244 | Here are the gory details of what ev_loop does: |
|
|
245 | |
|
|
246 | 1. If there are no active watchers (reference count is zero), return. |
|
|
247 | 2. Queue and immediately call all prepare watchers. |
|
|
248 | 3. If we have been forked, recreate the kernel state. |
|
|
249 | 4. Update the kernel state with all outstanding changes. |
|
|
250 | 5. Update the "event loop time". |
|
|
251 | 6. Calculate for how long to block. |
|
|
252 | 7. Block the process, waiting for events. |
|
|
253 | 8. Update the "event loop time" and do time jump handling. |
|
|
254 | 9. Queue all outstanding timers. |
|
|
255 | 10. Queue all outstanding periodics. |
|
|
256 | 11. If no events are pending now, queue all idle watchers. |
|
|
257 | 12. Queue all check watchers. |
|
|
258 | 13. Call all queued watchers in reverse order (i.e. check watchers first). |
|
|
259 | 14. If ev_unloop has been called or EVLOOP_ONESHOT or EVLOOP_NONBLOCK |
