408 | =head3 Restart Behaviour |
|
|
409 | |
|
|
410 | While restart behaviour is up to the event loop implementation, most will |
|
|
411 | not restart syscalls (that includes L<Async::Interrupt> and AnyEvent's |
|
|
412 | pure perl implementation). |
|
|
413 | |
|
|
414 | =head3 Safe/Unsafe Signals |
|
|
415 | |
|
|
416 | Perl signals can be either "safe" (synchronous to opcode handling) or |
|
|
417 | "unsafe" (asynchronous) - the former might get delayed indefinitely, the |
|
|
418 | latter might corrupt your memory. |
|
|
419 | |
|
|
420 | AnyEvent signal handlers are, in addition, synchronous to the event loop, |
|
|
421 | i.e. they will not interrupt your running perl program but will only be |
|
|
422 | called as part of the normal event handling (just like timer, I/O etc. |
|
|
423 | callbacks, too). |
|
|
424 | |
|
|
425 | =head3 Signal Races, Delays and Workarounds |
|
|
426 | |
|
|
427 | Many event loops (e.g. Glib, Tk, Qt, IO::Async) do not support attaching |
|
|
428 | callbacks to signals in a generic way, which is a pity, as you cannot |
|
|
429 | do race-free signal handling in perl, requiring C libraries for |
|
|
430 | this. AnyEvent will try to do it's best, which means in some cases, |
|
|
431 | signals will be delayed. The maximum time a signal might be delayed is |
|
|
432 | specified in C<$AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY> (default: 10 seconds). This |
|
|
433 | variable can be changed only before the first signal watcher is created, |
|
|
434 | and should be left alone otherwise. This variable determines how often |
|
|
435 | AnyEvent polls for signals (in case a wake-up was missed). Higher values |
|
|
436 | will cause fewer spurious wake-ups, which is better for power and CPU |
|
|
437 | saving. |
|
|
438 | |
|
|
439 | All these problems can be avoided by installing the optional |
|
|
440 | L<Async::Interrupt> module, which works with most event loops. It will not |
|
|
441 | work with inherently broken event loops such as L<Event> or L<Event::Lib> |
|
|
442 | (and not with L<POE> currently, as POE does it's own workaround with |
|
|
443 | one-second latency). For those, you just have to suffer the delays. |

712 | Another reason I<never> to C<< ->recv >> in a module is that you cannot |

2462 | =head1 RECOMMENDED/OPTIONAL MODULES |
|
|
2463 | |
|
|
2464 | One of AnyEvent's main goals is to be 100% Pure-Perl(tm): only perl (and |
|
|
2465 | it's built-in modules) are required to use it. |
|
|
2466 | |
|
|
2467 | That does not mean that AnyEvent won't take advantage of some additional |
|
|
2468 | modules if they are installed. |
|
|
2469 | |
|
|
2470 | This section explains which additional modules will be used, and how they |
|
|
2471 | affect AnyEvent's operation. |

