Hi!
Paul's observations in his blog yesterday on VIO using alarms caught
my attention. It has been a while since I looked at VIO and while it
is a back burner debate I have always thought that it should behave
more async like then what it does today.
To that end I am going to be removing the alarms bits around sockets
and just beefing it up to instead use non-block IO under the same
manner that we did for libmemcached (and in memcached). Does anyone
see why this should be optional? I can certainly see making the
timeout optional but the use of non-block just seems obvious.
Any opinions?
Cheers,
-Brian
BTW from comments I think that alarm was added for mit-pthread... time
far long ago before we had solid non-block across most platforms.
