140Perl on Win32 supports only ASCII filenames (the reason is that it abuses
141an internal flag to store wether a filename is Unicode or ANSI, but that
142flag is used for somethign else in the perl core, so there is no way to
143detect wether a filename is ANSI or Unicode-encoded). The BDB module
144tries to work around this issue by assuming that the filename is an ANSI
145filename and BDB was built for unicode support.

161C<bdb_filename> is a "filename" (octets on unix, madness on windows), 154C<bdb_filename> is a "filename" (octets on unix, madness on windows),

173 165
166The C<SV *callback> is the optional callback function to call when the
167request is completed. This last callback argument is special: the callback
168is simply the last argument passed. If there are "optional" arguments
169before the callback they can be left out. The callback itself can be left
170out or specified as C<undef>, in which case the function will be executed
171synchronously.
172
173For example, C<db_env_txn_checkpoint> usually is called with all integer
174arguments zero. These can be left out, so all of these specify a call
175to C<< DB_ENV->txn_checkpoint >>, to be executed asynchronously with a
176callback to be called:
177
178 db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, 0, sub { };
179 db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, sub { };
180 db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, sub { };
181
182While these all specify a call to C<< DB_ENV->txn_checkpoint >> to be
183executed synchronously:
184
185 db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, 0, undef;
186 db_env_txn_checkpoint $db_env, 0, 0, 0;

684such as L<AnyEvent::BDB> or L<Coro::BDB>. 713such as L<Coro::BDB>.
685 714
686The default implementation works like this: 715To allow other, callback-based, events to be executed while callback-less
716ones are run, you could use this sync prepare function:
687 717
688 sub { 718 sub {
689 my $status; 719 my $status;
690 ( 720 (
691 sub { $status = $! }, 721 sub { $status = $! },
692 sub { BDB::poll while !defined $status; $! = $status }, 722 sub { BDB::poll while !defined $status; $! = $status },
693 ) 723 )
694 } 724 }
695 725
696It simply blocks the process till the request has finished and then sets 726It works by polling for results till the request has finished and then
697C<$!> to the return value. This means that if you don't use a callback, 727sets C<$!> to the return value. This means that if you don't use a
698BDB will simply fall back to synchronous operations. 728callback, BDB would simply fall back to synchronous operations.
729
730By default, or if the sync prepare function is set to C<undef>, is to
731execute callback-less BDB requests in the foreground thread, setting C<$!>
732to the return value, without polling for other events.

772=head1 COMMON PITFALLS
773
774=head2 Unexpected Crashes
775
776Remember that, by default, BDB will execute requests in parallel, in
777somewhat random order. That means that it is easy to run a C<db_get>
778request on the same database as a concurrent C<db_close> request, leading
779to a crash, silent data corruption, eventually the next world war on
780terrorism.
781
782If you only ever use foreground requests (without a callback), this will
783not be an issue (unless you use threads).
784
785=head2 Unexpected Freezes or Deadlocks
786
787Remember that, by default, BDB will execute requests in parallel, which
788easily leads to deadlocks (even concurrent put's on the same database can
789deadlock).
790
791You either need to run deadlock detection (and handle the resulting
792errors), or make sure only one process ever updates the database, ine one
793thread, e.g. by using only foreground requests (without a callback).

834=head1 WIN32 FILENAMES/DATABASE NAME MESS
835
836Perl on Win32 supports only ASCII filenames (the reason is that it abuses
837an internal flag to store wether a filename is Unicode or ANSI, but that
838flag is used for somethign else in the perl core, so there is no way to
839detect wether a filename is ANSI or Unicode-encoded). The BDB module
840tries to work around this issue by assuming that the filename is an ANSI
841filename and BDB was built for unicode support.
