Felix Palmen :freebsd: :c64:<p>The next release of <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/swad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>swad</span></a> will probably bring not a single new feature, but focus on improvements, especially regarding <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/performance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>performance</span></a>. Support for using <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/kqueue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>kqueue</span></a> (<a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/FreeBSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FreeBSD</span></a> et al) to handle <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/signals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>signals</span></a> is a part of it (which is done and works). Still unsure whether I'll also add support for <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Linux</span></a>' <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/signalfd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>signalfd</span></a>. Using kqueue also as a better backend for <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/timers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>timers</span></a> is on the list.</p><p>Another hopefully quite relevant change is here:</p><p><a href="https://github.com/Zirias/poser/commit/798f23547295f89fa0c751f0e707c3474b5c689c" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">github.com/Zirias/poser/commit</span><span class="invisible">/798f23547295f89fa0c751f0e707c3474b5c689c</span></a></p><p>In short, so far my <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/poser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>poser</span></a> lib was always awaiting readiness notification (from kqueue, or <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/epoll" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>epoll</span></a> on Linux, or select/poll for other platforms) before doing any read or write on a socket. This is the ideal approach for reads, because in the common case, a socket is NOT ready for reading ... our kernel must have received something from the remote end first. But for writes, it's not so ideal. The common case is that a socket IS ready to write (because there's space left in the kernel's send buffers). So, just try it, and only register for notifications if it ever fails, makes more sense. Avoids pointless waiting and pointless events, and e.g. with epoll, even unnecessary syscalls. 😉</p>

That's a problem, because these are very limited (typically 32). So I had to find ways to share timer instances in my application code, also ugly.</p><p>Moving the implementation to my "poser" lib allows to use signals for notification and to dynamically map between POSIX timers and instances of the timer class, so I only need as many POSIX timers as timers are concurrently running.

Fahim FarookA few years back, I wrote a timer app for my wife since she was tired of how you can’t have more than one iOS timer running at a time. She would want to have two or more timers running at the same time and you just couldn’t do it with the default iOS timer …<br><br>At that time, I was heavily into Flutter and so did the app in Flutter so that we could have the timer on either iOS or Android.<br><br>After some time, my wife stopped using the app for some reason (we don’t remember why now) and I stopped working on it.<br><br>A few days ago, I wanted a recurring timer — one which would fire hourly for say 10 hours during the day and couldn’t find something that worked and wasn’t full of ads 🙂 So I went back to my old timer app.<br><br>So much time had passed that the Flutter app took me about a day to get back to working condition. But I kept feeling as if the process was slow … too slow. Just compiling the code to run the app would take a couple of minutes and that just added up. Plus there were other issues.<br><br>So I did some scrounging around and found that I had another version of the code — an early attempt to turn the app into a SwiftUI app. It took me only about a day of work and I already have that doing the basic stuff and getting close to feature parity to the Flutter version.<br><br>It’s interesting how different languages evolve and change over time and what you thought was the best at one point no longer is …<br><br>Screenshots for comparison below.<br><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://a.farook.org/tag/timers" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Timers</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://a.farook.org/tag/coding" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Coding</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://a.farook.org/tag/ios" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#iOS</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://a.farook.org/tag/flutter" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Flutter</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://a.farook.org/tag/swiftui" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SwiftUI</a><br><a href="https://a.farook.org/media/9ecf2a5057df9b73dab43ca8224ebce53ee38ffb8e3c603a7e6dbe5bb1bb0ecc.jpeg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Screenshot of an iOS app with m…</a><br><a href="https://a.farook.org/media/48ad52db1081143893aaec0592e28eafc47e8d08f09398dbbeb8343552717eb3.jpeg" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Screenshot of an iOS app writte…</a>
