How do you use AIO and epoll together in a single

问题:

How can you combine AIO and epoll together in a single event loop?

Google finds lots of talk from 2002 and 2003 about unifying them, but its unclear if anything happened, or if it's possible.

Has anyone rolled-their-own with an epoll loop using eventfd for the aio signal?

回答1:

try libevent:

there are patches to support both.

回答2:

you can see http://www.xmailserver.org/eventfd-aio-test.c for a sample of aio and eventfd

Tried eventfd with epoll?

"A key point about an eventfd file descriptor is that it can be monitored just like any other file descriptor using select(2), poll(2), or epoll(7)."

回答4:

FreeBSD supports AIO together with Kqueue, the AIO completion can be monitored by the Kqueue interface.
