270 | AnyEvent API. |
231 | |
271 | |
|
|
272 | AnyEvent has two additional methods that return the "current time": |
|
|
273 | |
|
|
274 | =over 4 |
|
|
275 | |
|
|
276 | =item AnyEvent->time |
|
|
277 | |
|
|
278 | This returns the "current wallclock time" as a fractional number of |
|
|
279 | seconds since the Epoch (the same thing as C<time> or C<Time::HiRes::time> |
|
|
280 | return, and the result is guaranteed to be compatible with those). |
|
|
281 | |
|
|
282 | It progresses independently of any event loop processing, i.e. each call |
|
|
283 | will check the system clock, which usually gets updated frequently. |
|
|
284 | |
|
|
285 | =item AnyEvent->now |
|
|
286 | |
|
|
287 | This also returns the "current wallclock time", but unlike C<time>, above, |
|
|
288 | this value might change only once per event loop iteration, depending on |
|
|
289 | the event loop (most return the same time as C<time>, above). This is the |
|
|
290 | time that AnyEvent's timers get scheduled against. |
|
|
291 | |
|
|
292 | I<In almost all cases (in all cases if you don't care), this is the |
|
|
293 | function to call when you want to know the current time.> |
|
|
294 | |
|
|
295 | This function is also often faster then C<< AnyEvent->time >>, and |
|
|
296 | thus the preferred method if you want some timestamp (for example, |
|
|
297 | L<AnyEvent::Handle> uses this to update it's activity timeouts). |

300 | with your timing, you can skip it without bad conscience. |
|
|
301 | |
|
|
302 | For a practical example of when these times differ, consider L<Event::Lib> |
|
|
303 | and L<EV> and the following set-up: |
|
|
304 | |
|
|
305 | The event loop is running and has just invoked one of your callback at |
|
|
306 | time=500 (assume no other callbacks delay processing). In your callback, |
|
|
307 | you wait a second by executing C<sleep 1> (blocking the process for a |
|
|
308 | second) and then (at time=501) you create a relative timer that fires |
|
|
309 | after three seconds. |
|
|
310 | |
|
|
311 | With L<Event::Lib>, C<< AnyEvent->time >> and C<< AnyEvent->now >> will |
|
|
312 | both return C<501>, because that is the current time, and the timer will |
|
|
313 | be scheduled to fire at time=504 (C<501> + C<3>). |
|
|
314 | |
|
|
315 | With L<EV>, C<< AnyEvent->time >> returns C<501> (as that is the current |
|
|
316 | time), but C<< AnyEvent->now >> returns C<500>, as that is the time the |
|
|
317 | last event processing phase started. With L<EV>, your timer gets scheduled |
|
|
318 | to run at time=503 (C<500> + C<3>). |
|
|
319 | |
|
|
320 | In one sense, L<Event::Lib> is more exact, as it uses the current time |
|
|
321 | regardless of any delays introduced by event processing. However, most |
|
|
322 | callbacks do not expect large delays in processing, so this causes a |
|
|
323 | higher drift (and a lot more system calls to get the current time). |
|
|
324 | |
|
|
325 | In another sense, L<EV> is more exact, as your timer will be scheduled at |
|
|
326 | the same time, regardless of how long event processing actually took. |
|
|
327 | |
|
|
328 | In either case, if you care (and in most cases, you don't), then you |
|
|
329 | can get whatever behaviour you want with any event loop, by taking the |
|
|
330 | difference between C<< AnyEvent->time >> and C<< AnyEvent->now >> into |
|
|
331 | account. |
|
|
332 | |
|
|
333 | =item AnyEvent->now_update |
|
|
334 | |
|
|
335 | Some event loops (such as L<EV> or L<AnyEvent::Impl::Perl>) cache |
|
|
336 | the current time for each loop iteration (see the discussion of L<< |
|
|
337 | AnyEvent->now >>, above). |
|
|
338 | |
|
|
339 | When a callback runs for a long time (or when the process sleeps), then |
|
|
340 | this "current" time will differ substantially from the real time, which |
|
|
341 | might affect timers and time-outs. |
|
|
342 | |
|
|
343 | When this is the case, you can call this method, which will update the |
|
|
344 | event loop's idea of "current time". |
|
|
345 | |
|

346 | Note that updating the time I<might> cause some events to be handled. |

|
376 | in some cases, signals will be delayed. The maximum time a signal might |
|
|
377 | be delayed is specified in C<$AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY> (default: 10 |
|
|
378 | seconds). This variable can be changed only before the first signal |

