how to choose between libevent and libuv?
I need to transfer data between processes, and I have a local server process and multiple clients process, they may send data and receive data at the same time. The program will run in both Linux and Windows, so I prefer to use the third-party library rather than the native api. Previously I used Boost::asio, however I found that asio works in proactor mode, I hope that the server will be notified only and no callback will be invoked, which means it works in Reactor mode. Hence I decide to change to libuv, or libevent, could anyone give me some advice according to current status?