2475 | =item L<Async::Interrupt> |
|
|
2476 | |
|
|
2477 | This slightly arcane module is used to implement fast signal handling: To |
|
|
2478 | my knowledge, there is no way to do completely race-free and quick |
|
|
2479 | signal handling in pure perl. To ensure that signals still get |
|
|
2480 | delivered, AnyEvent will start an interval timer to wake up perl (and |
|
|
2481 | catch the signals) with some delay (default is 10 seconds, look for |
|
|
2482 | C<$AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY>). |
|
|
2483 | |
|
|
2484 | If this module is available, then it will be used to implement signal |
|
|
2485 | catching, which means that signals will not be delayed, and the event loop |
|
|
2486 | will not be interrupted regularly, which is more efficient (and good for |
|
|
2487 | battery life on laptops). |
|
|
2488 | |
|
|
2489 | This affects not just the pure-perl event loop, but also other event loops |
|
|
2490 | that have no signal handling on their own (e.g. Glib, Tk, Qt). |
|
|
2491 | |
|
|
2492 | Some event loops (POE, Event, Event::Lib) offer signal watchers natively, |
|
|
2493 | and either employ their own workarounds (POE) or use AnyEvent's workaround |
|
|
2494 | (using C<$AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY>). Installing L<Async::Interrupt> |
|
|
2495 | does nothing for those backends. |
|
|
2496 | |
|
|
2497 | =item L<EV> |
|
|
2498 | |
|
|
2499 | This module isn't really "optional", as it is simply one of the backend |
|
|
2500 | event loops that AnyEvent can use. However, it is simply the best event |
|
|
2501 | loop available in terms of features, speed and stability: It supports |
|
|
2502 | the AnyEvent API optimally, implements all the watcher types in XS, does |
|
|
2503 | automatic timer adjustments even when no monotonic clock is available, |
|
|
2504 | can take avdantage of advanced kernel interfaces such as C<epoll> and |
|
|
2505 | C<kqueue>, and is the fastest backend I<by far>. You can even embed |
|
|
2506 | L<Glib>/L<Gtk2> in it (or vice versa, see L<EV::Glib> and L<Glib::EV>). |
|
|
2507 | |
|
|
2508 | =item L<Guard> |
|
|
2509 | |
|
|
2510 | The guard module, when used, will be used to implement |
|
|
2511 | C<AnyEvent::Util::guard>. This speeds up guards considerably (and uses a |
|
|
2512 | lot less memory), but otherwise doesn't affect guard operation much. It is |
|
|
2513 | purely used for performance. |
|
|
2514 | |
|
|
2515 | =item L<JSON> and L<JSON::XS> |
|
|
2516 | |
|
|
2517 | One of these modules is required when you want to read or write JSON data |
|
|
2518 | via L<AnyEvent::Handle>. It is also written in pure-perl, but can take |
|
|
2519 | advantage of the ultra-high-speed L<JSON::XS> module when it is installed. |
|
|
2520 | |
|
|
2521 | In fact, L<AnyEvent::Handle> will use L<JSON::XS> by default if it is |
|
|
2522 | installed. |
|
|
2523 | |
|
|
2524 | =item L<Net::SSLeay> |
|
|
2525 | |
|
|
2526 | Implementing TLS/SSL in Perl is certainly interesting, but not very |
|
|
2527 | worthwhile: If this module is installed, then L<AnyEvent::Handle> (with |
|
|
2528 | the help of L<AnyEvent::TLS>), gains the ability to do TLS/SSL. |
|
|
2529 | |
|
|
2530 | =item L<Time::HiRes> |
|
|
2531 | |
|
|
2532 | This module is part of perl since release 5.008. It will be used when the |
|
|
2533 | chosen event library does not come with a timing source on it's own. The |
|
|
2534 | pure-perl event loop (L<AnyEvent::Impl::Perl>) will additionally use it to |
|
|
2535 | try to use a monotonic clock for timing stability. |

2545 | are usually badly thought-out hacks that are incompatible with fork in |
|
|
2546 | one way or another. Only L<EV> is fully fork-aware and ensures that you |
|
|
2547 | continue event-processing in both parent and child (or both, if you know |
|
|
2548 | what you are doing). |
|
|
2549 | |
|
|
2550 | This means that, in general, you cannot fork and do event processing in |
|
|
2551 | the child if the event library was initialised before the fork (which |
|
|
2552 | usually happens when the first AnyEvent watcher is created, or the library |
|
|
2553 | is loaded). |

2562 | watchers, that means all timers, I/O watchers etc. are active in both |
|
|
2563 | parent and child, which is almost never what you want. USing C<exec> |
|
|
2564 | to start worker children from some kind of manage rprocess is usually |
|
|
2565 | preferred, because it is much easier and cleaner, at the expense of having |
|
|
2566 | to have another binary. |
