Shutting down the server from another thread

[tommitytom]

I'm running a server in its own thread. It has no interaction with any other threads, however I would like to know if there is a way to shut down/destroy the server from my main thread

You cannot shut down the server from another thread but you can Loop::defer the shutting down from any thread:

// From the thread where the loop runs we get and store the loop ptr
Loop *loopToShutdown = Loop::get();

// Loop * is directly castable to us_loop_t *

// From any thread
loopToShutdown->defer([]() {
  us_listen_socket_close(...)
});
