multi-threaded udp server (uv_write2+uv_udp_t)

[FelipeLema]

hey, there

I'm building up a UDP server using libuv that uses threads to answer. I could only get pieces of code (single-threaded UDP server, using work queues...), though nothing self-contained with this premise.

I also found a recommendation of modifying the test/benchmark-multi-accept.c code, which is what I'm currently working on.

However, I got to the part where uv_write2 is called and is supposed to receive a uv_stream_t* casted from a uv_tcp_t*. I'm currently using uv_udp_t so I don't know if it makes sense to cast it to uv_stream_t*. If it doesn't correspond, how/what should I give to the worker threads to respond to UDP packages arriving?

I read in the docs that UDP sockets cannot be passed to threads using pipes... am I reading correctly?
