1180 | =head1 ERROR AND EXCEPTION HANDLING |
|
|
1181 | |
|
|
1182 | In general, AnyEvent does not do any error handling - it relies on the |
|
|
1183 | caller to do that if required. The L<AnyEvent::Strict> module (see also |
|
|
1184 | the C<PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT> environment variable, below) provides strict |
|
|
1185 | checking of all AnyEvent methods, however, which is highly useful during |
|
|
1186 | development. |
|
|
1187 | |
|
|
1188 | As for exception handling (i.e. runtime errors and exceptions thrown while |
|
|
1189 | executing a callback), this is not only highly event-loop specific, but |
|
|
1190 | also not in any way wrapped by this module, as this is the job of the main |
|
|
1191 | program. |
|
|
1192 | |
|
|
1193 | The pure perl event loop simply re-throws the exception (usually |
|
|
1194 | within C<< condvar->recv >>), the L<Event> and L<EV> modules call C<< |
|
|
1195 | $Event/EV::DIED->() >>, L<Glib> uses C<< install_exception_handler >> and |
|
|
1196 | so on. |
|
|
1197 | |
|
|
1198 | =head1 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES |
|
|
1199 | |
|
|
1200 | The following environment variables are used by this module or its |
|
|
1201 | submodules: |
|
|
1202 | |
|
|
1203 | =over 4 |
|
|
1204 | |
|
|
1205 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_VERBOSE> |
|
|
1206 | |
|
|
1207 | By default, AnyEvent will be completely silent except in fatal |
|
|
1208 | conditions. You can set this environment variable to make AnyEvent more |
|
|
1209 | talkative. |
|
|
1210 | |
|
|
1211 | When set to C<1> or higher, causes AnyEvent to warn about unexpected |
|
|
1212 | conditions, such as not being able to load the event model specified by |
|
|
1213 | C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL>. |
|
|
1214 | |
|
|
1215 | When set to C<2> or higher, cause AnyEvent to report to STDERR which event |
|
|
1216 | model it chooses. |
|
|
1217 | |
|
|
1218 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT> |
|
|
1219 | |
|
|
1220 | AnyEvent does not do much argument checking by default, as thorough |
|
|
1221 | argument checking is very costly. Setting this variable to a true value |
|
|
1222 | will cause AnyEvent to load C<AnyEvent::Strict> and then to thoroughly |
|
|
1223 | check the arguments passed to most method calls. If it finds any problems |
|
|
1224 | it will croak. |
|
|
1225 | |
|
|
1226 | In other words, enables "strict" mode. |
|
|
1227 | |
|
|
1228 | Unlike C<use strict>, it is definitely recommended ot keep it off in |
|
|
1229 | production. Keeping C<PERL_ANYEVENT_STRICT=1> in your environment while |
|
|
1230 | developing programs can be very useful, however. |
|
|
1231 | |
|
|
1232 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL> |
|
|
1233 | |
|
|
1234 | This can be used to specify the event model to be used by AnyEvent, before |
|
|
1235 | auto detection and -probing kicks in. It must be a string consisting |
|
|
1236 | entirely of ASCII letters. The string C<AnyEvent::Impl::> gets prepended |
|
|
1237 | and the resulting module name is loaded and if the load was successful, |
|
|
1238 | used as event model. If it fails to load AnyEvent will proceed with |
|
|
1239 | auto detection and -probing. |
|
|
1240 | |
|
|
1241 | This functionality might change in future versions. |
|
|
1242 | |
|
|
1243 | For example, to force the pure perl model (L<AnyEvent::Impl::Perl>) you |
|
|
1244 | could start your program like this: |
|
|
1245 | |
|
|
1246 | PERL_ANYEVENT_MODEL=Perl perl ... |
|
|
1247 | |
|
|
1248 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS> |
|
|
1249 | |
|
|
1250 | Used by both L<AnyEvent::DNS> and L<AnyEvent::Socket> to determine preferences |
|
|
1251 | for IPv4 or IPv6. The default is unspecified (and might change, or be the result |
|
|
1252 | of auto probing). |
|
|
1253 | |
|
|
1254 | Must be set to a comma-separated list of protocols or address families, |
|
|
1255 | current supported: C<ipv4> and C<ipv6>. Only protocols mentioned will be |
|
|
1256 | used, and preference will be given to protocols mentioned earlier in the |
|
|
1257 | list. |
|
|
1258 | |
|
|
1259 | This variable can effectively be used for denial-of-service attacks |
|
|
1260 | against local programs (e.g. when setuid), although the impact is likely |
|
|
1261 | small, as the program has to handle connection errors already- |
|
|
1262 | |
|
|
1263 | Examples: C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv4,ipv6> - prefer IPv4 over IPv6, |
|
|
1264 | but support both and try to use both. C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv4> |
|
|
1265 | - only support IPv4, never try to resolve or contact IPv6 |
|
|
1266 | addresses. C<PERL_ANYEVENT_PROTOCOLS=ipv6,ipv4> support either IPv4 or |
|
|
1267 | IPv6, but prefer IPv6 over IPv4. |
|
|
1268 | |
|
|
1269 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_EDNS0> |
|
|
1270 | |
|
|
1271 | Used by L<AnyEvent::DNS> to decide whether to use the EDNS0 extension |
|
|
1272 | for DNS. This extension is generally useful to reduce DNS traffic, but |
|
|
1273 | some (broken) firewalls drop such DNS packets, which is why it is off by |
|
|
1274 | default. |
|
|
1275 | |
|
|
1276 | Setting this variable to C<1> will cause L<AnyEvent::DNS> to announce |
|
|
1277 | EDNS0 in its DNS requests. |
|
|
1278 | |
|
|
1279 | =item C<PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_FORKS> |
|
|
1280 | |
