I have not written any C addons, but I do know that EventEmitter has been removed from the C side of node.
a tight wrapper based on callbacks, and then wrap that with a Stream api on the js side is indeed how node does it. reading through github.com/joyent/node/blob/master/lib/fs.js should be helpful. there is quite a bit to writing a Stream that works well. I am developing a Stream spec here https://gist.github.com/2850882 I'm just building it from studying stream.js, reading code in node.js core streams. cheers, Dominic On Wed, Jun 27, 2012 at 2:40 AM, Dan Søndergaard <dan1...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to write my first node addon (I have no previous experience with > C++ whatsoever).