|
|

444 | =head2 IDLE WATCHERS |
|
|
445 | |
|
|
446 | Sometimes there is a need to do something, but it is not so important |
|
|
447 | to do it instantly, but only when there is nothing better to do. This |
|
|
448 | "nothing better to do" is usually defined to be "no other events need |
|
|
449 | attention by the event loop". |
|
|
450 | |
|
|
451 | Idle watchers ideally get invoked when the event loop has nothing |
|
|
452 | better to do, just before it would block the process to wait for new |
|
|
453 | events. Instead of blocking, the idle watcher is invoked. |
|
|
454 | |
|
|
455 | Most event loops unfortunately do not really support idle watchers (only |
|
|
456 | EV, Event and Glib do it in a usable fashion) - for the rest, AnyEvent |
|
|
457 | will simply call the callback "from time to time". |
|
|
458 | |
|
|
459 | Example: read lines from STDIN, but only process them when the |
|
|
460 | program is otherwise idle: |
|
|
461 | |
|
|
462 | my @lines; # read data |
|
|
463 | my $idle_w; |
|
|
464 | my $io_w = AnyEvent->io (fh => \*STDIN, poll => 'r', cb => sub { |
|
|
465 | push @lines, scalar <STDIN>; |
|
|
466 | |
|
|
467 | # start an idle watcher, if not already done |
|
|
468 | $idle_w ||= AnyEvent->idle (cb => sub { |
|
|
469 | # handle only one line, when there are lines left |
|
|
470 | if (my $line = shift @lines) { |
|
|
471 | print "handled when idle: $line"; |
|
|
472 | } else { |
|
|
473 | # otherwise disable the idle watcher again |
|
|
474 | undef $idle_w; |

300 | =head2 CONDITION VARIABLES |
479 | =head2 CONDITION VARIABLES |
301 | |
480 | |
|
|
481 | If you are familiar with some event loops you will know that all of them |
|
|
482 | require you to run some blocking "loop", "run" or similar function that |
|
|
483 | will actively watch for new events and call your callbacks. |
|
|
484 | |
|
|
485 | AnyEvent is slightly different: it expects somebody else to run the event |
|
|
486 | loop and will only block when necessary (usually when told by the user). |
|
|
487 | |
|
|
488 | The instrument to do that is called a "condition variable", so called |
|
|
489 | because they represent a condition that must become true. |
|
|
490 | |
|
|
491 | Now is probably a good time to look at the examples further below. |
|
|
492 | |
302 | Condition variables can be created by calling the C<< AnyEvent->condvar >> |
493 | Condition variables can be created by calling the C<< AnyEvent->condvar |
303 | method without any arguments. |
494 | >> method, usually without arguments. The only argument pair allowed is |
|
|
495 | C<cb>, which specifies a callback to be called when the condition variable |
|
|
496 | becomes true, with the condition variable as the first argument (but not |
|
|
497 | the results). |
304 | |
498 | |
305 | A condition variable waits for a condition - precisely that the C<< |
499 | After creation, the condition variable is "false" until it becomes "true" |
306 | ->broadcast >> method has been called. |
500 | by calling the C<send> method (or calling the condition variable as if it |
|
|
501 | were a callback, read about the caveats in the description for the C<< |
|
|
502 | ->send >> method). |
307 | |
503 | |
308 | They are very useful to signal that a condition has been fulfilled, for |
504 | Condition variables are similar to callbacks, except that you can |
|
|
505 | optionally wait for them. They can also be called merge points - points |
|
|
506 | in time where multiple outstanding events have been processed. And yet |
|
|
507 | another way to call them is transactions - each condition variable can be |
|
|
508 | used to represent a transaction, which finishes at some point and delivers |
|
|
509 | a result. |
|
|
510 | |
|
|
511 | Condition variables are very useful to signal that something has finished, |
309 | example, if you write a module that does asynchronous http requests, |
512 | for example, if you write a module that does asynchronous http requests, |
310 | then a condition variable would be the ideal candidate to signal the |

311 | availability of results. |
514 | availability of results. The user can either act when the callback is |
|
|
515 | called or can synchronously C<< ->recv >> for the results. |
312 | |
516 | |
313 | You can also use condition variables to block your main program until |
517 | You can also use them to simulate traditional event loops - for example, |
314 | an event occurs - for example, you could C<< ->wait >> in your main |
518 | you can block your main program until an event occurs - for example, you |
315 | program until the user clicks the Quit button in your app, which would C<< |

316 | ->broadcast >> the "quit" event. |
520 | button of your app, which would C<< ->send >> the "quit" event. |
317 | |
521 | |
318 | Note that condition variables recurse into the event loop - if you have |
522 | Note that condition variables recurse into the event loop - if you have |
319 | two pirces of code that call C<< ->wait >> in a round-robbin fashion, you |

320 | lose. Therefore, condition variables are good to export to your caller, but |

