If the timer callback happens to run first, and does ev_io_stop on the related io watcher, libev won't try to run the io callback (even if it had pending events for the same eventloop iteration). You can set the order of execution for related events in a single eventloop iteration by setting watcher priorities (e.g. for standard network stuff, you might set the io watcher as higher priority than the idle timeout watcher, so that if they trigger on the same loop iteration the connection isn't unnecessarily killed. Or if proxying buffered network traffic, you might set write callbacks higher than read to minimize peak buffer allocation). _______________________________________________ libev mailing list libev@lists.schmorp.de http://lists.schmorp.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/libev
