NAME

       AnyEvent::Impl::Glib - AnyEvent adaptor for Glib

SYNOPSIS

          use AnyEvent;
          use Glib;

          # this module gets loaded automatically as required

DESCRIPTION

       This module provides transparent support for AnyEvent. You don't have to do anything to
       make Glib work with AnyEvent except by loading Glib before creating the first AnyEvent
       watcher.

       Glib is probably the most inefficient event loop that has ever seen the light of the
       world: Glib not only scans all its watchers (really, ALL of them, whether I/O-related,
       timer-related or what not) during each loop iteration, it also does so multiple times and
       rebuilds the poll list for the kernel each time again, dynamically even.

       On the positive side, and most importantly, Glib generally works correctly, no quarrels
       there.

       If you create many watchers (as in: more than two), you might consider one of the
       Glib::EV, EV::Glib or Glib::Event modules that map Glib to other, more efficient, event
       loops.

       This module uses the default Glib main context for all its watchers.
