411=head3 Restart Behaviour
412
413While restart behaviour is up to the event loop implementation, most will
414not restart syscalls (that includes L<Async::Interrupt> and AnyEvent's
415pure perl implementation).
416
417=head3 Safe/Unsafe Signals
418
419Perl signals can be either "safe" (synchronous to opcode handling) or
420"unsafe" (asynchronous) - the former might get delayed indefinitely, the
421latter might corrupt your memory.
422
423AnyEvent signal handlers are, in addition, synchronous to the event loop,
424i.e. they will not interrupt your running perl program but will only be
425called as part of the normal event handling (just like timer, I/O etc.
426callbacks, too).

493"nothing better to do" is usually defined to be "no other events need
494attention by the event loop".

497better to do, just before it would block the process to wait for new 515is not so important (or wise) to do it instantly. The callback will be
498events. Instead of blocking, the idle watcher is invoked. 516invoked only when there is "nothing better to do", which is usually
517defined as "all outstanding events have been handled and no new events
518have been detected". That means that idle watchers ideally get invoked
519when the event loop has just polled for new events but none have been
520detected. Instead of blocking to wait for more events, the idle watchers
521will be invoked.
499 522

985together, you could put this into Coro (this is the actual code used by
986Coro to accomplish this):

1094
1095Here be danger!
1096
1097As Pauli would put it, "Not only is it not right, it's not even wrong!" -
1098there are so many things wrong with AnyEvent::Handle::UDP, most notably
1099it's use of a stream-based API with a protocol that isn't streamable, that
1100the only way to improve it is to delete it.
1101
1102It features data corruption (but typically only under load) and general
1103confusion. On top, the author is not only clueless about UDP but also
1104fact-resistant - some gems of his understanding: "connect doesn't work
1105with UDP", "UDP packets are not IP packets", "UDP only has datagrams, not
1106packets", "I don't need to implement proper error checking as UDP doesn't
1107support error checking" and so on - he doesn't even understand what's
1108wrong with his module when it is explained to him.

2578are usually badly thought-out hacks that are incompatible with fork in
2579one way or another. Only L<EV> is fully fork-aware and ensures that you
2580continue event-processing in both parent and child (or both, if you know
2581what you are doing).
2582
2583This means that, in general, you cannot fork and do event processing in
2584the child if the event library was initialised before the fork (which
2585usually happens when the first AnyEvent watcher is created, or the library
2586is loaded).

2592The problem of doing event processing in the parent I<and> the child
2593is much more complicated: even for backends that I<are> fork-aware or
2594fork-safe, their behaviour is not usually what you want: fork clones all
2595watchers, that means all timers, I/O watchers etc. are active in both
2596parent and child, which is almost never what you want. USing C<exec>
2597to start worker children from some kind of manage rprocess is usually
2598preferred, because it is much easier and cleaner, at the expense of having
2599to have another binary.
