39POSIX optionally offers support for a monotonic clock source. EV
40can take advantage of this clock source to detect time jumps
41reliably. Unfortunately, some systems are bound to be broken, so you can
42disable this here: you can completely disable the detection and use of
43the monotonic clock by answering 'n' here. Support for this clock type
44will otherwise be autodetected at both compile- and runtime. (this setting
45currently affects the use of nanosleep over select as well).

56POSIX optionally offers support for a (potentially) high-resolution
57realtime clock interface. In a good implementation, using it is faster
58than the normal method of using gettimeofday. Unfortunately, this option
59is also bound to be broken on some systems, so you can disable use and
60probing of this feature altogether here. Otherwise support for this clock
61type will be autodetected at compiletime.

72EV can use various backends with various portability issue. The select
73backend is the most portable and makes for a good fallback, but it can be
74limited to a low number of file descriptors and/or might not compile. If
75you have problems with compiling ev_select.c, you might try to play around
76with disabling it here, or forcing it to use the fd_set provided by your
77OS, via the next question. I highly recommend keeping it in.
78
79EOF

81if (prompt ("Enable select backend (y/n)?", "y") =~ /[yY]/) {

89The select backend can operate in two modes. One uses the system-provided
90fd_set and is usually limited to 1024 file descriptors (64 on windows),
91the other requires your header files to define NFDBITS and declare a
92suitable fd_mask type. If you run into problems compiling ev_select.c, you
93can try forcing the use of the system fd_set here.
94
95EOF
96
97 if (prompt ("Force use of system fd_set for select backend (y/n)?", "n") =~ /[yY]/) {

109The second very portable backend is poll(2). It does not exist on windows
110and various versions of Mac OS X (and on the other versions it simply
111doesn't work), but works basically everywhere else. It is recommended to use
112the default here unless you run into compile problems in ev_poll.c.
113
114EOF
115

123Select and poll make it hard to write efficient servers, especially if the
124number of active connections is much lower than the watched ones. GNU/Linux
125systems have a more scalable method called "epoll", which EV can use. For
126this to work, both your kernel and glibc have to support epoll, but if you
127can compile it, the detection will be done at runtime, and EV will safely
128fall back to using select when epoll isn't available. If unsure, accept
129the default.
130
131EOF
132
133my $can_epoll = -e "/usr/include/sys/epoll.h";
134$can_epoll = $ENV{EV_EPOLL} if exists $ENV{EV_EPOLL};

142Similarly to the epoll backend above, EV can take advantage of kqueue on
143many BSD systems. Support for kqueue will be detected at runtime, with a
144safe fallback to other methods when it cannot be used.
145
146Note that kqueue is broken on most operating systems, so by default it
147won't be used on many platforms, but you can still create your own event
148loop with kqueue backend.
149
150Here is what we know:
151
152NetBSD: partially working in at least 3.1. Yeah! :)
153FreeBSD: broken on at least 6.2-STABLE,
154 sockets *likely* work, ptys definitely don't.
155OpenBSD: reports indicate that it likely doesn't work
156 (similar problems as on FreeBSD).
157OS X: completely, utterly broken on at least < 10.5.

170Similarly to the kqueue backend above, EV can take advantage of the
171solaris 10 event port interface. Support for event ports will be detected
172at runtime, with a safe fallback to other methods when it cannot be used.
173
174EOF

183EV needs the functions pthread_atfork and clock_gettime. On most systems
184you need some special libraries for this (such as -lrt and -lpthread). You
185can specify additional libraries to provide these calls (and any other
186required by EV) now, or accept the default.
187
188EOF

200A backend of a different kind is the Linux inotify(7) interface, which can
201be used to speed up (and reduce resource consumption) of stat watchers. If
202you have it, it is usually a good idea to enable it.
203
204EOF
205
206my $can_inotify = -e "/usr/include/sys/inotify.h";
207$can_inotify = $ENV{EV_INOTIFY} if exists $ENV{EV_INOTIFY};

215Another useful bit of functionality is the Linux eventfd, which is useful
216for faster signal handling (don't care) and intra-thread communications
217(more relevant). Kernel support for this will be probed at runtime, but
218your libc must contain the necessary wrapper. Glibc 2.7 and later should
219have this wrapper.
