kandi X-RAY | picoev Summary
a tiny, lightning fast event loop for network applications. the text below is copied from the [original publication] i am sure many programmers writing network applications have their own abstracting layers hiding the differences between various i/o multiplex apis, like select(2), poll(2), epoll(2), … and of course, i am one among them. while writing mycached ([see mycached: memcached protocol support for mysql for more information] i was at first considering of using [libev] for multiplexing socket i/os. [libevent] was not an option since it does not (yet) provide multithreading support. but it was a great pain for me to learn how to use libev. i do not mean that its is an ugly product. in fact, i think that it is a very well written, excellent library. however, for me it was too much a boring task to learn how the things are abstracted, already being familiar with the problems it tries to hide. so instead i thought it might be a good occasion to write my own library that could be used in any programs i may write in the future. the result is picoev, and it is faster than libevent or libev! the benchmark used is a re-modified version taken from

QUESTION
I am wondering if there is anything at the assembly level in x86-64 that allows you to sleep/wait, such that no instructions are run until the wait is done. I have seen the WAIT and PAUSE instructions, but I'm not sure they're related.
I would imagine it like this:

Answered 2019-Mar-22 at 08:48The basic instruction to do what you want is HALT. It stops executing instructions until an interrupt is received.
A newer instruction that is similar is MWAIT. It waits like halt, but it also wakes up when a particular memory location is written (either by a different CPU core or by an I/O device). MWAIT also puts the CPU in a lower power state than halt does. The MONITOR instruction is used to specify the memory location that will cause MWAIT to wake up.
The other types of events you mentioned are software constructs. The CPU instructions don’t know about keyboards, files, or network devices.
MWAIT and HALT are privileged instructions. If an application wants to put the CPU to sleep, it generally needs to call the OS, so the OS can schedule some other process, if there is one ready to run.
QUESTION
td;lr: trying to echo "Hello World" to an HTTP client but getting issues with the socket closing too soon and mysterious read errors from wrk benchmark tool.
I am trying to make a simple "Hello World" HTTP server with the picoev event loop library but the client/peer connection is dropping too soon and wrk benchmark tool returns read errors for whatever reason I'm not aware. This is the code I'm using:
...ANSWER
Answered 2018-Apr-20 at 00:31In this line of code:
write(fd, "HTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\nContent-Type: text/html\r\nContent-Length: 13\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\nHello, world!", ret);
You use ret
for the third parameter of your call to write()
. This parameter is used to indicate to write()
how many bytes should be written.
However, ret
was used to store the result of a call to read()
. Thus, there is no relationship between the value passed to write()
and the size of the message you want to send.
Fix this by initializing ret
with the length of the message you want to send.
