213
214=head3 GETTING A FILE HANDLE FROM A FILE DESCRIPTOR
215
216It is not uncommon to only have a file descriptor, while AnyEvent requires
217a Perl file handle.
218
219There are basically two methods to convert a file descriptor into a file handle. If you own
220the file descriptor, you can open it with C<&=>, as in:
221
222 open my $fh, "<&=$fileno" or die "xxx: ยง!";
223
224This will "own" the file descriptor, meaning that when C<$fh> is
225destroyed, it will automatically close the C<$fileno>. Also, note that
226the open mode (read, write, read/write) must correspond with how the
227underlying file descriptor was opened.
228
229In many cases, taking over the file descriptor is now what you want, in
230which case the only alternative is to dup the file descriptor:
231
232 open my $fh, "<&$fileno" or die "xxx: $!";
233
234This has the advantage of not closing the file descriptor and the
235disadvantage of making a slow copy.

608C<send>. Note, however, that many C-based event loops do not handle 586C<send>.
609overloading, so as tempting as it may be, passing a condition variable
610instead of a callback does not work. Both the pure perl and EV loops
611support overloading, however, as well as all functions that use perl to
612invoke a callback (as in L<AnyEvent::Socket> and L<AnyEvent::DNS> for
613example).

597deep in some event clalback without connection to the actual code causing

726 703
704Note that doing a blocking wait in a callback is not supported by any
705event loop, that is, recursive invocation of a blocking C<< ->recv
706>> is not allowed, and the C<recv> call will C<croak> if such a
707condition is detected. This condition can be slightly loosened by using
708L<Coro::AnyEvent>, which allows you to do a blocking C<< ->recv >> from
709any thread that doesn't run the event loop itself.

733while still supporting blocking waits if the caller so desires). 717while still supporting blocking waits if the caller so desires).
734 718
735Another reason I<never> to C<< ->recv >> in a module is that you cannot
736sensibly have two C<< ->recv >>'s in parallel, as that would require
737multiple interpreters or coroutines/threads, none of which C<AnyEvent>
738can supply.
739
740The L<Coro> module, however, I<can> and I<does> supply coroutines and, in
741fact, L<Coro::AnyEvent> replaces AnyEvent's condvars by coroutine-safe
742versions and also integrates coroutines into AnyEvent, making blocking
743C<< ->recv >> calls perfectly safe as long as they are done from another
744coroutine (one that doesn't run the event loop).
745
746You can ensure that C<< -recv >> never blocks by setting a callback and 719You can ensure that C<< -recv >> never blocks by setting a callback and
747only calling C<< ->recv >> from within that callback (or at a later 720only calling C<< ->recv >> from within that callback (or at a later
748time). This will work even when the event loop does not support blocking 721time). This will work even when the event loop does not support blocking

741=head1 SUPPORTED EVENT LOOPS/BACKENDS
742
743The available backend classes are (every class has its own manpage):
744
745=over 4
746
747=item Backends that are autoprobed when no other event loop can be found.
748
749EV is the preferred backend when no other event loop seems to be in
750use. If EV is not installed, then AnyEvent will try Event, and, failing
751that, will fall back to its own pure-perl implementation, which is
752available everywhere as it comes with AnyEvent itself.
753
754 AnyEvent::Impl::EV based on EV (interface to libev, best choice).
755 AnyEvent::Impl::Event based on Event, very stable, few glitches.
756 AnyEvent::Impl::Perl pure-perl implementation, fast and portable.
757
758=item Backends that are transparently being picked up when they are used.
759
760These will be used when they are currently loaded when the first watcher
761is created, in which case it is assumed that the application is using
762them. This means that AnyEvent will automatically pick the right backend
763when the main program loads an event module before anything starts to
764create watchers. Nothing special needs to be done by the main program.
765
766 AnyEvent::Impl::Glib based on Glib, slow but very stable.
767 AnyEvent::Impl::Tk based on Tk, very broken.
768 AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib based on Event::Lib, leaks memory and worse.
769 AnyEvent::Impl::POE based on POE, very slow, some limitations.
770
771=item Backends with special needs.
772
773Qt requires the Qt::Application to be instantiated first, but will
774otherwise be picked up automatically. As long as the main program
775instantiates the application before any AnyEvent watchers are created,
776everything should just work.
777
778 AnyEvent::Impl::Qt based on Qt.
779
780Support for IO::Async can only be partial, as it is too broken and
781architecturally limited to even support the AnyEvent API. It also
782is the only event loop that needs the loop to be set explicitly, so
783it can only be used by a main program knowing about AnyEvent. See
784L<AnyEvent::Impl::Async> for the gory details.
785
786 AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync based on IO::Async, cannot be autoprobed.
787
788=item Event loops that are indirectly supported via other backends.
789
790Some event loops can be supported via other modules:
791
792There is no direct support for WxWidgets (L<Wx>) or L<Prima>.
793
794B<WxWidgets> has no support for watching file handles. However, you can
795use WxWidgets through the POE adaptor, as POE has a Wx backend that simply
796polls 20 times per second, which was considered to be too horrible to even
797consider for AnyEvent.
798
799B<Prima> is not supported as nobody seems to be using it, but it has a POE
800backend, so it can be supported through POE.
801
802AnyEvent knows about both L<Prima> and L<Wx>, however, and will try to
803load L<POE> when detecting them, in the hope that POE will pick them up,
804in which case everything will be automatic.

780The known classes so far are:

782 AnyEvent::Impl::EV based on EV (an interface to libev, best choice).
783 AnyEvent::Impl::Event based on Event, second best choice.

787 AnyEvent::Impl::Qt based on Qt, cannot be autoprobed (see its docs).
788 AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib based on Event::Lib, leaks memory and worse.
789 AnyEvent::Impl::POE based on POE, not generic enough for full support.

791 # warning, support for IO::Async is only partial, as it is too broken
792 # and limited toe ven support the AnyEvent API. See AnyEvent::Impl::Async.
793 AnyEvent::Impl::IOAsync based on IO::Async, cannot be autoprobed (see its docs).
794
795There is no support for WxWidgets, as WxWidgets has no support for
796watching file handles. However, you can use WxWidgets through the
797POE Adaptor, as POE has a Wx backend that simply polls 20 times per
798second, which was considered to be too horrible to even consider for
799AnyEvent. Likewise, other POE backends can be used by AnyEvent by using
800it's adaptor.

840
841The block will be executed I<after> the actual backend has been detected
842(C<$AnyEvent::MODEL> is set), but I<before> any watchers have been
843created, so it is possible to e.g. patch C<@AnyEvent::ISA> or do
844other initialisations - see the sources of L<AnyEvent::Strict> or
845L<AnyEvent::AIO> to see how this is used.
846
847The most common usage is to create some global watchers, without forcing
848event module detection too early, for example, L<AnyEvent::AIO> creates
849and installs the global L<IO::AIO> watcher in a C<post_detect> block to
850avoid autodetecting the event module at load time.

870when AnyEvent is used and thus want to know when it is initialised, but do
