Note that ev_async_pending is not documented to be call-able from another
thread than the one that runs the event loop, so you shouldn't call it to
see anything, because it does not do any kind of synchronisation.

Yeah, there's something missing: a description of the problem that you
perceive that needs a solution, because so far, you haven't mentioned
anything that needs a solution :)

Everytime you access a shared resource from multiple threads you need a
mutex (or another form of synchronisation), so yes, you need a mutex there
too.
Literally the only call which is documented to be safe to call from
another thread is ev_async_send.

There is no such requirement actually. It makes no sense for ev_break,
and is of limited use for ev_loop_destroy. When a loop gets destroyed,
it forgets about all watchers registered with it. Some watchers such as
signal watchers should be stopped though, as they also affect the process
state in other ways.

No - libev doesn't internally keep track of all watchers.

I frankly think you shouldn't even consider setjmp/longjmp for loop exit
unless you already know quite well how to do it, but basically, youc all
setjmp before ev_run, and in a watcher callback, you longjmp.
