Yes. libhv runs. Argusic installed and launched it on a clean machine in 4 minutes, hitting 0 errors on the way, and recorded the session.

How did Argusic test libhv?

On a fresh, disposable machine, with every command recorded and the repository pinned at commit 62f1292b5735. One attempt is recorded, and the full method is on the methodology page.

What did it cost to test libhv?

The run that produced this verdict cost $0.03: real compute and model cost, not a list price per million tokens. It is recorded on that run's page.

How long does libhv take to install?

3.5 minutes in the run that decided this verdict, from a clean machine to a running state. That is one measured attempt, not an average.

Does libhv need a GPU?

Not to start. Argusic reached a running state on a machine with no GPU.

What goes wrong when installing libhv?

Nothing did, in the recorded run: zero errors between clone and running.

Where is the evidence for libhv?

The recorded run is on this page, each linking to its full log and terminal recording, stored with a sha256 fingerprint so it cannot be quietly altered.

libhv

🔥 比libevent/libuv/asio更易用的网络库。A c/c++ network library for developing TCP/UDP/SSL/HTTP/WebSocket/MQTT/Redis client/server.

Runssource: GitHub homepageCBSD-3-Clausecommit 62f1292b5735

C, BSD-3-Clause licensed. The project labels itself: curl, epoll, http client, http server, https, iocp, kcp and mqtt.

libhv runs. An Argusic agent installed it in 3.5 minutes and hit no errors on a clean machine with no GPU, and the whole session was recorded.

libhv 1.3.4 builds successfully producing libhv.so and libhv.a shared/static libraries plus 65 example/test binaries, all unit tests pass, and the httpd server serves HTTP responses verified via bin/curl returning 200 OK.
What the agent ended up with on a clean machine, in its own words. How this is measured

Measured by Argusic on a fresh machine every time. Every number links to its evidence. Argusic Score 100 of 100 (the mean of this project's run scores).

What was measured

From the run that decided this verdict. Every line is a recorded value, not an estimate.

Install time: 4 minutes
Cold machine to finish: 6 minutes
Errors hit and fixed: 0 hit, 0 fixed with no human help
How the result was proved: make check integration test: httpd process started, curl GET /ping returned HTTP 200 OK 'pong', benchmark reported 590536 requests in 10s
Model tokens used: 43,872
Exact commit tested: 62f1292b5735
Container image: sha256:cdd920bce783

What was not measured

The other half, so you can see exactly how far this evidence goes. A gap is printed as a gap and never filled in.

Peak GPU memory: this ran on a CPU machine, so there was no GPU to sample
Behaviour over a long run: each attempt uses the smallest documented settings and a fixed time budget, so this measures whether it runs, not how it holds up under load

How it was tested

One agent, one container, no human help. It installs the project the way its own documentation says to, runs it, and fixes what breaks. Everything below is recorded as it happened: the terminal session, the log and the exact commit. The full method.

Strengths and limits

Measured facts, not opinions. How this is written.

What went well

Reached a running state on a clean machine, with the session recorded.
Installed in 3.5 minutes.
Nothing broke on the way: zero errors between clone and running.
Ran without a GPU, so it does not need one to start.
Licensed BSD-3-Clause, as reported by its host.

What did not, or is not known

Measured once so far. A single attempt shows it can run, not that it runs reliably.

What it is a reasonable choice for

Trying it on a laptop or a small server: it reached a running state without a GPU.
A quick evaluation: it was running 3.5 minutes after the clone.
Following its own README: the documented path worked with nothing to fix.

Also tested, in the same area

Every one of these was installed and run by Argusic on a clean machine. Nothing appears here that was not tested.
