答案是你通常希望通过将你的工作提交到 uv 事件队列来使用 Nodejs 管理的后台线程,然后让 nodejs 操心如何创建和管理线程。
下面是 node.js v0.10 手册中缺少的样板示例。
struct Baton
{
// we need this structure to interact with the uv
// the uv_work_t must be the initial element and should store
// the callback function to be useful, but the rest
// is user defined depending on what is needed to actually do the work.
uv_work_t request;
v8::Persistent<v8::Function> callback;
// Add more elements to the structure as needed
int countdown;
};
static void AsyncTestWork (uv_work_t* req);
static void AsyncTestAfter(uv_work_t* req,int status);
static Handle<Value> AsyncTestPrep(const Arguments& args)
{
HandleScope scope;
if (args.Length() != 1) {
ThrowException(Exception::TypeError(String::New("Wrong number of arguments -- needs (callback)")));
return scope.Close(Undefined());
}
if (!args[0]->IsFunction()) {
ThrowException(Exception::TypeError(String::New("Wrong type of arguments -- needs (callback)")));
return scope.Close(Undefined());
}

Baton* baton = new Baton();

baton->callback = v8::Persistent<v8::Function>::New(callback);
baton->countdown = 3;
uv_queue_work(uv_default_loop(), &baton->request, AsyncTestWork, AsyncTestAfter);
return scope.Close(v8::Undefined());
}
static void AsyncTestWork (uv_work_t* req)
{
// This method will run in a seperate thread where you can do
// your blocking background work.
// In this function, you cannot under any circumstances access any V8/node js
// valiables -- all data and memory needed, MUSt be in the Baton structure
Baton* baton = static_cast<Baton*>(req->data);
sleep(6); // some fictional work, delaying the return....
baton->countdown -= 1; // my actual work in this
}
static void AsyncTestAfter(uv_work_t* req,int status)
{
// This is what is called after the 'Work' is done, you can now move any data from
// Baton to the V8/Nodejs space and invoke call back functions
Baton* baton = static_cast<Baton*>(req->data);

// Call back to the JS function, you can make as many/few callbacks
// as you need, they just go on the event loop queue for now.

// function just (exactly) which is probably what you want
// to do to avoid confusing your users if you make a public api

}
if (baton->countdown > 0) {
// resubmit the worker for yet more work
uv_queue_work(uv_default_loop(), &baton->request, AsyncTestWork, AsyncTestAfter);
} else {
// we are finished, clean up and be done
baton->callback.Dispose();
delete baton;
}
}
void init(Handle<Object> exports)

FunctionTemplate::New(AsyncTestPrep)->GetFunction());
