30(I<flavour>) (see L<Event>). The only difference between these and the 30(I<flavour>) (see L<Event>). The only difference between these and the
31watcher constructors from Event is that you do not specify a callback 31watcher constructors from Event is that you do not specify a callback

35Coro::Event->main. 35Coro::Event::loop.
36
37Please note that even programs or modules (such as
38L<Coro::Handle|Coro::Handle>) that use "traditional"
39event-based/continuation style will run more efficient with this module
40then when using only Event.
41
42=head1 WARNING
43
44Please note that Event does not support coroutines or threads. That
45means that you B<MUST NOT> block in an event callback. Again: In Event
46callbacks, you I<must never ever> call a Coroutine fucntion that blocks
47the current coroutine.
48
49While this seems to work superficially, it will eventually cause memory
50corruption.
51
52=head1 SEMANTICS
53
54Whenever Event blocks (e.g. in a call to C<one_event>, C<loop> etc.),
55this module cede's to all other coroutines with the same or higher
56priority. When any coroutines of lower priority are ready, it will not
57block but run one of them and then check for events.
58
59The effect is that coroutines with the same or higher priority than
60the blocking coroutine will keep Event from checking for events, while
61coroutines with lower priority are being run, but Event checks for new
62events after every cede.

154Unlike loop's counterpart it is not an error when no watchers are active -
155loop silently returns in this case, as if unloop(undef) were called.
