Return the default loop, usable by all programs. The default loop will be |
| 36 |
created on the first call to C<default> by calling X<new EV::Loop>, and |
| 37 |
should be used by all programs unless they have special requirements. |

This constructor: |

=over 4 |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
=item 1. creates a new C<EV::Loop> (similar C<new EV::Loop>). |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
=item 2. creates a new L<Async::Interrupt> object and attaches itself to it. |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
=item 3. locks the loop (see below). |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
=item 4. creates a new background thread. |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
=item 5. runs C<< $loop->run >> in that thread. |

|
| 86 |
Wake up the asynchronous loop. This is useful after registering a new |
| 87 |
watcher, to ensure that the background event loop integrates the new |
| 88 |
watcher(s) (which only happens when it iterates, which you can force by |
| 89 |
calling this method). |
| 90 |
|
| 91 |
Without calling this method, the event loop I<eventually> takes notice |
| 92 |
of new watchers, bit when this happens is not wlel-defined (can be |
| 93 |
instantaneous, or take a few hours). |
| 94 |
|
| 95 |
No locking is required. |
| 96 |
|
| 97 |
Example: lock the loop, create a timer, nudge the loop so it takes notice |
| 98 |
of the new timer, then evily busy-wait till the timer fires. |
| 99 |
|
| 100 |
my $timer; |
| 101 |
my $flag; |
| 102 |
|
| 103 |
{ |
| 104 |
$loop->scope_lock; |
| 105 |
$timer = $loop->timer (1, 0, sub { $flag = 1 }); |
| 106 |
$loop->nudge; |
| 107 |
} |
| 108 |
|
| 109 |
