There is libev also (not sure which one is better). One thing I really dislike in current event loop is how event_pipe (or GlobalEvents in master) works on Windows. Windows does not support select()/poll()/etc on pipes. GLib emulates polling using separate reader/writer thread. This is a significant overhead IMO considering what event_pipe is used for. The most straightforward implementation is to use Win32 events. However this requires an event loop that does polling using WaitForMultipleObjects() function instead of select(). Likely this is not possible with libevent/libev but needs checking. Probably separate socket pair could be used instead of pipe. This would at least eliminate extra-thread. -- Denis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Master Visual Studio, SharePoint, SQL, ASP.NET, C# 2012, HTML5, CSS, MVC, Windows 8 Apps, JavaScript and much more.
