I switched over to uv_queue_work() and uv_thread_create() (depending
on NODE_VERSION_AT_LEAST as mention in this mail thread).
Still not sure about queue_work but I can still

The easiest way to deal with the uv_ref/unref() change is to use the
NODE_VERSION_AT_LEAST macro from node_version.h. This is what I did for
node-ffi:

It might be worth mentioning that in v0.7 (unstable), and soon in v0.8
(stable), the signatures of uv_ref() and uv_unref() have changed.
Old:
- uv_ref(uv_loop_t *loop)
- uv_unref(uv_loop_t *loop)
New:
- uv_ref(uv_handle_t *handle)
- uv_unref(uv_handle_t *handle)
That means you can't really use
There's good slides on doing it here:

I don't think you need a "proper" way of creating threads -- the only thing
you can't do is have the thread access the v8 runtime since js is
single-threaded. You can use uv_queue_work and just have the thread block
Hey guys,
I'm quite a beginner at C++ but I still try to create a node addon in order
to use a c++ library in node.
I got it working partially but I have a few problems and questions:
1. The library I'm using will stay during the whole life of the node
process and needs to run in an own thread.
