create async loops

[adrai]

I want to execute the NanAsyncWorker again after HandleOKCallback, to do a async loop.
For example to read from a device ;-)

How would you recommend to do that? Sorry I'm not really good in C++... :-(

PS. thanks for nan, it's cool...

So, the worker is deleted as a result of uv_queue_work coming back, in the NanAsyncExecuteComplete function. What you could do is not use NanAsyncExecuteWorker() but call uv_queue_work() directly yourself to re-queue your worker and ensure it's not deleted and the callback handle disposed. It shouldn't be too hard: https://github.com/rvagg/nan/blob/da843e30c8197a9c9c9927b510f3ca2da7b29172/nan.h#L335

But, you might want to reconsider what you're doing, perhaps you want your JS code to be triggering the re-runs rather than having the C++ side dictating when the loops occur. Another alternative is to use polling, if you dare and have some kind of socket to react to, like the zmq module does: https://github.com/JustinTulloss/zeromq.node/blob/master/binding.cc#L355 (and I do this in node-libssh too but it's much cleaner in the zmmq one).

Thanks @rvagg :-)
I solved it this way: https://github.com/KABA-CCEAC/node-ftdi/blob/master/src/ftdi_device.cc#L166
