I am not familiar with libuv but I took a look at your example. It looks
similar to the example here:
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/multi-uv.html
Two things about the curl example:
First in start_timeout() it calls uv_timer_start() which expects a
uv_timer_cb callback:
UV_EXTERN int uv_timer_start(uv_timer_t* handle,
uv_timer_cb cb,
uint64_t timeout,
uint64_t repeat);
typedef void (*uv_timer_cb)(uv_timer_t* handle);
Notice the callback doesn't receive a status so the definition should
probably be changed from:
void on_timeout(uv_timer_t *req, int status)
to
void on_timeout(uv_timer_t *req)
Second start_timeout() should return int, 0 in this case if I'm getting
libuv and reading this right:
http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_multi_setopt.html#CURLMOPTTIMERFUNCTION
So from:
void start_timeout(CURLM *multi, long timeout_ms, void *userp)
to
int start_timeout(CURLM *multi, long timeout_ms, void *userp)
and return 0
I ran that (modified) example instead of your example just to rule out
any problem in your example and the results are the same. It looks as
though there's always a final call made, here is the stack. I am on
Windows 7 x64 using master for both curl and libuv in VS2010.

140 in progress.c:
rc = Curl_pgrsUpdate(conn); /* the final (forced) update */
Doesn't seem like a bug to me to have a final update although the manual
says:
Returning a non-zero value from this callback will cause libcurl to
abort the transfer and return CURLE_ABORTED_BY_CALLBACK.
That implies to me at least that a progress function would not be called
again if it aborts. If it's going to be called again the documentation
should be clarified and maybe there is a workaround like something you
can pass in for userp, int already_aborted or something. On the other
hand if the curl behavior is going to be changed I can't imagine most
devs would be depending on a final forced update after their progress
function aborts since the manual doesn't imply or specify it. Really I
don't know though that's a question best left for others to answer.
