240 | AnyEvent API. |
|
|
241 | |
|
|
242 | AnyEvent has two additional methods that return the "current time": |
|
|
243 | |
|
|
244 | =over 4 |
|
|
245 | |
|
|
246 | =item AnyEvent->time |
|
|
247 | |
|
|
248 | This returns the "current wallclock time" as a fractional number of |
|
|
249 | seconds since the Epoch (the same thing as C<time> or C<Time::HiRes::time> |
|
|
250 | return, and the result is guaranteed to be compatible with those). |
|
|
251 | |
|
|
252 | It progresses independently of any event loop processing, i.e. each call |
|
|
253 | will check the system clock, which usually gets updated frequently. |
|
|
254 | |
|
|
255 | =item AnyEvent->now |
|
|
256 | |
|
|
257 | This also returns the "current wallclock time", but unlike C<time>, above, |
|
|
258 | this value might change only once per event loop iteration, depending on |
|
|
259 | the event loop (most return the same time as C<time>, above). This is the |
|
|
260 | time that AnyEvent's timers get scheduled against. |
|
|
261 | |
|
|
262 | I<In almost all cases (in all cases if you don't care), this is the |
|
|
263 | function to call when you want to know the current time.> |
|
|
264 | |
|
|
265 | This function is also often faster then C<< AnyEvent->time >>, and |
|
|
266 | thus the preferred method if you want some timestamp (for example, |
|
|
267 | L<AnyEvent::Handle> uses this to update it's activity timeouts). |
|
|
268 | |
|
|
269 | The rest of this section is only of relevance if you try to be very exact |
|
|
270 | with your timing, you can skip it without bad conscience. |
|
|
271 | |
|
|
272 | For a practical example of when these times differ, consider L<Event::Lib> |
|
|
273 | and L<EV> and the following set-up: |
|
|
274 | |
|
|
275 | The event loop is running and has just invoked one of your callback at |
|
|
276 | time=500 (assume no other callbacks delay processing). In your callback, |
|
|
277 | you wait a second by executing C<sleep 1> (blocking the process for a |
|
|
278 | second) and then (at time=501) you create a relative timer that fires |
|
|
279 | after three seconds. |
|
|
280 | |
|
|
281 | With L<Event::Lib>, C<< AnyEvent->time >> and C<< AnyEvent->now >> will |
|
|
282 | both return C<501>, because that is the current time, and the timer will |
|
|
283 | be scheduled to fire at time=504 (C<501> + C<3>). |
|
|
284 | |
|
|
285 | With L<EV>, C<< AnyEvent->time >> returns C<501> (as that is the current |
|
|
286 | time), but C<< AnyEvent->now >> returns C<500>, as that is the time the |
|
|
287 | last event processing phase started. With L<EV>, your timer gets scheduled |
|
|
288 | to run at time=503 (C<500> + C<3>). |
|
|
289 | |
|
|
290 | In one sense, L<Event::Lib> is more exact, as it uses the current time |
|
|
291 | regardless of any delays introduced by event processing. However, most |
|
|
292 | callbacks do not expect large delays in processing, so this causes a |
|
|
293 | higher drift (and a lot more system calls to get the current time). |
|
|
294 | |
|
|
295 | In another sense, L<EV> is more exact, as your timer will be scheduled at |
|
|
296 | the same time, regardless of how long event processing actually took. |
|
|
297 | |
|
|
298 | In either case, if you care (and in most cases, you don't), then you |
|
|
299 | can get whatever behaviour you want with any event loop, by taking the |
|
|
300 | difference between C<< AnyEvent->time >> and C<< AnyEvent->now >> into |
|
|
301 | account. |

1691 | |
|
|
1692 | Perl 5.8 has numerous memleaks that sometimes hit this module and are hard |
|
|
1693 | to work around. If you suffer from memleaks, first upgrade to Perl 5.10 |
|
|
1694 | and check wether the leaks still show up. (Perl 5.10.0 has other annoying |
|
|
1695 | mamleaks, such as leaking on C<map> and C<grep> but it is usually not as |
|
|
1696 | pronounced). |