526 | as this asks for trouble. |
323 | |
527 | |
324 | This object has two methods: |
528 | Condition variables are represented by hash refs in perl, and the keys |
|
|
529 | used by AnyEvent itself are all named C<_ae_XXX> to make subclassing |
|
|
530 | easy (it is often useful to build your own transaction class on top of |
|
|
531 | AnyEvent). To subclass, use C<AnyEvent::CondVar> as base class and call |
|
|
532 | it's C<new> method in your own C<new> method. |
325 | |
533 | |
326 | =over 4 |
534 | There are two "sides" to a condition variable - the "producer side" which |
|
|
535 | eventually calls C<< -> send >>, and the "consumer side", which waits |
|
|
536 | for the send to occur. |
327 | |
537 | |
328 | =item $cv->wait |
538 | Example: wait for a timer. |
329 | |
|
|
330 | Wait (blocking if necessary) until the C<< ->broadcast >> method has been |
|
|
331 | called on c<$cv>, while servicing other watchers normally. |
|
|
332 | |
|
|
333 | You can only wait once on a condition - additional calls will return |
|
|
334 | immediately. |
|
|
335 | |
|
|
336 | Not all event models support a blocking wait - some die in that case |
|
|
337 | (programs might want to do that to stay interactive), so I<if you are |
|
|
338 | using this from a module, never require a blocking wait>, but let the |
|
|
339 | caller decide whether the call will block or not (for example, by coupling |
|
|
340 | condition variables with some kind of request results and supporting |
|
|
341 | callbacks so the caller knows that getting the result will not block, |
|
|
342 | while still suppporting blocking waits if the caller so desires). |
|
|
343 | |
|
|
344 | Another reason I<never> to C<< ->wait >> in a module is that you cannot |
|
|
345 | sensibly have two C<< ->wait >>'s in parallel, as that would require |
|
|
346 | multiple interpreters or coroutines/threads, none of which C<AnyEvent> |
|
|
347 | can supply (the coroutine-aware backends L<AnyEvent::Impl::CoroEV> and |
|
|
348 | L<AnyEvent::Impl::CoroEvent> explicitly support concurrent C<< ->wait >>'s |
|
|
349 | from different coroutines, however). |
|
|
350 | |
|
|
351 | =item $cv->broadcast |
|
|
352 | |
|
|
353 | Flag the condition as ready - a running C<< ->wait >> and all further |
|
|
354 | calls to C<wait> will (eventually) return after this method has been |
|
|
355 | called. If nobody is waiting the broadcast will be remembered.. |

557 | variables are also callable directly. |

|
|
562 | |
|
|
563 | Example: Imagine an API that returns a condvar and doesn't support |
|
|
564 | callbacks. This is how you make a synchronous call, for example from |
|
|

580 | =head3 METHODS FOR PRODUCERS |
|
|
581 | |
|
|
582 | These methods should only be used by the producing side, i.e. the |
|
|
583 | code/module that eventually sends the signal. Note that it is also |
|
|
584 | the producer side which creates the condvar in most cases, but it isn't |
|
|
585 | uncommon for the consumer to create it as well. |
|
|

|
|
589 | =item $cv->send (...) |
|
|
590 | |
|
|
591 | Flag the condition as ready - a running C<< ->recv >> and all further |
|
|
592 | calls to C<recv> will (eventually) return after this method has been |
|
|
593 | called. If nobody is waiting the send will be remembered. |
|
|
594 | |
|
|
595 | If a callback has been set on the condition variable, it is called |
|
|
596 | immediately from within send. |
|
|
597 | |
|
|
598 | Any arguments passed to the C<send> call will be returned by all |
|
|
599 | future C<< ->recv >> calls. |
|
|
600 | |
|
|
601 | Condition variables are overloaded so one can call them directly (as if |
|
|
602 | they were a code reference). Calling them directly is the same as calling |
|
|
603 | C<send>. |
|
|
604 | |
|
|
605 | =item $cv->croak ($error) |
|
|
606 | |
|
|
607 | Similar to send, but causes all call's to C<< ->recv >> to invoke |
|
|
608 | C<Carp::croak> with the given error message/object/scalar. |
|
|
609 | |
|
|
610 | This can be used to signal any errors to the condition variable |
|
|
611 | user/consumer. Doing it this way instead of calling C<croak> directly |
|
|
612 | delays the error detetcion, but has the overwhelmign advantage that it |
|
|
613 | diagnoses the error at the place where the result is expected, and not |
|
|
614 | deep in some event clalback without connection to the actual code causing |
|
|
615 | the problem. |
|
|
616 | |
|
|
617 | =item $cv->begin ([group callback]) |
|
|
618 | |
|
|
619 | =item $cv->end |
|
|
620 | |
|
|
621 | These two methods can be used to combine many transactions/events into |
|
|
622 | one. For example, a function that pings many hosts in parallel might want |
|
|
623 | to use a condition variable for the whole process. |
|
|
624 | |
|
|
625 | Every call to C<< ->begin >> will increment a counter, and every call to |
|
|
626 | C<< ->end >> will decrement it. If the counter reaches C<0> in C<< ->end |
|
|
627 | >>, the (last) callback passed to C<begin> will be executed. That callback |
|
|
628 | is I<supposed> to call C<< ->send >>, but that is not required. If no |
|
|
629 | callback was set, C<send> will be called without any arguments. |
|
|
630 | |
|
|
631 | You can think of C<< $cv->send >> giving you an OR condition (one call |
|
|
632 | sends), while C<< $cv->begin >> and C<< $cv->end >> giving you an AND |
|
|
633 | condition (all C<begin> calls must be C<end>'ed before the condvar sends). |
|
|
634 | |
|
|
635 | Let's start with a simple example: you have two I/O watchers (for example, |
|
|
636 | STDOUT and STDERR for a program), and you want to wait for both streams to |
|
|
637 | close before activating a condvar: |
|
|
638 | |
|
|
639 | my $cv = AnyEvent->condvar; |
|
|
640 | |
|
|
641 | $cv->begin; # first watcher |
|
|
642 | my $w1 = AnyEvent->io (fh => $fh1, cb => sub { |
|
|
643 | defined sysread $fh1, my $buf, 4096 |
|
|
644 | or $cv->end; |
|
|
645 | }); |
|
|
646 | |
|
|
647 | $cv->begin; # second watcher |
|
|
648 | my $w2 = AnyEvent->io (fh => $fh2, cb => sub { |
|
|
649 | defined sysread $fh2, my $buf, 4096 |
|
|
650 | or $cv->end; |
|
|
651 | }); |
|
|
652 | |
|
|
653 | $cv->recv; |
|
|
654 | |
|
|
655 | This works because for every event source (EOF on file handle), there is |
|
|
656 | one call to C<begin>, so the condvar waits for all calls to C<end> before |
|
|
657 | sending. |
|
|
658 | |
|
|
659 | The ping example mentioned above is slightly more complicated, as the |
|
|
660 | there are results to be passwd back, and the number of tasks that are |
|
|
661 | begung can potentially be zero: |
|
|
662 | |
|
|
663 | my $cv = AnyEvent->condvar; |
|
|
664 | |
|
|
665 | my %result; |
|
|
666 | $cv->begin (sub { $cv->send (\%result) }); |
|
|
667 | |
|
|
668 | for my $host (@list_of_hosts) { |
|
|
669 | $cv->begin; |
|
|
670 | ping_host_then_call_callback $host, sub { |
|
|
671 | $result{$host} = ...; |
|
|
672 | $cv->end; |
|
|
673 | }; |
|
|
674 | } |
|
|
675 | |
|
|
676 | $cv->end; |
|
|
677 | |
|
|
678 | This code fragment supposedly pings a number of hosts and calls |
|
|
679 | C<send> after results for all then have have been gathered - in any |
|
|
680 | order. To achieve this, the code issues a call to C<begin> when it starts |
|
|
681 | each ping request and calls C<end> when it has received some result for |
|
|
682 | it. Since C<begin> and C<end> only maintain a counter, the order in which |
|
|
683 | results arrive is not relevant. |
|
|
684 | |
|
|
685 | There is an additional bracketing call to C<begin> and C<end> outside the |
|
|
686 | loop, which serves two important purposes: first, it sets the callback |
|
|
687 | to be called once the counter reaches C<0>, and second, it ensures that |
|
|
688 | C<send> is called even when C<no> hosts are being pinged (the loop |
|
|
689 | doesn't execute once). |
|
|
690 | |
|
|
691 | This is the general pattern when you "fan out" into multiple (but |
|
|
692 | potentially none) subrequests: use an outer C<begin>/C<end> pair to set |
|
|
693 | the callback and ensure C<end> is called at least once, and then, for each |
|
|
694 | subrequest you start, call C<begin> and for each subrequest you finish, |
|
|
695 | call C<end>. |

