If file descriptors get added and removed in rapid succession, the active
watcher thread might not take notice of it and continues running. However, add()
spawns a watcher thread whenever a file descriptor is added to an empty set.
This could result in multiple watcher threads, which is fixed by a proper
check for running watchers.
Instead of a pipe we use a TCP socketpair (can't select() a _pipe()), and
Windsock2 send/recv functions instead of read/write.
Currently supported (and required) are file descriptors provided by Winsock
only; we might use a separate mechanism for traditional file handles if
required (or switch to Windows events and WaitForMultipleObjects) for a future
version.
During shutdown, waiting for callbacks might never complete, as queued
callbacks might not get executed under certain conditions. Not the clean fix,
but works good enough for now.
Seen on Windows in vici tests.
While we don't add FDs with an active callback to the watched FDSET, we still
can get notifications for callbacks active due the asynchronous processing
of the same.
To avoid queue multiple callbacks, we check for queued callbacks before
activating new ones.
This should make sure we refresh the fdset if a user closes an FD it just
removed. Some selects() seem to complain about the bad FD before signaling the
notification pipe.
During daemon shutdown, users might call remove() after processor.set_threads(0)
has been called. This gets problematic, as a watch event might be unable
to signal completion when no threads are available anymore. Work around this
issue by cancelling waiters once processor.cancel() has been called.
