uv_accept in one thread and uv_read_start from other thread

[tigranbs]

Hi I'm trying to develop network application with multithreaded network read write requirement.
I've implemented a lot with libuv, but now I can't find any resource to solve multithreaded issue.

I have thread A which is running only server binded socket and I want to use it only for accepting connections, and after having connection accepted I want to start reading from thread B which is running another libuv loop.
So the point is to have 1 loop just for accepting connections and another loop just for reading data from that connections.

Is there a way to do that ? (even by hacking something :) )

    // Accept connection
    if(uv_accept(server, (uv_stream_t *)client) == 0) {

       ..................
       ..................

        // how can I call uv_read_start for a different loop ???
        int r = uv_read_start((uv_stream_t *)client, alloc_cb, on_read);
        if(r) {
            uv_close((uv_handle_t*) client, close_client);
            return;
        }

    } else {
        uv_close((uv_handle_t*) client, close_client);
    }

What you need to do is send the handle over to the other thread and start reading there. See uv_write2.