699 | =head3 METHODS FOR CONSUMERS |
|
|
700 | |
|
|
701 | These methods should only be used by the consuming side, i.e. the |
|
|
702 | code awaits the condition. |
|
|
703 | |
|
|
704 | =over 4 |
|
|
705 | |
|
|
706 | =item $cv->recv |
|
|
707 | |
|
|
708 | Wait (blocking if necessary) until the C<< ->send >> or C<< ->croak |
|
|
709 | >> methods have been called on c<$cv>, while servicing other watchers |
|
|
710 | normally. |
|
|
711 | |
|
|
712 | You can only wait once on a condition - additional calls are valid but |
|
|
713 | will return immediately. |
|
|
714 | |
|
|
715 | If an error condition has been set by calling C<< ->croak >>, then this |
|
|
716 | function will call C<croak>. |
|
|
717 | |
|
|
718 | In list context, all parameters passed to C<send> will be returned, |
|
|
719 | in scalar context only the first one will be returned. |
|
|
720 | |
|
|
721 | Note that doing a blocking wait in a callback is not supported by any |
|
|
722 | event loop, that is, recursive invocation of a blocking C<< ->recv |
|
|
723 | >> is not allowed, and the C<recv> call will C<croak> if such a |
|
|
724 | condition is detected. This condition can be slightly loosened by using |
|
|
725 | L<Coro::AnyEvent>, which allows you to do a blocking C<< ->recv >> from |
|
|
726 | any thread that doesn't run the event loop itself. |
|
|
727 | |
|
|
728 | Not all event models support a blocking wait - some die in that case |
|
|
729 | (programs might want to do that to stay interactive), so I<if you are |
|
|
730 | using this from a module, never require a blocking wait>. Instead, let the |
|
|
731 | caller decide whether the call will block or not (for example, by coupling |
|
|
732 | condition variables with some kind of request results and supporting |
|
|
733 | callbacks so the caller knows that getting the result will not block, |
|
|
734 | while still supporting blocking waits if the caller so desires). |
|
|
735 | |
|
|
736 | You can ensure that C<< -recv >> never blocks by setting a callback and |
|
|
737 | only calling C<< ->recv >> from within that callback (or at a later |
|
|
738 | time). This will work even when the event loop does not support blocking |
|
|
739 | waits otherwise. |
|
|
740 | |
|
|
741 | =item $bool = $cv->ready |
|
|
742 | |
|
|
743 | Returns true when the condition is "true", i.e. whether C<send> or |
|
|
744 | C<croak> have been called. |
|
|
745 | |
|
|
746 | =item $cb = $cv->cb ($cb->($cv)) |
|
|
747 | |
|
|
748 | This is a mutator function that returns the callback set and optionally |
|
|
749 | replaces it before doing so. |
|
|
750 | |
|
|
751 | The callback will be called when the condition becomes "true", i.e. when |
|
|
752 | C<send> or C<croak> are called, with the only argument being the condition |
|
|
753 | variable itself. Calling C<recv> inside the callback or at any later time |
|
|
754 | is guaranteed not to block. |

|
|
766 | EV is the preferred backend when no other event loop seems to be in |

|
767 | use. If EV is not installed, then AnyEvent will try Event, and, failing |
|
|
768 | that, will fall back to its own pure-perl implementation, which is |
|
|
769 | available everywhere as it comes with AnyEvent itself. |

