm relying heavily on

libuv and nan, although everything works on v8, so...

I'm basically using a node function callback (in this case, process.emit)

in C++ code. Whenever the C++ callback method is called, I call the node

function with the appropriate arguments.

Here is the code I'm running, and it works fine :

However, one things bothers me, and it's specifically about the `process.emit`

method. I feel like the function called by uv_async_send isn't being executed

in node's main event loop. I think this because when running this code in node,

the callback I set at line 36 is never called.

If I replace "process.emit" by "console.log", it prints my arguments just fine.

The fact that "process.emit" will only be reacted to by listeners of the same

event loop is what makes me think that the work sent by uv_async_send isn't

being run in the main loop.

Could you confirm this and help me fix this? Thanks in advance,

and again, sorry if it's not posted in the right group.
