The proton reactor provides a complete solution for integrating foreign IO into a single threaded proton event loop. This is useful in situations where proton is being used in isolation, there is no other IO handling framework available and everything is single threaded.
However often that is not going to be the case. There are many existing C and C++ libraries for managing polling of file descriptors and dispatching of work, and most server applications that might want to embed proton already have their own frameworks. So I'm thinking about how we can make integrating proton into an existing (possibly multi-threaded) framework easier. I think all it requires is a few simple functions to pull data out of a file descriptor as events and push data back into a file descriptor, and make this easier than directly using the collector and transport. I've done it in Go already but I think it could be captured in C and C++ as well. Anyone already done something like this?
