- Drop patches/patch-ecb.h, now upstream takes care.
(upstream)
- update 1.20 to 1.21
-------------------
1.21 Wed Feb 11 20:31:01 CET 2015
- upgrade ecb.h for C11 compatibility.
1.2 Fri Apr 11 06:22:38 CEST 2014
- perl5porters broke Async::Interrupt, BDB, EV, IO::AIO, OpenCL
without warning by switching the meaning of USE_SOCKETS_AS_HANDLES
in 5.18. What's so attractive about giving a shit about backwards
compatibility - I will never understand.
Revision history for Perl extension Async::Interrupt.
1.1 Wed Apr 25 00:46:08 CEST 2012
- new $async->handle method.
- new $async->pipe_drain method.
- use memory fences for !x86, and x86 future
proofing. use libecb for implementation.
pkgsrc changes:
- Add USE_LANGUAGES to mark it's an XS based module requiring a C Compiler
Upstream changes:
1.03 Tue Nov 24 14:31:10 CET 2009
- port to loser platform.
for devel/p5-AnyEvent.
This module implements a single feature only of interest to advanced perl
modules, namely asynchronous interruptions (think "UNIX signals", which are
very similar).
Sometimes, modules wish to run code asynchronously (in another thread, or
from a signal handler), and then signal the perl interpreter on certain
events. One common way is to write some data to a pipe and use an event
handling toolkit to watch for I/O events. Another way is to send a signal.
Those methods are slow, and in the case of a pipe, also not asynchronous -
it won't interrupt a running perl interpreter.
This module implements asynchronous notifications that enable you to signal
running perl code from another thread, asynchronously, and sometimes even
without using a single syscall.
