38POSIX optionally offers support for a monotonic clock source. EV
39can take advantage of this clock source to detect time jumps
40reliably. Unfortunately, some systems are bound to be broken, so you can
41disable this here: you can completely disable the detection and use of
42the monotonic clock by answering 'n' here. Support for this clock type
43will otherwise be autodetected at both compile- and runtime. (this setting
44currently affects the use of nanosleep over select as well).

55POSIX optionally offers support for a (potentially) high-resolution
56realtime clock interface. In a good implementation, using it is faster
57than the normal method of using gettimeofday. Unfortunately, this option
58is also bound to be broken on some systems, so you can disable use and
59probing of this feature altogether here. Otherwise support for this clock
60type will be autodetected at compiletime.

71Another useful bit of functionality is the Linux eventfd, which is useful
72for faster signal handling (don't care) and intra-thread communications
73(mostly useful for embedding). Kernel support for this will be probed at
74runtime, but your libc must contain the necessary wrapper. Glibc 2.7 and
75later should have this wrapper.

86EV can use various backends with various portability issue. The select
87backend is the most portable and makes for a good fallback, but it can be
88limited to a low number of file descriptors and/or might not compile. If
89you have problems with compiling ev_select.c, you might try to play around
90with disabling it here, or forcing it to use the fd_set provided by your
91OS, via the next question. I highly recommend keeping it in.
92
93EOF

95if (prompt ("Enable select backend (y/n)?", "y") =~ /[yY]/) {
96 $DEFINE .= " -DEV_USE_SELECT=1";

103The select backend can operate in two modes. One uses the system-provided
104fd_set and is usually limited to 1024 file descriptors (64 on windows),
105the other requires your header files to define NFDBITS and declare a
106suitable fd_mask type. If you run into problems compiling ev_select.c, you
107can try forcing the use of the system fd_set here.
108
109EOF
110
111 if (prompt ("Force use of system fd_set for select backend (y/n)?", "n") =~ /[yY]/) {

113 }
114} else {
115 $DEFINE .= " -DEV_USE_SELECT=0";

123The second very portable backend is poll(2). It does not exist on windows
124and various versions of Mac OS X (and on the other versions it simply
125doesn't work), but works basically everywhere else. It is recommended to use
126the default here unless you run into compile problems in ev_poll.c.
127
128EOF
129
130$DEFINE .= " -DEV_USE_POLL=" . (0 + (prompt ("Enable poll backend (y/n)?", (-e "/usr/include/poll.h") ? "y" : "n") =~ /[yY]/));

137Select and poll make it hard to write efficient servers, especially if the
138number of active connections is much lower than the watched ones. GNU/Linux
139systems have a more scalable method called "epoll", which EV can use. For
140this to work, both your kernel and glibc have to support epoll, but if you
141can compile it, the detection will be done at runtime, and EV will safely
142fall back to using select when epoll isn't available. If unsure, accept
143the default.
144
145EOF
146
147$DEFINE .= " -DEV_USE_EPOLL=" . (0 + (prompt ("Enable epoll backend (y/n)?", (-e "/usr/include/sys/epoll.h") ? "y" : "n") =~ /[yY]/));

153
154Similarly to the epoll backend above, EV can take advantage of kqueue on
155many BSD systems. Support for kqueue will be detected at runtime, with a
156safe fallback to other methods when it cannot be used.
157
158Note that kqueue is broken on most operating systems, so by default it
159won't be used on many platforms, but you can still create your own event
160loop with qkueue backend.
161
162Here is what we know:
163
164NetBSD: partially working in at least 3.1. Yeah! :)
165FreeBSD: broken on at least 6.2-STABLE,
166 sockets *likely* work, ptys definitely don't.
167OpenBSD: reports indicate that it likely doesn't work
168 (similar problems as on FreeBSD).
169OS X: completely, utterly broken on at least < 10.5.

182Similarly to the kqueue backend above, EV can take advantage of the
183solaris 10 event port interface. Support for event ports will be detected
184at runtime, with a safe fallback to other methods when it cannot be used.

195EV needs the functions pthread_atfork and clock_gettime. On most systems
196you need some special libraries for this (such as -lrt and -lpthread). You
197can specify additional libraries to provide these calls (and any other
198required by EV) now, or accept the default.

212A backend of a different kind is the Linux inotify(7) interface, which can
213be used to speed up (and reduce resource consumption) of stat watchers. If
214you have it, it is usually a good idea to enable it.
