A key aspect of timers in any language is how to ensure that an otherwise idle program handles timers at the appropriate time. In the Go runtime implementation that is done via netpoll. In an otherwise idle program, a thread will be waiting for any network I/O, with a timeout. That timeout is set such that the thread will wake up when it is time for a timer to fire. The operation of waiting for network I/O with a timeout is handled by netpoll. Ian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