778 | is created, in which case it is assumed that the application is using |
|
|
779 | them. This means that AnyEvent will automatically pick the right backend |
|
|
780 | when the main program loads an event module before anything starts to |
|
|
781 | create watchers. Nothing special needs to be done by the main program. |
|
|

|
|

|
|
790 | Qt requires the Qt::Application to be instantiated first, but will |
|
|
791 | otherwise be picked up automatically. As long as the main program |
|
|
792 | instantiates the application before any AnyEvent watchers are created, |
|
|
793 | everything should just work. |
|
|
794 | |
|
|
795 | AnyEvent::Impl::Qt based on Qt. |
|
|
796 | |
|
|
797 | Support for IO::Async can only be partial, as it is too broken and |
|
|
798 | architecturally limited to even support the AnyEvent API. It also |
|
|
799 | is the only event loop that needs the loop to be set explicitly, so |
|
|
800 | it can only be used by a main program knowing about AnyEvent. See |
|

|
806 | |
|
|
807 | Some event loops can be supported via other modules: |
|
|
808 | |
|
|
809 | There is no direct support for WxWidgets (L<Wx>) or L<Prima>. |
|
|
810 | |
|
|
811 | B<WxWidgets> has no support for watching file handles. However, you can |
|
|
812 | use WxWidgets through the POE adaptor, as POE has a Wx backend that simply |
|
|
813 | polls 20 times per second, which was considered to be too horrible to even |
|
|
814 | consider for AnyEvent. |
|
|
815 | |
|
|
816 | B<Prima> is not supported as nobody seems to be using it, but it has a POE |
|
|
817 | backend, so it can be supported through POE. |
|
|
818 | |
|
|
819 | AnyEvent knows about both L<Prima> and L<Wx>, however, and will try to |
|
|
820 | load L<POE> when detecting them, in the hope that POE will pick them up, |

|
|
859 | (C<$AnyEvent::MODEL> is set), but I<before> any watchers have been |

|
860 | created, so it is possible to e.g. patch C<@AnyEvent::ISA> or do |
|
|
861 | other initialisations - see the sources of L<AnyEvent::Strict> or |
|
|
862 | L<AnyEvent::AIO> to see how this is used. |
|
|
863 | |
|
|
864 | The most common usage is to create some global watchers, without forcing |
|
|
865 | event module detection too early, for example, L<AnyEvent::AIO> creates |
|
|
866 | and installs the global L<IO::AIO> watcher in a C<post_detect> block to |

|

|
|
870 | that automatically removes the callback again when it is destroyed. See |

|
878 | |
|
|
879 | You should check C<$AnyEvent::MODEL> before adding to this array, though: |
|
|
880 | if it is defined then the event loop has already been detected, and the |
|
|
881 | array will be ignored. |
|
|
882 | |
|

883 | Best use C<AnyEvent::post_detect { BLOCK }> when your application allows |

885 | |

886 | This variable is mainly useful for modules that can do something useful |
|
|
887 | when AnyEvent is used and thus want to know when it is initialised, but do |

934 | =head2 MAINLOOP EMULATION |
|
|
935 | |
|
|
936 | Sometimes (often for short test scripts, or even standalone programs who |
|
|
937 | only want to use AnyEvent), you do not want to run a specific event loop. |
|
|
938 | |
|
|
939 | In that case, you can use a condition variable like this: |
|
|
940 | |
|
|
941 | AnyEvent->condvar->recv; |
|
|
942 | |
|
|
943 | This has the effect of entering the event loop and looping forever. |
|
|
944 | |
|
|
945 | Note that usually your program has some exit condition, in which case |
|
|
946 | it is better to use the "traditional" approach of storing a condition |
|
|
947 | variable somewhere, waiting for it, and sending it when the program should |
|
|
948 | exit cleanly. |

