Cannot install on windows

[axkibe]

I liked node sleep for my debugging needs to simply simulate high load on Linux and OSX but on windows I cannot install.

I don't think it's possible to build native modules for nodejs on windows. At least I couldn't find a way to do it.

I just pushed a new version to github and npm that will fall back to a while loop on windows.

Please let me know if it works for you?

Hi Erik, you can now build native modules for Windows.
Thanks for this code, saves me a little time in implementing myself.

[erikdubbelboer]

I see you forked my repository. Are you going to implement the native Windows module? I might try to implement it when I have some time for it in a couple of weeks.

Hi Erik,

I did implement minor changes, but realised that a blocking Sleep was not what I needed.
The fork will be removed so I’ve included changes below that you can incorporate, I don’t want to maintain it.

All I did was add #ifdef _WIN32 checks and <windows.h> and call Sleep instead of sleep. Worked great.

Used node-gyp and created a build.gyp file as well, so build for each environment you want to support and place each .node
file in specific platform directory for a binary ready NPM module. I followed this approach from the Fibers module.

// index.js
var os = require('os');
try {
switch (os.platform() )
{
case "win32":
module.exports = require('./win32/sleep');
break;
}
} catch (e) {
}
if (!module.exports)
{
module.exports = {
sleep: function(s) {
var e = new Date().getTime() + (s);

  while (new Date().getTime() <= e) {
  }
},

usleep: function(s) {
  var e = new Date().getTime() + (s);

  while (new Date().getTime() <= e) {
    ;
  }
}

}
}

// build.gyp
{
'targets': [
{
'target_name': 'node_sleep',
'sources': [ 'sleep.cc' ]
}
]
}

// sleep.cc

#define BUILDING_NODE_EXTENSION

#include <v8.h>
#include <node.h>

#ifdef _WIN32
#include <windows.h>
#else
#include <unistd.h>
#endif

using namespace v8;
using namespace node;

Handle Sleep(const Arguments& args) {
HandleScope scope;

if (args.Length() < 1 || !args[0]->IsUint32()) {
return ThrowException(Exception::TypeError(String::New("Expected number of seconds")));
}

#ifdef _WIN32
Sleep(args[0]->Uint32Value());
#else
sleep(args[0]->Uint32Value());
#endif
return scope.Close(Undefined());
}

Handle USleep(const Arguments& args) {
HandleScope scope;

if (args.Length() < 1 || !args[0]->IsUint32()) {
return ThrowException(Exception::TypeError(String::New("Expected number of micro")));
}

#ifdef _WIN32
Sleep(args[0]->Uint32Value());
#else
usleep(args[0]->Uint32Value());
#endif

return scope.Close(Undefined());
}

extern "C"
{

void InitAll(Handle target) {
NODE_SET_METHOD(target, "sleep", Sleep);
NODE_SET_METHOD(target, "usleep", USleep);
}

NODE_MODULE(sleep, InitAll)
}

Thanks I'll add this when I have some time.
