couv - Coroutine based libuv wrapper library for lua

Goals

• lua and native library (not a new language or a framework)
• use coroutine yield/resume for non-blocking I/O (to avoid callback hell). Thanks for this idea to https://github.com/grrrwaaa/luauv
• to be supported on Linux, OSX, Windows and iOS.
• works on the LuaJIT 2.0, Lua 5.2.1 (It does not work on Lua 5.1.5, but it should work on Lua 5.1.5 with Coco).
• embeddable in another event loop (not tested yet).

Rules

• must be written in C89 (neither C++ nor C99) for MSVC compatibility.

Tested environments

• luajit-2.0.0-rc1 on Ubuntu 12.04.1 x86_64
• homebrew lua 5.2.1 on Mac OS X Mountain Lion
• luajit-2.0.0-rc1 on Windows XP Pro SP3 + MinGW

Build and test

make
make test

Running tests with valgrind

TODO

• Add benchmarks.
• fix errors reported by valgrind
• Implement more C/lua functions for functions in libuv.
