ev is a PECL extension providing inteface to libev library – high performance full-featured event loop written in C. ABOUT LIBEV Libev is an event loop: you register interest in certain events (such as a file descriptor being readable or a timeout occurring), and it will manage these event sources and provide your program with events. 那麼什麼是libev呢,從網上摘錄一段: libev 是高性能事件循環/事件模型的網絡庫,並且包含大量新特性。 它是繼lievent和Event perl module之後的一套全新網絡庫。它追求的目標:速度更快,bug更少,特性更多,體積更小。 www.2cto.com 它和libevent很像,按照作者的介紹,可以作為libevent的替代者,能夠提供更高的性能。並不需要復雜的配置。 看起來和之前提到的libevent大有淵源,但是這個擴展的作者顯然比較活躍,一周內提交了3個版本。 代碼示例 timer的使用 <?php // 創建一個timer並於2秒後觸發 $w1 = new EvTimer(2, 0, function () { echo "2 seconds elapsed\n"; }); // 創建一個timer並於2秒後觸發,每秒重復 // 直到我們手工停止 $w2 = new EvTimer(2, 1, function ($w) { echo "is called every second, is launched after 2 seconds\n"; echo "iteration = ", Ev::iteration(), PHP_EOL; // Stop the watcher after 5 iterations Ev::iteration() == 5 and $w->stop(); // Stop the watcher if further calls cause more than 10 iterations Ev::iteration() >= 10 and $w->stop(); }); // 創建一個已停止的timer,手工start才有效 $w_stopped = EvTimer::createStopped(10, 5, function($w) { echo "Callback of a timer created as stopped\n"; // Stop the watcher after 2 iterations Ev::iteration() >= 2 and $w->stop(); }); // Loop until Ev::stop() is called or all of watchers stop Ev::run(); // Start and look if it works $w_stopped->start(); echo "Run single iteration\n"; Ev::run(Ev::RUN_ONCE); echo "Restart the second watcher and try to handle the same events, but don't block\n"; $w2->again(); Ev::run(Ev::RUN_NOWAIT); $w = new EvTimer(10, 0, function() {}); echo "Running a blocking loop\n"; Ev::run(); echo "END\n"; ?> 輸出內容 2 seconds elapsed is called every second, is launched after 2 seconds iteration = 1 is called every second, is launched after 2 seconds iteration = 2 is called every second, is launched after 2 seconds iteration = 3 is called every second, is launched after 2 seconds iteration = 4 is called every second, is launched after 2 seconds iteration = 5 Run single iteration Callback of a timer created as stopped Restart the second watcher and try to handle the same events, but don't block Running a blocking loop is called every second, is launched after 2 seconds iteration = 8 is called every second, is launched after 2 seconds iteration = 9 is called every second, is launched after 2 seconds iteration = 10 END I/O事件 例1 <?php // Wait until STDIN is readable $w = new EvIo(STDIN, Ev::READ, function ($watcher, $revents) { echo "STDIN is readable\n"; }); Ev::run(Ev::RUN_ONCE); ?> 例2 <?php /* Use some async I/O to access a socket */ // `sockets' extension still logs warnings // for EINPROGRESS, EAGAIN/EWOULDBLOCK etc. error_reporting(E_ERROR); $e_nonblocking = array (/*EAGAIN or EWOULDBLOCK*/11, /*EINPROGRESS*/115); // Get the port for the WWW service $service_port = getservbyname('www', 'tcp'); // Get the IP address for the target host $address = gethostbyname('google.co.uk'); // Create a TCP/IP socket $socket = socket_create(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, SOL_TCP); if ($socket === FALSE) { echo "socket_create() failed: reason: " .socket_strerror(socket_last_error()) .