1531 | =head1 ERROR AND EXCEPTION HANDLING |
|
|
1532 | |
|
|
1533 | In general, AnyEvent does not do any error handling - it relies on the |
|
|
1534 | caller to do that if required. The L<AnyEvent::Strict> module (see also |
|
|
1535 | the C<PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT> environment variable, below) provides strict |
|
|
1536 | checking of all AnyEvent methods, however, which is highly useful during |
|
|
1537 | development. |
|
|
1538 | |
|
|
1539 | As for exception handling (i.e. runtime errors and exceptions thrown while |
|
|
1540 | executing a callback), this is not only highly event-loop specific, but |
|
|
1541 | also not in any way wrapped by this module, as this is the job of the main |
|
|
1542 | program. |
|
|
1543 | |
|
|
1544 | The pure perl event loop simply re-throws the exception (usually |
|
|
1545 | within C<< condvar->recv >>), the L<Event> and L<EV> modules call C<< |
|
|
1546 | $Event/EV::DIED->() >>, L<Glib> uses C<< install_exception_handler >> and |
|
|
1547 | so on. |
|
|
1548 | |
|
|
1549 | =head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES |
|
|
1550 | |
|
|
1551 | The following environment variables are used by this module or its |
|
|
1552 | submodules. |
|
|
1553 | |
|
|
1554 | Note that AnyEvent will remove I<all> environment variables starting with |
|
|
1555 | C<PERL_ANYEVENT_> from C<%ENV> when it is loaded while taint mode is |
|
|
1556 | enabled. |
|
|
1557 | |
|
|
1558 | =over 4 |
|
|
1559 | |
|
|
1560 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> |
|
|
1561 | |
|
|
1562 | By default, AnyEvent will be completely silent except in fatal |
|
|
1563 | conditions. You can set this environment variable to make AnyEvent more |
|
|
1564 | talkative. |
|
|
1565 | |
|
|
1566 | When set to C<1> or higher, causes AnyEvent to warn about unexpected |
|
|
1567 | conditions, such as not being able to load the event model specified by |
|
|
1568 | C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>. |
|
|
1569 | |
|
|
1570 | When set to C<2> or higher, cause AnyEvent to report to STDERR which event |
|
|
1571 | model it chooses. |
|
|
1572 | |
|
|
1573 | When set to C<8> or higher, then AnyEvent will report extra information on |
|
|
1574 | which optional modules it loads and how it implements certain features. |
|
|
1575 | |
|
|
1576 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT> |
|
|
1577 | |
|
|
1578 | AnyEvent does not do much argument checking by default, as thorough |
|
|
1579 | argument checking is very costly. Setting this variable to a true value |
|
|
1580 | will cause AnyEvent to load C<AnyEvent::Strict> and then to thoroughly |
|
|
1581 | check the arguments passed to most method calls. If it finds any problems, |
|
|
1582 | it will croak. |
|
|
1583 | |
|
|
1584 | In other words, enables "strict" mode. |
|
|
1585 | |
|
|
1586 | Unlike C<use strict> (or it's modern cousin, C<< use L<common::sense> |
|
|
1587 | >>, it is definitely recommended to keep it off in production. Keeping |
|
|
1588 | C<PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT=1> in your environment while developing programs |
|
|
1589 | can be very useful, however. |
|
|
1590 | |
|
|
1591 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL> |
|
|
1592 | |
|
|
1593 | This can be used to specify the event model to be used by AnyEvent, before |
|
|
1594 | auto detection and -probing kicks in. It must be a string consisting |
|
|
1595 | entirely of ASCII letters. The string C<AnyEvent::Impl::> gets prepended |
|
|
1596 | and the resulting module name is loaded and if the load was successful, |
|
|
1597 | used as event model. If it fails to load AnyEvent will proceed with |
|
|
1598 | auto detection and -probing. |
|
|
1599 | |
|
|
1600 | This functionality might change in future versions. |
|
|
1601 | |
|
|
1602 | For example, to force the pure perl model (L<AnyEvent::Impl::Perl>) you |
|
|
1603 | could start your program like this: |
|
|
1604 | |
|
|
1605 | PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL=Perl perl ... |
|
|
1606 | |
|
|
1607 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS> |
|
|
1608 | |
|
|
1609 | Used by both L<AnyEvent::DNS> and L<AnyEvent::Socket> to determine preferences |
|
|
1610 | for IPv4 or IPv6. The default is unspecified (and might change, or be the result |
|
|
1611 | of auto probing). |
|
|
1612 | |
|
|
1613 | Must be set to a comma-separated list of protocols or address families, |
|
|
1614 | current supported: C<ipv4> and C<ipv6>. Only protocols mentioned will be |
|
|
1615 | used, and preference will be given to protocols mentioned earlier in the |
|
|
1616 | list. |
|
|
1617 | |
|
|
1618 | This variable can effectively be used for denial-of-service attacks |
|
|
1619 | against local programs (e.g. when setuid), although the impact is likely |
|
|
1620 | small, as the program has to handle conenction and other failures anyways. |
|
|
1621 | |
|
|
1622 | Examples: C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv4,ipv6> - prefer IPv4 over IPv6, |
|
|
1623 | but support both and try to use both. C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv4> |
|
|
1624 | - only support IPv4, never try to resolve or contact IPv6 |
|
|
1625 | addresses. C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv6,ipv4> support either IPv4 or |
|
|
1626 | IPv6, but prefer IPv6 over IPv4. |
|
|
1627 | |
|
|
1628 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_EDNS0> |
|
|
1629 | |
|
|
1630 | Used by L<AnyEvent::DNS> to decide whether to use the EDNS0 extension |
|
|
1631 | for DNS. This extension is generally useful to reduce DNS traffic, but |
|
|
1632 | some (broken) firewalls drop such DNS packets, which is why it is off by |
|
|
1633 | default. |
|
|
1634 | |
|
|
1635 | Setting this variable to C<1> will cause L<AnyEvent::DNS> to announce |
|
|
1636 | EDNS0 in its DNS requests. |
|
|
1637 | |
|
|
1638 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_FORKS> |
|
|
1639 | |
|
|
1640 | The maximum number of child processes that C<AnyEvent::Util::fork_call> |
|
|
1641 | will create in parallel. |
|
|
1642 | |
|
|
1643 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS> |
|
|
1644 | |
|
|
1645 | The default value for the C<max_outstanding> parameter for the default DNS |
|
|
1646 | resolver - this is the maximum number of parallel DNS requests that are |
|
|
1647 | sent to the DNS server. |
|
|
1648 | |
|
|
1649 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF> |
|
|
1650 | |
|
|
1651 | The file to use instead of F</etc/resolv.conf> (or OS-specific |
|
|
1652 | configuration) in the default resolver. When set to the empty string, no |
|
|
1653 | default config will be used. |
|
|
1654 | |
|
|
1655 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE>, C<PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH>. |
|
|
1656 | |
|
|
1657 | When neither C<ca_file> nor C<ca_path> was specified during |
|
|
1658 | L<AnyEvent::TLS> context creation, and either of these environment |
|
|
1659 | variables exist, they will be used to specify CA certificate locations |
|
|
1660 | instead of a system-dependent default. |
|
|
1661 | |
|
|
1662 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_AVOID_GUARD> and C<PERL_ANYEVENT_AVOID_ASYNC_INTERRUPT> |
|
|
1663 | |
|
|
1664 | When these are set to C<1>, then the respective modules are not |
|
|
1665 | loaded. Mostly good for testing AnyEvent itself. |

