[PATCH] socket: allow exception-free nonblocking sendmsg/recvmsg

Added by normalperson (Eric Wong) almost 9 years ago. Updated almost 9 years ago.

Status:
Closed
Target version:
-
[ruby-core:69473]

Description

As documented before, exceptions are expensive and IO::Wait*able are too
common in socket applications to be the exceptional case. Datagram
sockets deserve the same API which stream sockets are allowed with
read_nonblock and write_nonblock.

Note: this does not offer a performance advantage under optimal
conditions when both ends are equally matched in speed, but it it
does make debug output cleaner by avoiding exceptions whenever
the receiver slows down.

I think I have only one more change I'd like to add for recv/recvmsg* APIs
in the future: destination buffers to reduce GC overhead

  • ext/socket/ancdata.c (bsock_sendmsg_internal, bsock_recvmsg_internal):
    support "exception: false" kwarg
  • ext/socket/init.c (rsock_s_recvfrom_nonblock):
    ditto
  • ext/socket/init.c (rsock_s_recvfrom_nonblock): use rsock_opt_false_p
  • ext/socket/socket.c (sock_connect_nonblock): ditto
  • ext/socket/rubysocket.h (rsock_opt_false_p): new function
  • ext/socket/basicsocket.c (bsock_recv_nonblock): update rdoc
  • ext/socket/udpsocket.c (udp_recvfrom_nonblock): ditto
  • test/socket/test_nonblock.rb: new tests
