Re: Is POE thread safe?

[Rocco Caputo]

I think you misunderstand.  POE synchronously calls all event  
handlers.  It's up to other modules or applications to introduce  
preemptive concurrency.

As presented, the examples you've shown don't introduce preemptive  
concurrency, so there should be no problem with them accessing  
"shared" resources.

Thanks for reply.


"In this case" do you mean in POE::Component::Client::HTTP or in
generic POE handler?

For example, if I create session this way...

for (1..10) {
   POE::Session->create(
     inline_states => {
       _start    => \&handler_start,
       increment => \&handler_increment,
       _stop     => \&handler_stop,
     }
   );
 }




Is the handlers - "handler_increment" also synchronized so my global
object can be safely accessed?

Thanks.

Thanks.
