Hi,

Has anyone got any examples of using (select|poll|epoll) directly from D. Yes I can work it out from first principles, but it would be great to see what others have done in the past so as to make use of their work.

Do you know about vibe.d's eventcore?

I don't have a simplified example but I did use it in my simpledisplay.d

https://github.com/adamdruppe/arsd/blob/master/simpledisplay.d#L2526

and my really bad eventloop.d

https://github.com/adamdruppe/arsd/blob/master/eventloop.d#L540


it is basically the same as you'd use it in C.

No. I looked at dlang-libevent (which is packaged on Debian) and dlang- libev (which is not packaged for Debian) and realised I don't need another full on event loop in this application. I really do just need a seemingly infinite loop alternately testing one fd for readability with a timeout and then a receiveTimeout on the input channel of the thread. To do anything else is to have too much infrastructure doing nothing.

The problem is going to be that DInotify isn't going to let me get at the file descripter to sue with select, poll, or epoll.

The online documentation doesn't seem to acknowledge the existence of core.sys package! So how to find core.sys.linux.epoll?

The core.sys stuff just includes operating system headers. But I think I grepped it.

My documentation site lists the names too http://dpldocs.info/experimental-docs/core.sys.linux.epoll.html though it doesn't show the actual functions (since they lack doc comments in the original D source), they are the same as C, so the man page link in that page will show you a bit more.

You might want to browse the site there to see a bit more, there's some nice stuff hidden in the core namespace the main site doesn't mention (yikes).
