125 | adaptor should always succeed) in the order given. The first one that can |

126 | be successfully loaded will be used. If, after this, still none could be |

1001 | Example: To load Coro::AnyEvent whenever Coro and AnyEvent are used |
|
|
1002 | together, you could put this into Coro (this is the actual code used by |
|
|
1003 | Coro to accomplish this): |
|
|
1004 | |
|
|
1005 | if (defined $AnyEvent::MODEL) { |
|
|
1006 | # AnyEvent already initialised, so load Coro::AnyEvent |
|
|
1007 | require Coro::AnyEvent; |
|
|
1008 | } else { |
|
|
1009 | # AnyEvent not yet initialised, so make sure to load Coro::AnyEvent |
|
|
1010 | # as soon as it is |
|
|
1011 | push @AnyEvent::post_detect, sub { require Coro::AnyEvent }; |
|
|
1012 | } |
|
|
1013 | |
|
|
1014 | =item AnyEvent::postpone { BLOCK } |
|
|
1015 | |
|
|
1016 | Arranges for the block to be executed as soon as possible, but not before |
|
|
1017 | the call itself returns. In practise, the block will be executed just |
|
|
1018 | before the event loop polls for new events, or shortly afterwards. |
|
|
1019 | |
|
|
1020 | This function never returns anything (to make the C<return postpone { ... |
|
|
1021 | }> idiom more useful. |
|
|
1022 | |
|
|
1023 | To understand the usefulness of this function, consider a function that |
|
|
1024 | asynchronously does something for you and returns some transaction |
|
|
1025 | object or guard to let you cancel the operation. For example, |
|
|
1026 | C<AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_connect>: |
|
|
1027 | |
|
|
1028 | # start a conenction attempt unless one is active |
|
|
1029 | $self->{connect_guard} ||= AnyEvent::Socket::tcp_connect "www.example.net", 80, sub { |
|
|
1030 | delete $self->{connect_guard}; |
|
|
1031 | ... |
|
|
1032 | }; |
|
|
1033 | |
|
|
1034 | Imagine that this function could instantly call the callback, for |
|
|
1035 | example, because it detects an obvious error such as a negative port |
|
|
1036 | number. Invoking the callback before the function returns causes problems |
|
|
1037 | however: the callback will be called and will try to delete the guard |
|
|
1038 | object. But since the function hasn't returned yet, there is nothing to |
|
|
1039 | delete. When the function eventually returns it will assign the guard |
|
|
1040 | object to C<< $self->{connect_guard} >>, where it will likely never be |
|
|
1041 | deleted, so the program thinks it is still trying to connect. |
|
|
1042 | |
|
|
1043 | This is where C<AnyEvent::postpone> should be used. Instead of calling the |
|
|
1044 | callback directly on error: |
|
|
1045 | |
|
|
1046 | $cb->(undef), return # signal error to callback, BAD! |
|
|
1047 | if $some_error_condition; |
|
|
1048 | |
|
|
1049 | It should use C<postpone>: |
|
|
1050 | |
|
|
1051 | AnyEvent::postpone { $cb->(undef) }, return # signal error to callback, later |
|
|
1052 | if $some_error_condition; |
|
|
1053 | |
|
|
1054 | =item AnyEvent::log $level, $msg[, @args] |
|
|
1055 | |
|
|
1056 | Log the given C<$msg> at the given C<$level>. |
|
|
1057 | |
|
|
1058 | If L<AnyEvent::Log> is not loaded then this function makes a simple test |
|
|
1059 | to see whether the message will be logged. If the test succeeds it will |
|
|
1060 | load AnyEvent::Log and call C<AnyEvent::Log::log> - consequently, look at |
|
|
1061 | the L<AnyEvent::Log> documentation for details. |
|
|
1062 | |
|
|
1063 | If the test fails it will simply return. |
|
|
1064 | |
|
|
1065 | If you want to sprinkle loads of logging calls around your code, consider |
|
|
1066 | creating a logger callback with the C<AnyEvent::Log::logger> function, |
|
|
1067 | which can reduce typing, codesize and can reduce the logging overhead |
|
|
1068 | enourmously. |

