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

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

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

95 The select backend can operate in two modes. One uses the system-provided
96 fd_set and is usually limited to 1024 file descriptors (64 on windows),
97 the other requires your header files to define NFDBITS and declare a
98 suitable fd_mask type. If you run into problems compiling ev_select.c, you
99 can try forcing the use of the system fd_set here.

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

129 Select and poll make it hard to write efficient servers, especially if the
130 number of active connections is much lower than the watched ones. GNU/Linux
131 systems have a more scalable method called "epoll", which EV can use. For
132 this to work, both your kernel and glibc have to support epoll, but if you
133 can compile it, the detection will be done at runtime, and EV will safely
134 fall back to using select when epoll isn't available. If unsure, accept
135 the default.

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

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

190 Similarly to the epoll backend above, EV can take advantage of kqueue on
191 many BSD systems. Support for kqueue will be detected at runtime, with a
192 safe fallback to other methods when it cannot be used.
193
194 Note that kqueue is broken on most operating systems, so by default it
195 won't be used on many platforms, but you can still create your own event
196 loop with kqueue backend if you ask specifically for it.
197
198 Here is what we know:
199
200 NetBSD: partially working in at least 3.1 and later. Yeah! :)
201 FreeBSD: broken on at least 6.2-STABLE, spotty in later versions,
202 sockets *likely* work, ptys definitely don't.
203 OpenBSD: reports indicate that it likely doesn't work
204 (similar problems as on FreeBSD).
205 OS X: completely, utterly broken on at least <= 10.6.

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

232 EV needs the functions pthread_atfork and clock_gettime. On most systems
233 you need some special libraries for this (such as -lrt and -lpthread). You
234 can specify additional libraries to provide these calls (and any other
235 required by EV) now, or accept the default.
236
237 On GNU/Linux systems, EV uses the LSB 3.1 __register_atfork function
238 to avoid the dependency on libpthread, and directly uses the clock_gettime
239 syscall to avoid a dependency on librt.

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

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

303 Libev contains numerous internal assert() invocations to check for
304 consistency and user errors. These are normally enabled, but most
305 perl builds disable this error reporting mechanism by default. You
306 can re-enable these asserts here. Enabling them might help you catch
307 programming bugs earlier, but might cause a small slowdown. Also, failures
308 will be reported by aboritng your program, instead of throwing a perl
309 exception.
310
311 If unsure, enable this if you only use this perl installation for
312 development, and leave it off for use in production environments.

325 Very rarely, people want to tweak EV even more, e.g. to exclude
326 or include certain watcher types or backends. This can be done by adding
327 extra -D options here, or via the EV_EXTRA_DEFS environment variable.
328
329 For example, if you run into compile problems because of missing memory
330 fences (or you just want extra performance), you can tell EV to not support
331 smp and threads via -DEV_NO_THREADS.
332
