82 | =head2 PORTING FROM EV 3.X to 4.X |
|
|
83 | |
|
|
84 | EV version 4 introduces a number of incompatible changes summarised |
|
|
85 | here. According to the depreciation strategy used by libev, there is a |
|
|
86 | compatibility layer in place so programs should continue to run unchanged |
|
|
87 | (the XS interface lacks this layer, so programs using that one need to be |
|
|
88 | updated). |
|
|
89 | |
|
|
90 | This compatibility layer will be switched off in some future release. |
|
|
91 | |
|
|
92 | All changes relevant to Perl are renames of symbols, functions and |
|
|
93 | methods: |
|
|
94 | |
|
|
95 | EV::loop => EV::run |
|
|
96 | EV::LOOP_NONBLOCK => EV::RUN_NOWAIT |
|
|
97 | EV::LOOP_ONESHOT => EV::RUN_ONCE |
|
|
98 | |
|
|
99 | EV::unloop => EV::break |
|
|
100 | EV::UNLOOP_CANCEL => EV::BREAK_CANCEL |
|
|
101 | EV::UNLOOP_ONE => EV::BREAK_ONE |
|
|
102 | EV::UNLOOP_ALL => EV::BREAK_ALL |
|
|
103 | |
|
|
104 | EV::TIMEOUT => EV::TIMER |
|
|
105 | |
|
|
106 | EV::loop_count => EV::iteration |
|
|
107 | EV::loop_depth => EV::depth |
|
|
108 | EV::loop_verify => EV::verify |
|
|
109 | |
|
|
110 | The loop object methods corresponding to the functions above have been |
|
|
111 | similarly renamed. |
