78EV can use various backends with various portability issues. The select
79backend is the most portable and makes for a good fallback, but it can be
80limited to a low number of file descriptors and/or might not compile. If
81you have problems with compiling ev_select.c, you might try to play around
82with disabling it here, or forcing it to use the fd_set provided by your
83OS, via the next question. I highly recommend keeping it in.

75EV by default uses select, which makes it hard to write efficient servers,
76especially if the number of active conencitons is much lower than the open
77ones. GNU/Linux systems have a more scalable method called "epoll", which
78EV can use. For this to work, both your kernel and glibc have to support
79epoll, but if you can compile it, the detection will be done at runtime,
80and EV will safely fall back to using select when epoll isn't available.
81If unsure, accept the default.
82 94
83EOF 95The select backend can operate in two modes. One uses the system-provided
96fd_set and is usually limited to 1024 file descriptors (64 on windows),
97the other requires your header files to define NFDBITS and declare a
98suitable fd_mask type. If you run into problems compiling ev_select.c, you
99can try forcing the use of the system fd_set here.

115The second very portable backend is poll(2). It does not exist on windows
116and various versions of Mac OS X (and on the other versions it simply
117doesn't work), but works basically everywhere else. It is recommended to use

129Select and poll make it hard to write efficient servers, especially if the
130number of active connections is much lower than the watched ones. GNU/Linux
131systems have a more scalable method called "epoll", which EV can use. For

148Linux 4.18 introduced another event polling interface, this time using
149the Linux AIO API. While this API is far superior to epoll and almost
150rivals kqueue, it also suffers from the same issues as kqueue typically
151does: only a subset of file types are supported (as of 4.19, I have seen
152eventfd, pipes, sockets files and some devices, but no ttys). It also
153is subject arbitrary system-wide limits imposed on it. Therefore, this
154backend is not used by default, even when it is compiled in, and you have
155to request it explicitly, e.g. with LIBEV_FLAGS=64. If unsure, accept the
156default.

171The previously mentioned Linux AIO backend is experimental and will not
172be used unless requested explicitly. You can, howeer, choose to make ti a
173recommended basckend, which means it will be chosen if available even when
174not explicitly asked for, in preference to epoll on GNU/Linux. This option
175is likely temporary. When unsure, accept the default.

254A backend of a different kind is the Linux inotify(7) interface, which can
255be used to speed up (and reduce resource consumption) of stat watchers. If
256you have the include file and libc support for it, it is usually a good
257idea to enable it, as kernel availability is detected at runtime.

303Libev contains numerous internal assert() invocations to check for

305perl builds disable this error reporting mechanism by default. You
306can re-enable these asserts here. Enabling them might help you catch
307programming bugs earlier, but might cause a small slowdown. Also, failures
308will be reported by aboritng your program, instead of throwing a perl

325Very rarely, people want to tweak EV even more, e.g. to exclude
326or include certain watcher types or backends. This can be done by adding
327extra -D options here, or via the EV_EXTRA_DEFS environment variable.
328
329For example, if you run into compile problems because of missing memory
330fences (or you just want extra performance), you can tell EV to not support
