655
656[VERY EXPERIMENTAL]
657
658Sets a feeder/generator on this group: every group can have an attached
659generator that generates requests if idle. The idea behind this is that,
660although you could just queue as many requests as you want in a group,
661this might starve other requests for a potentially long time. For
662example, C<aio_scandir> might generate hundreds of thousands C<aio_stat>
663requests, delaying any later requests for a long time.
664
665To avoid this, and allow incremental generation of requests, you can
666instead a group and set a feeder on it that generates those requests. The
667feeder will be called whenever there are few enough (see C<feeder_limit>,
668below) requests active in the group itself and is expected to queue more
669requests.
670
671The feeder can queue as many requests as it likes (i.e. C<add> does not
672impose any limits).
673
674If the feeder does not queue more requests when called, it will be
675automatically removed from the group.
676
677If the feeder limit is C<0>, it will be set to C<2> automatically.
678
679Example:
680
681 # stat all files in @files, but only ever use four aio requests concurrently:
682
683 my $grp = aio_group sub { print "finished\n" };
684 $grp->feeder_limit (4);
685 $grp->set_feeder (sub {
686 my $file = pop @files
687 or return;
688
689 add $grp aio_stat $file, sub { ... };
690 });
691
692=item $grp->feeder_limit ($num)
693
694Sets the feeder limit for the group: The feeder will be called whenever
695the group contains less than this many requests.
696
697Setting the limit to C<0> will pause the feeding process.
