Memory usage with libtuv on iotjs is described here and compared to libuv.

runtime memory usage compare with libuv running iotjs

1) how to build

1-1) with libuv

./tools/build.py --buildtype=release --nochecktest 

1-2) with libtuv

./tools/build.py --buildtype=release --nochecktest --tuv

2) memory usage measurement with valgrind running test httpserver

valgrind ./build/i686-linux/release/iotjs/iotjs ./test/run_pass/test_httpserver.js

482,669 vs 481,645 = 1,024 bytes saved

binary size

1) build

./tools/build.py --buildtype=release --nochecktest --target-arch=arm --target-os=linux
./tools/build.py --buildtype=release --nochecktest --target-arch=arm --target-os=linux --tuv

2) binary size in i686-linux

3) binary size in arm-linux

libuv vs libtuv itself

1) use tuvtester as an application to compare.

2) codes changes to make both libuv.a and libtuv.a interchangeable.

2-1) as libtuv uses c++ compiler, wrap all codes with

extern "C" {
...
}

2-2) for libuv, give libuv.a by changing tuvtest.cmake file. use file from iotjs build.

target_link_libraries(${TUVTESTNAME} LINK_PUBLIC
                      #${TARGETLIBNAME}
                      "/(absolute path to libuv)/libuv.a"
                      ${TUV_LINK_LIBS})

2-3) some functions that does not exist in libuv. add this bottom of in runner_main.cpp

#if 1

#define uv__handle_deinit(h)                                                  \
  do {                                                                        \
    QUEUE_REMOVE(&(h)->handle_queue);                                         \
    QUEUE_INIT(&(h)->handle_queue);                                           \
  }                                                                           \
  while (0)

void uv_deinit(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_handle_t* handle) {
  QUEUE* q;
  uv_handle_t* h;

  QUEUE_FOREACH(q, &loop->handles_queue) {
    h = QUEUE_DATA(q, uv_handle_t, handle_queue);
    if (h == handle) {
      uv__handle_deinit(handle);
      break;
    }
  }
}

#endif

2-4) remove test codes that does not run with libuv, tested codes are like this in runner_list.h

#define TEST_LIST_ALL(TE)                                                     \
