New Website “Is It Really FOSS?” Tracks Transparency in Open Source Distribution Models
A new site reviews software projects to reveal if they’re truly FOSS, making complex licensing and distribution models easy to understand.
= IO-Reactor
An implementation of the Reactor design pattern for multiplexed asynchronous single-thread IO.
== Authors
Michael Granger ged@FaerieMUD.org
== Description
This module is a pure-Ruby implementation of an asynchronous multiplexed IO Reactor which is based on the Reactor design pattern found in Pattern-Oriented Software Architecture, Volume 2: Patterns for Concurrent and Networked Objects. It allows a single thread to demultiplex and dispatch events from one or more IO objects to the appropriate handler.
This module used to be called Ruby-Poll, and used to use the poll(2) system call, but this strategy was not portable, and didn't work with Ruby's threads. It now uses IO::select, which should work everywhere Ruby does.
I would greatly appreciate feedback on any aspect of this software. Suggestions, feature requests, questions, design critiques, and bug reports are most welcome. Relevant patches and minimal test cases are particularly helpful. I may be reached by email at ged@FaerieMUD.org.
== Requirements
Optional:
== Installation
$ su
If you have the Test::Unit module installed, you can run the test suite by doing:
$ ruby test.rb
