Hello, I've got a question concerning events. As I read from previous discussions, an event is a message to the Parrot Interpreter saying something has happened: I/O jobs were finished, a timer went off, etc. These things are from 'outside' the system, that is something outside the interpreter gives a signal (such as a disk drive that generates an interrupt, indicating it finished disk IO). Except for the timer, I think, the timer will be some kind of built-in thing (right?). (Ok, just a short explicit summary to check this)
Is it true that there will be operations for generating an event? So, unlike interrupt signals, these events are generated 'inside' the system. So, will there be an op like "postevent" or something? How will this be done? Klaas-Jan