2144 | =head2 THE IO::Lambda BENCHMARK |
|
|
2145 | |
|
|
2146 | Recently I was told about the benchmark in the IO::Lambda manpage, which |
|
|
2147 | could be misinterpreted to make AnyEvent look bad. In fact, the benchmark |
|
|
2148 | simply compares IO::Lambda with POE, and IO::Lambda looks better (which |
|
|
2149 | shouldn't come as a surprise to anybody). As such, the benchmark is |
|
|
2150 | fine, and mostly shows that the AnyEvent backend from IO::Lambda isn't |
|
|
2151 | very optimal. But how would AnyEvent compare when used without the extra |
|
|
2152 | baggage? To explore this, I wrote the equivalent benchmark for AnyEvent. |
|
|
2153 | |
|
|
2154 | The benchmark itself creates an echo-server, and then, for 500 times, |
|
|
2155 | connects to the echo server, sends a line, waits for the reply, and then |
|
|
2156 | creates the next connection. This is a rather bad benchmark, as it doesn't |
|
|
2157 | test the efficiency of the framework or much non-blocking I/O, but it is a |
|
|
2158 | benchmark nevertheless. |

|
2173 | |
|
|
2174 | The benchmark is also a bit unfair (my fault): the IO::Lambda/POE |
|
|
2175 | benchmarks actually make blocking connects and use 100% blocking I/O, |
|
|
2176 | defeating the purpose of an event-based solution. All of the newly |
|
|
2177 | written AnyEvent benchmarks use 100% non-blocking connects (using |
|
|
2178 | AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_connect and the asynchronous pure perl DNS |
|
|
2179 | resolver), so AnyEvent is at a disadvantage here, as non-blocking connects |
|
|
2180 | generally require a lot more bookkeeping and event handling than blocking |
|
|
2181 | connects (which involve a single syscall only). |
|
|
2182 | |
|
|
2183 | The last AnyEvent benchmark additionally uses L<AnyEvent::Handle>, which |
|
|
2184 | offers similar expressive power as POE and IO::Lambda, using conventional |
|
|
2185 | Perl syntax. This means that both the echo server and the client are 100% |
|
|
2186 | non-blocking, further placing it at a disadvantage. |
|
|
2187 | |
|
|
2188 | As you can see, the AnyEvent + EV combination even beats the |
|
|
2189 | hand-optimised "raw sockets benchmark", while AnyEvent + its pure perl |
|
|
2190 | backend easily beats IO::Lambda and POE. |
|
|
2191 | |
|
|
2192 | And even the 100% non-blocking version written using the high-level (and |
|
|
2193 | slow :) L<AnyEvent::Handle> abstraction beats both POE and IO::Lambda by a |
|
|
2194 | large margin, even though it does all of DNS, tcp-connect and socket I/O |
|
|
2195 | in a non-blocking way. |
|
|
2196 | |
|
|
2197 | The two AnyEvent benchmarks programs can be found as F<eg/ae0.pl> and |
|
|
2198 | F<eg/ae2.pl> in the AnyEvent distribution, the remaining benchmarks are |
|
|
2199 | part of the IO::lambda distribution and were used without any changes. |

