Hi, Any feedback on this point... for connection_driver, must I call tick() if I'm not interested in Heartbeats ?
Thanks, - Tom From: Tom Crowe Sent: Wednesday, October 25, 2023 5:44 PM To: users@qpid.apache.org Subject: RE: external event loop Thanks Cliff for your helpful answer to this topic way back on June 30th. "If you must manage the AMQP connection's IO yourself, then the connection_driver class is a solid choice. The gotchas are to make sure to call the tick() function regularly to preserve heartbeats and to note that both input to and output from the driver can generate new events to be dispatched." I am curious about the tick() function. Is preserving heartbeats the ONLY purpose of tick() ? I don't need to use the heartbeat feature in AMQP because there is a heartbeat at application level. So perhaps I don't need to call the tick() function at all ? Or does tick() service other needs e.g. message aging in queues OR timeouts related to settlement OR something else ? Thanks.

Found enough info to work from.
