Implements interfaces: twisted.internet.interfaces.IReactorFDSet

The CoreFoundation reactor.

You probably want to use this via the install API.

Method __init__ Undocumented
Method installWaker Override installWaker in order to use _WakerPlus; otherwise this should be exactly the same as the parent implementation.
Method addReader Implement IReactorFDSet.addReader.
Method addWriter Implement IReactorFDSet.addWriter.
Method removeReader Implement IReactorFDSet.removeReader.
Method removeWriter Implement IReactorFDSet.removeWriter.
Method removeAll Implement IReactorFDSet.removeAll.
Method getReaders Implement IReactorFDSet.getReaders.
Method getWriters Implement IReactorFDSet.getWriters.
Method mainLoop Run the runner (CFRunLoopRun or something that calls it), which runs the run loop until crash() is called.
Method callLater Implement IReactorTime.callLater.
Method stop Implement IReactorCore.stop.
Method crash Implement IReactorCore.crash
Method iterate Emulate the behavior of iterate() for things that want to call it, by letting the loop run for a little while and then scheduling a timed call to exit it.
Instance Variable _fdmap a dictionary, mapping an integer (a file descriptor) to a 4-tuple of:
  • source: a CFRunLoopSource; the source associated with this socket.
  • socket: a CFSocket wrapping the file descriptor.
  • descriptor: an IReadDescriptor and/or IWriteDescriptor provider.
  • read-write: a 2-list of booleans: respectively, whether this descriptor is currently registered for reading or registered for writing.
Instance Variable _idmap a dictionary, mapping the id() of an IReadDescriptor or IWriteDescriptor to a fd in _fdmap. Implemented in this manner so that we don't have to rely (even more) on the hashability of IReadDescriptor providers, and we know that they won't be collected since these are kept in sync with _fdmap. Necessary because the .fileno() of a file descriptor may change at will, so we need to be able to look up what its file descriptor used to be, so that we can look it up in _fdmap
Instance Variable _cfrunloop the CFRunLoop pyobjc object wrapped by this reactor.
Instance Variable _inCFLoop Is CFRunLoopRun currently running? (type: bool)
Instance Variable _currentSimulator if a CFTimer is currently scheduled with the CF run loop to run Twisted callLater calls, this is a reference to it. Otherwise, it is None
Method _socketCallback The socket callback issued by CFRunLoop. This will issue doRead or doWrite calls to the IReadDescriptor and IWriteDescriptor registered with the file descriptor that we are being notified of.
Method _watchFD Register a file descriptor with the CFRunLoop, or modify its state so that it's listening for both notifications (read and write) rather than just one; used to implement addReader and addWriter.
Method _flag2idx Convert a kCFSocket... constant to an index into the read/write state list (_READ or _WRITE) (the 4th element of the value of self._fdmap).
Method _unwatchFD Unregister a file descriptor with the CFRunLoop, or modify its state so that it's listening for only one notification (read or write) as opposed to both; used to implement removeReader and removeWriter.
Method _moveCallLaterSooner No summary
Method _scheduleSimulate Schedule a call to self.runUntilCurrent. This will cancel the currently scheduled call if it is already scheduled.
Method _stopNow Immediately stop the CFRunLoop (which must be running!).

_cfrunloop =
the CFRunLoop pyobjc object wrapped by this reactor.
_inCFLoop =
Is CFRunLoopRun currently running? (type: bool)
_currentSimulator =
if a CFTimer is currently scheduled with the CF run loop to run Twisted callLater calls, this is a reference to it. Otherwise, it is None
def __init__(self, runLoop=None, runner=None): (source)
def installWaker(self): (source)

Override installWaker in order to use _WakerPlus; otherwise this should be exactly the same as the parent implementation.

def _socketCallback(self, cfSocket, callbackType, ignoredAddress, ignoredData, context): (source)

The socket callback issued by CFRunLoop. This will issue doRead or doWrite calls to the IReadDescriptor and IWriteDescriptor registered with the file descriptor that we are being notified of.

ParameterscfSocketThe CFSocket which has got some activity.
callbackTypeThe type of activity that we are being notified of. Either kCFSocketReadCallBack or kCFSocketWriteCallBack.
ignoredAddressUnused, because this is not used for either of the callback types we register for.
ignoredDataUnused, because this is not used for either of the callback types we register for.
contextThe data associated with this callback by CFSocketCreateWithNative (in CFReactor._watchFD). A 2-tuple of (int, CFRunLoopSource).
def _watchFD(self, fd, descr, flag): (source)

Register a file descriptor with the CFRunLoop, or modify its state so that it's listening for both notifications (read and write) rather than just one; used to implement addReader and addWriter.

ParametersfdThe file descriptor. (type: int)
descrthe IReadDescriptor or IWriteDescriptor
flagthe flag to register for callbacks on, either kCFSocketReadCallBack or kCFSocketWriteCallBack
def _flag2idx(self, flag): (source)

Convert a kCFSocket... constant to an index into the read/write state list (_READ or _WRITE) (the 4th element of the value of self._fdmap).

ParametersflagkCFSocketReadCallBack or kCFSocketWriteCallBack
Returns_READ or _WRITE
def _unwatchFD(self, fd, descr, flag): (source)

Unregister a file descriptor with the CFRunLoop, or modify its state so that it's listening for only one notification (read or write) as opposed to both; used to implement removeReader and removeWriter.

Parametersfda file descriptor (type: int)
descran IReadDescriptor or IWriteDescriptor
flagkCFSocketWriteCallBack kCFSocketReadCallBack
def _moveCallLaterSooner(self, tple): (source)

Override PosixReactorBase's implementation of IDelayedCall.reset so that it will immediately reschedule. Normally _moveCallLaterSooner depends on the fact that runUntilCurrent is always run before the mainloop goes back to sleep, so this forces it to immediately recompute how long the loop needs to stay asleep.

def mainLoop(self): (source)

Run the runner (CFRunLoopRun or something that calls it), which runs the run loop until crash() is called.

def _scheduleSimulate(self, force=False): (source)

Schedule a call to self.runUntilCurrent. This will cancel the currently scheduled call if it is already scheduled.

ParametersforceEven if there are no timed calls, make sure that runUntilCurrent runs immediately (in a 0-seconds-from-now {CFRunLoopTimer}). This is necessary for calls which need to trigger behavior of runUntilCurrent other than running timed calls, such as draining the thread call queue or calling crash() when the appropriate flags are set. (type: bool)
def _stopNow(self): (source)

Immediately stop the CFRunLoop (which must be running!).

def iterate(self, delay=0): (source)

Emulate the behavior of iterate() for things that want to call it, by letting the loop run for a little while and then scheduling a timed call to exit it.
