This module implements timers with a worker thread, select(), and a lot of //! witchcraft that turns out to be horribly inaccurate timers. The unfortunate //! part is that I'm at a loss of what else to do one these OSes. This is also //! why Linux has a specialized timerfd implementation and windows has its own //! implementation (they're more accurate than this one). //! //! The basic idea is that there is a worker thread that's communicated to via a //! channel and a pipe, the pipe is used by the worker thread in a select() //! syscall with a timeout. The timeout is the "next timer timeout" while the //! channel is used to send data over to the worker thread. //! //! Whenever the call to select() times out, then a channel receives a message. //! Whenever the call returns that the file descriptor has information, then the //! channel from timers is drained, enqueuing all incoming requests. //! //! The actual implementation of the helper thread is a sorted array of //! timers in terms of target firing date. The target is the absolute time at //! which the timer should fire. Timers are then re-enqueued after a firing if //! the repeat boolean is set. //! //! Naturally, all this logic of adding times and keeping track of //! relative/absolute time is a little lossy and not quite exact. I've done the //! best I could to reduce the amount of calls to 'now()', but there's likely //! still inaccuracies trickling in here and there. //! //! One of the tricky parts of this implementation is that whenever a timer is //! acted upon, it must cancel whatever the previous action was (if one is //! active) in order to act like the other implementations of this timer. In //! order to do this, the timer's inner pointer is transferred to the worker //! thread. Whenever the timer is modified, it first takes ownership back from //! the worker thread in order to modify the same data structure. This has the //! side effect of "cancelling" the previous requests while allowing a //! re-enqueuing later on. //! //!
