Hi,
I'm writing a UDP server where I set up 1 socket for multicast messages(SOCKET
A) and 1 for the wildcard address ANY(SOCKET B). These sockets are monitored as
IOChannels and added to the main event loop.
Problem
----------
In case of receiving a single multicast message I get 1 event on SOCKET A and 1
event on SOCKET B. This is expected, but now I want to make sure that the
events for SOCKET A is always handled before events SOCKET B. The reason I
don't want to use the event priority feature is that I'm concerned with
starvation of low priority events.
Observation
-------------
I have observed that the order of adding the IOChannels watches (SOCKET A/B) to
the Main loop affects the order of their handling. If I add the SOCKET A event
to the Main event loop before I add the SOCKET B event, SOCKET A events are
always handled first which is the behavior I want.
Question
-------------
1) Can this observed behavior be trusted or is it just a fluke?
2) Is my starvation concern unfounded?
3) Is there any other way to achieve what I want?
Thanks for your insights