1734 | |
2002 | |
1735 | The following environment variables are used by this module or its |
2003 | AnyEvent supports a number of environment variables that tune the |
1736 | submodules. |
2004 | runtime behaviour. They are usually evaluated when AnyEvent is |
|
|
2005 | loaded, initialised, or a submodule that uses them is loaded. Many of |
|
|
2006 | them also cause AnyEvent to load additional modules - for example, |
|
|
2007 | C<PERL_ANYEVENT_DEBUG_WRAP> causes the L<AnyEvent::Debug> module to be |
|
|
2008 | loaded. |
1737 | |
2009 | |
1738 | Note that AnyEvent will remove I<all> environment variables starting with |
2010 | All the environment variables documented here start with |
1739 | C<PERL_ANYEVENT_> from C<%ENV> when it is loaded while taint mode is |
2011 | C<PERL_ANYEVENT_>, which is what AnyEvent considers its own |
1740 | enabled. |
2012 | namespace. Other modules are encouraged (but by no means required) to use |
|
|
2013 | C<PERL_ANYEVENT_SUBMODULE> if they have registered the AnyEvent::Submodule |
|
|
2014 | namespace on CPAN, for any submodule. For example, L<AnyEvent::HTTP> could |
|
|
2015 | be expected to use C<PERL_ANYEVENT_HTTP_PROXY> (it should not access env |
|
|
2016 | variables starting with C<AE_>, see below). |
|
|
2017 | |
|
|
2018 | All variables can also be set via the C<AE_> prefix, that is, instead |
|
|
2019 | of setting C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> you can also set C<AE_VERBOSE>. In |
|
|
2020 | case there is a clash btween anyevent and another program that uses |
|
|
2021 | C<AE_something> you can set the corresponding C<PERL_ANYEVENT_something> |
|
|
2022 | variable to the empty string, as those variables take precedence. |
|
|
2023 | |
|
|
2024 | When AnyEvent is first loaded, it copies all C<AE_xxx> env variables |
|
|
2025 | to their C<PERL_ANYEVENT_xxx> counterpart unless that variable already |
|
|
2026 | exists. If taint mode is on, then AnyEvent will remove I<all> environment |
|
|
2027 | variables starting with C<PERL_ANYEVENT_> from C<%ENV> (or replace them |
|
|
2028 | with C<undef> or the empty string, if the corresaponding C<AE_> variable |
|
|
2029 | is set). |
|
|
2030 | |
|
|
2031 | The exact algorithm is currently: |
|
|
2032 | |
|
|
2033 | 1. if taint mode enabled, delete all PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz variables from %ENV |
|
|
2034 | 2. copy over AE_xyz to PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz unless the latter alraedy exists |
|
|
2035 | 3. if taint mode enabled, set all PERL_ANYEVENT_xyz variables to undef. |
|
|
2036 | |
|
|
2037 | This ensures that child processes will not see the C<AE_> variables. |
|
|
2038 | |
|
|
2039 | The following environment variables are currently known to AnyEvent: |
1741 | |

2857 | - higher performance APIs such as BSD's kqueue or the dreaded Linux epoll |
|
|
2858 | are usually badly thought-out hacks that are incompatible with fork in |
|
|
2859 | one way or another. Only L<EV> is fully fork-aware and ensures that you |
|
|
2860 | continue event-processing in both parent and child (or both, if you know |
|
|
2861 | what you are doing). |
|
|
2862 | |
|
|
2863 | This means that, in general, you cannot fork and do event processing in |
|
|
2864 | the child if the event library was initialised before the fork (which |
|
|
2865 | usually happens when the first AnyEvent watcher is created, or the library |
|
|
2866 | is loaded). |

|
|
2871 | |
|
|
2872 | The problem of doing event processing in the parent I<and> the child |
|
|
2873 | is much more complicated: even for backends that I<are> fork-aware or |
|
|
2874 | fork-safe, their behaviour is not usually what you want: fork clones all |
|
|
2875 | watchers, that means all timers, I/O watchers etc. are active in both |
|
|
2876 | parent and child, which is almost never what you want. USing C<exec> |
|
|
2877 | to start worker children from some kind of manage rprocess is usually |
|
|
2878 | preferred, because it is much easier and cleaner, at the expense of having |
|
|
2879 | to have another binary. |
