Felix Palmen :freebsd: :c64:<p>Now that <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/swad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>swad</span></a> 0.7 is released, it's time to prepare a new release of <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/poser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>poser</span></a>, my own lib supporting <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/services" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>services</span></a> on <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/POSIX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>POSIX</span></a> systems, following a <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/reactor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>reactor</span></a> with <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/threadpool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>threadpool</span></a> design.</p><p>During development of swad, I moved poser from using strictly only POSIX APIs (with the scalability limits of e.g. <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/select" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>select</span></a>) to auto-detected support for <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/kqueue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>kqueue</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/epoll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>epoll</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/eventports" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>eventports</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/signalfd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>signalfd</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/timerfd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>timerfd</span></a> (so now it could, in theory(!), "compete" with e.g. libevent). I also fixed quite some hidden bugs, and added more base functionality, like a <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/dictionary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dictionary</span></a> using nested hashtables internally, or <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/async" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>async</span></a> tasks mimicking the async/await pattern known from e.g, <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/csharp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>csharp</span></a>. I also deprecated two features, the periodic and global "service tick" (superseded by individual timers) and the "resolve hosts" property of a "connection" (superseded by a separate resolve class).</p><p>I'll have to decide on a few things, e.g. whether I'll remove the deprecated stuff immediately and bump the major version of the "posercore" lib. I guess I'll do just that. I'd also like to add all the web-specific stuff (http 1.0/1.1 server) that's currently part of the swad code as a "poserweb" lib. This would get a major version of 0, indicating a generally unstable API/ABI as of now....</p><p>And then, I'd have to decide where certain utility classes belong to. The rate limiter is probably useful for things other than web, so it should probably go to core. What about url encoding/decoding, for example? 🤔</p><p>Stay tuned, something will come here, maybe helping you to write a nice service in plain <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/C" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>C</span></a> 😎:</p><p><a href="https://github.com/Zirias/poser" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">github.com/Zirias/poser</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>
Felix Palmen :freebsd: :c64:<p>First change since <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/swad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>swad</span></a> 0.2 will actually be a (huge?) improvement to my <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/poser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>poser</span></a> lib. So far, it was hardwired to use the good old <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/POSIX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>POSIX</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/select" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>select</span></a> call. This is perfectly fine for handling around up to 100 (or at least less than 1000, YMMV) clients.</p><p>Some <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/select" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>select</span></a> implementations offer defining the upper limit for checked file descriptors. Added support for that.</p><p>POSIX also specifies <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/poll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>poll</span></a>, which has very similar <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/scalability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>scalability</span></a> issues, but slightly different. Added support for this as well.</p><p>And then, I went on to add support for the <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a>-specific <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/epoll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>epoll</span></a> and <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/BSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BSD</span></a>-specific <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/kqueue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>kqueue</span></a> (<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/NetBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NetBSD</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/OpenBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenBSD</span></a>, ...) which are both designed to *solve* any scalability issues 🥳 </p><p>A little thing that slightly annoyed me about kqueue was that there's no support for temporarily changing the signal mask, so I had to do the silly dance shown in the screenshot. OTOH, it offers changing event filters and getting events in a single call, which I might try to even further optimize ... 😎</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/C" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>C</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/coding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>coding</span></a></p>

Any real-life application will do other things than just interacting with <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/X11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>X11</span></a>, so running your own event loop *is* a common scenario. And I refuse to do the stupid workaround seen a lot which dedicates a thread to xcb_wait_for_events() and friends.</p>
