Event

Provides low level cross-platform primitives for constructing event loops, with support for select, kqueue, epoll and io_uring.

Development Status

Motivation

The initial proof-of-concept Async was built on NIO4r. It was perfectly acceptable and well tested in production, however being built on libev was a little bit limiting. I wanted to directly build my fiber scheduler into the fabric of the event loop, which is what this gem exposes - it is specifically implemented to support building event loops beneath the fiber scheduler interface, providing an efficient C implementation of all the core operations.

Usage

Please see the project documentation for more details.

  • Getting Started - This guide explains how to use io-event for non-blocking IO.

Releases

Please see the project releases for all releases.

v1.7.5

  • Fix process_wait race condition on EPoll that could cause a hang.
