This is a high-performance native event loop abstraction for D, focused on asynchronous I/O and GUI message integration. The API is callback (delegate) based. For a higher level fiber based abstraction, take a look at vibe.d.

The API documentation is part of vibe.d:

• EventDriver
• eventDriver
• Experimental eventcore.socket

¹ planned, but not currenly implemented ² experimental

The following compilers are tested and supported:

• DMD 2.103.0
• DMD 2.086.1
• LDC 1.32.0
• LDC 1.16.0

¹ Manually, by adopting the X11 display connection socket

² Systems other than Linux use a polling implementation

The DUB configuration meachnism can be used to force choosing a particular event driver implementation. The following configurations are available:

EventcoreCFRunLoopDriver: Forces using the CFRunLoop driver (for DUB, use the "cfrunloop" configuration instead) EventcoreKqueueDriver: Forces using the kqueue driver (for DUB, use the "kqueue" configuration instead) EventcoreWinAPIDriver: Forces using the WinAPI driver (for DUB, use the "winapi" configuration instead) EventcoreLibasyncDriver: Forces using the libasync driver (for DUB, use the "libasync" configuration instead) EventcoreSelectDriver: Forces using the select driver (for DUB, use the "select" configuration instead) EventcoreUseGAIA: Forces using getaddressinfo_a for the epoll driver (for DUB, use the "epoll-gaia" configuration instead)

Several version identifiers can be set to configure the behavior of the library at compile time. Simply insert any of the following identifiers as a "version" to the compiler command line or into your DUB recipe:

dub.sdl:

versions "EventCoreSilenceLeakWarnings"

dub.json:

{
	...
	"versions": ["EventCoreSilenceLeakWarnings"]
	...
}

• EventCoreSilenceLeakWarnings: Disables checking for leaked handles at shutdown
• EventcoreCFRunLoopDriver: Forces using the CFRunLoop driver (for DUB, use the "cfrunloop" configuration instead)
• EventcoreKqueueDriver: Forces using the kqueue driver (for DUB, use the "kqueue" configuration instead)
• EventcoreWinAPIDriver: Forces using the WinAPI driver (for DUB, use the "winapi" configuration instead)
• EventcoreLibasyncDriver: Forces using the libasync driver (for DUB, use the "libasync" configuration instead)
• EventcoreSelectDriver: Forces using the select driver (for DUB, use the "select" configuration instead)
• EventcoreUseGAIA: Forces using getaddressinfo_a for the epoll driver (for DUB, use the "epoll-gaia" configuration instead)

For additional debug output, the following debug identifiers are available. When building with DUB, you can specify them similar to version identifiers, but using the debugVersions directive instead:

• EventCoreLogDNS: Prints detailed information about DNS lookups
• EventCoreLeakTrace: Gathers stack traces when allocating handles to assist in fixing leaked handles
• EventCoreEpollDebug: Outputs epoll event details
• EventCoreLogFiles: Outputs detailed logging for file operations carried out through the threadedfile implementation

• Error code reporting
• Enqueued writes
• Use the type system to prohibit passing thread-local handles to foreign threads