|
|
2207 | |
|
|
2208 | =item SIGCHLD |
|
|
2209 | |
|
|
2210 | A handler for C<SIGCHLD> is installed by AnyEvent's child watcher |
|
|
2211 | emulation for event loops that do not support them natively. Also, some |
|
|
2212 | event loops install a similar handler. |
|
|
2213 | |
|
|
2214 | Additionally, when AnyEvent is loaded and SIGCHLD is set to IGNORE, then |
|
|
2215 | AnyEvent will reset it to default, to avoid losing child exit statuses. |
|
|
2216 | |
|
|
2217 | =item SIGPIPE |
|
|
2218 | |
|
|
2219 | A no-op handler is installed for C<SIGPIPE> when C<$SIG{PIPE}> is C<undef> |
|
|
2220 | when AnyEvent gets loaded. |
|
|
2221 | |
|
|
2222 | The rationale for this is that AnyEvent users usually do not really depend |
|
|
2223 | on SIGPIPE delivery (which is purely an optimisation for shell use, or |
|
|
2224 | badly-written programs), but C<SIGPIPE> can cause spurious and rare |
|
|
2225 | program exits as a lot of people do not expect C<SIGPIPE> when writing to |
|
|
2226 | some random socket. |
|
|
2227 | |
|
|
2228 | The rationale for installing a no-op handler as opposed to ignoring it is |
|
|
2229 | that this way, the handler will be restored to defaults on exec. |
|
|
2230 | |
|
|
2231 | Feel free to install your own handler, or reset it to defaults. |

|
|
2244 | |

|
2245 | One of AnyEvent's main goals is to be 100% Pure-Perl(tm): only perl (and |
|
|
2246 | it's built-in modules) are required to use it. |
|
|
2247 | |
|
|
2248 | That does not mean that AnyEvent won't take advantage of some additional |
|
|
2249 | modules if they are installed. |

2261 | delivered, AnyEvent will start an interval timer to wake up perl (and |
|
|
2262 | catch the signals) with soemd elay (default is 10 seconds, look for |
|
|
2263 | C<$AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY>). |
|
|
2264 | |
|
|
2265 | If this module is available, then it will be used to implement signal |
|
|
2266 | catching, which means that signals will not be delayed, and the event loop |
|
|
2267 | will not be interrupted regularly, which is more efficient (And good for |
|
|
2268 | battery life on laptops). |
|
|
2269 | |
|
|
2270 | This affects not just the pure-perl event loop, but also other event loops |
|
|
2271 | that have no signal handling on their own (e.g. Glib, Tk, Qt). |
|
|
2272 | |
|
|
2273 | =item L<EV> |
|
|
2274 | |
|
|
2275 | This module isn't really "optional", as it is simply one of the backend |
|
|
2276 | event loops that AnyEvent can use. However, it is simply the best event |
|
|
2277 | loop available in terms of features, speed and stability: It supports |
|
|
2278 | the AnyEvent API optimally, implements all the watcher types in XS, does |
|
|
2279 | automatic timer adjustments even when no monotonic clock is available, |
|
|
2280 | can take avdantage of advanced kernel interfaces such as C<epoll> and |
|
|
2281 | C<kqueue>, and is the fastest backend I<by far>. You can even embed |
|
|
2282 | L<Glib>/L<Gtk2> in it (or vice versa, see L<EV::Glib> and L<Glib::EV>). |
|
|
2283 | |
|
|
2284 | =item L<Guard> |
|
|
2285 | |
|
|
2286 | The guard module, when used, will be used to implement |
|
|
2287 | C<AnyEvent::Util::guard>. This speeds up guards considerably (and uses a |
|
|
2288 | lot less memory), but otherwise doesn't affect guard operation much. It is |
|
|
2289 | purely used for performance. |
|
|
2290 | |
|
|
2291 | =item L<JSON> and L<JSON::XS> |
|
|
2292 | |
|
|
2293 | This module is required when you want to read or write JSON data via |
|
|
2294 | L<AnyEvent::Handle>. It is also written in pure-perl, but can take |
|
|
2295 | advantage of the ulta-high-speed L<JSON::XS> module when it is installed. |
|
|
2296 | |
|
|
2297 | In fact, L<AnyEvent::Handle> will use L<JSON::XS> by default if it is |
|
|
2298 | installed. |
|
|
2299 | |
|
|
2300 | =item L<Net::SSLeay> |
|
|
2301 | |
|
|
2302 | Implementing TLS/SSL in Perl is certainly interesting, but not very |
|
|
2303 | worthwhile: If this module is installed, then L<AnyEvent::Handle> (with |
|
|
2304 | the help of L<AnyEvent::TLS>), gains the ability to do TLS/SSL. |
|
|
2305 | |
|
|
2306 | =item L<Time::HiRes> |
|
|
2307 | |
|
|
2308 | This module is part of perl since release 5.008. It will be used when the |
|
|
2309 | chosen event library does not come with a timing source on it's own. The |
|
|
2310 | pure-perl event loop (L<AnyEvent::Impl::Perl>) will additionally use it to |
|
|
2311 | try to use a monotonic clock for timing stability. |

2353 | =head1 BUGS |
|
|
2354 | |
|
|
2355 | Perl 5.8 has numerous memleaks that sometimes hit this module and are hard |
|
|
2356 | to work around. If you suffer from memleaks, first upgrade to Perl 5.10 |
|
|
2357 | and check wether the leaks still show up. (Perl 5.10.0 has other annoying |
|
|
2358 | memleaks, such as leaking on C<map> and C<grep> but it is usually not as |
|
|
2359 | pronounced). |
