[WIP] LibUvLoop: Add new LibUvLoop (unofficial ext-libuv)

[steverhoades]

This event loop is currently passing on a debian system with PHP 5.6 and php-uv available here https://github.com/steverhoades/php-uv/tree/libuv-1.0

There are still some segfault issues with the php-uv extension that I am trying to fix.

All tests are now passing, what else is needed to get this merged?

@steverhoades this is awesome news :D! Got two small things: So I'm missing an ext-uv in composer.json, not sure if it should point to your repo or another? Another thing is a mention about the UV event loop in the readme file 👍

[steverhoades]

@WyriHaximus I'll get that updated it should now point to bwoebi's php-uv fork as his fork is being actively maintained. The other consideration that I just thought of is that this version of php-uv only supports PHP 7. We could do a version check for the time being. I'll take a look at the extension and see what effort would be required to port a version for PHP 5 -

[WyriHaximus]

@steverhoades Having at for PHP7 already makes me really happy. PHP5 is a must tbh and a version check would do for now, please ping me if I can help you test PHP5 support

Unfortunately this is still marked as WIP, is there anything we can do to help this progress? 👍

Ping @steverhoades, what's the status here?

Thank you for working on this and helping push this forward! This is kind of an old PR and it looks like #112 is the most up to date version of this feature, so I'm closing this one in favor of the newer PR This should help us focusing on shipping this in a future version 👍
