|
|
2251 | |
|
|
2252 | Perl has inherently racy signal handling (you can basically choose between |
|
|
2253 | losing signals and memory corruption) - pure perl event loops (including |
|
|
2254 | C<AnyEvent::Loop>, when C<Async::Interrupt> isn't available) therefore |
|
|
2255 | have to poll regularly to avoid losing signals. |
|
|
2256 | |
|
|
2257 | Some event loops are racy, but don't poll regularly, and some event loops |
|
|
2258 | are written in C but are still racy. For those event loops, AnyEvent |
|
|
2259 | installs a timer that regularly wakes up the event loop. |
|
|
2260 | |
|
|
2261 | By default, the interval for this timer is C<10> seconds, but you can |
|
|
2262 | override this delay with this environment variable (or by setting |
|
|
2263 | the C<$AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY> variable before creating signal |
|
|
2264 | watchers). |
|
|
2265 | |
|
|
2266 | Lower values increase CPU (and energy) usage, higher values can introduce |
|
|
2267 | long delays when reaping children or waiting for signals. |
|
|
2268 | |
|
|
2269 | The L<AnyEvent::Async> module, if available, will be used to avoid this |
|
|
2270 | polling (with most event loops). |

2939 | The default implementation of L<AnyEvent::IO> is to do I/O synchronously, |

|

|
|
2941 | programs. |
|
|
2942 | |
|
|
2943 | Installing AnyEvent::AIO (and its IO::AIO dependency) makes it switch to |
|
|
2944 | a true asynchronous implementation, so event processing can continue even |

|
2977 | |
|
|
2978 | In addition to logical problems with fork, there are also implementation |
|
|
2979 | problems. For example, on POSIX systems, you cannot fork at all in Perl |
|
|
2980 | code if a thread (I am talking of pthreads here) was ever created in the |
|
|
2981 | process, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. In general, using fork |
|
|
2982 | from Perl is difficult, and attempting to use fork without an exec to |
|
|
2983 | implement some kind of parallel processing is almost certainly doomed. |
|
|
2984 | |
|
|
2985 | To safely fork and exec, you should use a module such as |
|
|
2986 | L<Proc::FastSpawn> that let's you safely fork and exec new processes. |
|
|
2987 | |
|
|
2988 | If you want to do multiprocessing using processes, you can |
|
|
2989 | look at the L<AnyEvent::Fork> module (and some related modules |
|
|
2990 | such as L<AnyEvent::Fork::RPC>, L<AnyEvent::Fork::Pool> and |
|
|
2991 | L<AnyEvent::Fork::Remote>). This module allows you to safely create |
|
|
2992 | subprocesses without any limitations - you can use X11 toolkits or |
|
|
2993 | AnyEvent in the children created by L<AnyEvent::Fork> safely and without |
|
|
2994 | any special precautions. |
