1159 | =head2 WATCHER STATES |
|
|
1160 | |
|
|
1161 | There are various watcher states mentioned throughout this manual - |
|
|
1162 | active, pending and so on. In this section these states and the rules to |
|
|
1163 | transition between them will be described in more detail - and while these |
|
|
1164 | rules might look complicated, they usually do "the right thing". |
|
|
1165 | |
|
|
1166 | =over 4 |
|
|
1167 | |
|
|
1168 | =item initialiased |
|
|
1169 | |
|
|
1170 | Before a watcher can be registered with the event looop it has to be |
|
|
1171 | initialised. This can be done with a call to C<ev_TYPE_init>, or calls to |
|
|
1172 | C<ev_init> followed by the watcher-specific C<ev_TYPE_set> function. |
|
|
1173 | |
|
|
1174 | In this state it is simply some block of memory that is suitable for use |
|
|
1175 | in an event loop. It can be moved around, freed, reused etc. at will. |
|
|
1176 | |
|
|
1177 | =item started/running/active |
|
|
1178 | |
|
|
1179 | Once a watcher has been started with a call to C<ev_TYPE_start> it becomes |
|
|
1180 | property of the event loop, and is actively waiting for events. While in |
|
|
1181 | this state it cannot be accessed (except in a few documented ways), moved, |
|
|
1182 | freed or anything else - the only legal thing is to keep a pointer to it, |
|
|
1183 | and call libev functions on it that are documented to work on active watchers. |
|
|
1184 | |
|
|
1185 | =item pending |
|
|
1186 | |
|
|
1187 | If a watcher is active and libev determines that an event it is interested |
|
|
1188 | in has occurred (such as a timer expiring), it will become pending. It will |
|
|
1189 | stay in this pending state until either it is stopped or its callback is |
|
|
1190 | about to be invoked, so it is not normally pending inside the watcher |
|
|
1191 | callback. |
|
|
1192 | |
|
|
1193 | The watcher might or might not be active while it is pending (for example, |
|
|
1194 | an expired non-repeating timer can be pending but no longer active). If it |
|
|
1195 | is stopped, it can be freely accessed (e.g. by calling C<ev_TYPE_set>), |
|
|
1196 | but it is still property of the event loop at this time, so cannot be |
|
|
1197 | moved, freed or reused. And if it is active the rules described in the |
|
|
1198 | previous item still apply. |
|
|
1199 | |
|
|
1200 | It is also possible to feed an event on a watcher that is not active (e.g. |
|
|
1201 | via C<ev_feed_event>), in which case it becomes pending without being |
|
|
1202 | active. |
|
|
1203 | |
|
|
1204 | =item stopped |
|
|
1205 | |
|
|
1206 | A watcher can be stopped implicitly by libev (in which case it might still |
|
|
1207 | be pending), or explicitly by calling its C<ev_TYPE_stop> function. The |
|
|
1208 | latter will clear any pending state the watcher might be in, regardless |
|
|
1209 | of whether it was active or not, so stopping a watcher explicitly before |
|
|
1210 | freeing it is often a good idea. |
|
|
1211 | |
|
|
1212 | While stopped (and not pending) the watcher is essentially in the |
|
|
1213 | initialised state, that is it can be reused, moved, modified in any way |
|
|
1214 | you wish. |

|
|
1397 | Before a watcher can be registered with the event looop it has to be |
|
|
1398 | initialised. This can be done with a call to C<ev_TYPE_init>, or calls to |
|
|
1399 | C<ev_init> followed by the watcher-specific C<ev_TYPE_set> function. |
|
|
1400 | |
|
|
1401 | In this state it is simply some block of memory that is suitable for use |
|
|
1402 | in an event loop. It can be moved around, freed, reused etc. at will. |
|
|
1403 | |

|
1404 | =item started/running/active |
|
|
1405 | |
|
|
1406 | Once a watcher has been started with a call to C<ev_TYPE_start> it becomes |
|
|
1407 | property of the event loop, and is actively waiting for events. While in |
|
|
1408 | this state it cannot be accessed (except in a few documented ways), moved, |
|
|
1409 | freed or anything else - the only legal thing is to keep a pointer to it, |
|
|
1410 | and call libev functions on it that are documented to work on active watchers. |
|
|
1411 | |
|
|
1412 | =item pending |
|
|
1413 | |
|
|
1414 | If a watcher is active and libev determines that an event it is interested |
|
|
1415 | in has occurred (such as a timer expiring), it will become pending. It will |
|
|
1416 | stay in this pending state until either it is stopped or its callback is |
|
|
1417 | about to be invoked, so it is not normally pending inside the watcher |
|
|
1418 | callback. |
|
|
1419 | |
|
|
1420 | The watcher might or might not be active while it is pending (for example, |
|
|
1421 | an expired non-repeating timer can be pending but no longer active). If it |
|
|
1422 | is stopped, it can be freely accessed (e.g. by calling C<ev_TYPE_set>), |
|
|
1423 | but it is still property of the event loop at this time, so cannot be |
|
|
1424 | moved, freed or reused. And if it is active the rules described in the |
|
|
1425 | previous item still apply. |
|
|
1426 | |
|
|
1427 | It is also possible to feed an event on a watcher that is not active (e.g. |
|
|
1428 | via C<ev_feed_event>), in which case it becomes pending without being |
|
|
1429 | active. |
|
|
1430 | |
|
|
1431 | =item stopped |
|
|
1432 | |
|
|
1433 | A watcher can be stopped implicitly by libev (in which case it might still |
|
|
1434 | be pending), or explicitly by calling its C<ev_TYPE_stop> function. The |
|
|
1435 | latter will clear any pending state the watcher might be in, regardless |
|
|
1436 | of whether it was active or not, so stopping a watcher explicitly before |
|
|
1437 | freeing it is often a good idea. |
|
|
1438 | |
|
|
1439 | While stopped (and not pending) the watcher is essentially in the |
|
|
1440 | initialised state, that is it can be reused, moved, modified in any way |
|
|
1441 | you wish. |
