44POSIX optionally offers support for a monotonic clock source. EV
45can take advantage of this clock source to detect time jumps more
46reliably. Unfortunately, some systems are bound to be broken, so you can
47disable this here: you can completely disable the detection and use of
48the monotonic clock by answering 'n' here. Support for this clock type
49will otherwise be autodetected at both compile- and runtime. (this setting
50currently affects the use of nanosleep over select as well).

63POSIX optionally offers support for a (potentially) high-resolution
64realtime clock interface. In a good implementation, using it is faster
65than the normal method of using gettimeofday. Unfortunately, this option
66is also bound to be broken on some systems, and current EV versions do not
67actually call gettimeofday very often, so it defaults to no.

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.

94
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.
100

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
118the default here unless you run into compile problems in ev_poll.c.

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
132this to work, both your kernel and glibc have to support epoll, but if you
133can compile it, the detection will be done at runtime, and EV will safely
134fall back to using select when epoll isn't available. If unsure, accept
135the default.

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.

190Linux 4.19 introduced another event polling interface, "io_uring". While
191this API is far superior to epoll and almost rivals linuxaio, it also
192suffers from the same issues as kqueue typically does: only a subset of
193file types are supported (as of 5.2). It is also very buggy still, and
194most importantly, very very slow for most workloads. Therefore, this
195backend is not used by default, even when it is compiled in, and you have
196to request it explicitly, e.g. with LIBEV_FLAGS=128. If unsure, accept the
197default.

231EV can take advantage of kqueue on many BSD systems. Support for kqueue
232will be detected at runtime, with a safe fallback to other methods when it
233cannot be used.
234
235Note that kqueue is subtly broken on most operating systems, so by default
236it won't be used on many platforms, but you can still create your own
237event loop with kqueue backend if you ask specifically for it.
238
239Here is what we know:
240
241NetBSD: partially working in at least 3.1 and later. Yeah! :)
242FreeBSD: broken on at least 6.2-STABLE, spotty in later versions,
243 sockets *likely* work, ptys definitely don't.
244OpenBSD: reports indicate that it likely doesn't work
245 (similar problems as on FreeBSD).
246OS X: completely, utterly broken on at least <= 10.6.

260Similarly to the kqueue backend above, EV can take advantage of the
261solaris 10 event port interface. Support for event ports will be detected
262at runtime, with a safe fallback to other methods when it cannot be used.

264EOF

273EV needs the functions pthread_atfork and clock_gettime. On most systems
274you need some special libraries for this (such as -lrt and -lpthread). You
275can specify additional libraries to provide these calls (and any other
276required by EV) now, or accept the default.
277
278On GNU/Linux systems, EV uses the LSB 3.1 __register_atfork function
279to avoid the dependency on libpthread, and directly uses the clock_gettime
280syscall to avoid a dependency on librt.

295A backend of a different kind is the Linux inotify(7) interface, which can
296be used to speed up (and reduce resource consumption) of stat watchers. If
297you have the include file and libc support for it, it is usually a good
298idea to enable it, as kernel availability is detected at runtime.

311Another useful bit of functionality is the Linux eventfd, which is useful
312for faster signal handling (don't care) and intra-thread communications
313(more relevant). Kernel support for this will be probed at runtime, but
314your libc must contain the necessary wrapper. Glibc 2.7 and later should
315have this wrapper.

344Libev contains numerous internal assert() invocations to check for
345consistency and user errors. These are normally enabled, but most
346perl builds disable this error reporting mechanism by default. You
347can re-enable these asserts here. Enabling them might help you catch
348programming bugs earlier, but might cause a small slowdown. Also, failures
349will be reported by aboritng your program, instead of throwing a perl
350exception.
351
352If unsure, enable this if you only use this perl installation for
353development, and leave it off for use in production environments.

366Very rarely, people want to tweak EV even more, e.g. to exclude
367or include certain watcher types or backends. This can be done by adding
368extra -D options here, or via the EV_EXTRA_DEFS environment variable.
369
370For example, if you run into compile problems because of missing memory
371fences (or you just want extra performance), you can tell EV to not support
372smp and threads via -DEV_NO_THREADS.
