I dont know anything about the kevent timer stuff, so you should
probably look into that before re-inventing the wheel. However, you
would only need 1 thread to implement this timer functionality.
There are a couple data structures you could use, but it would probably
be easiest to use a prior

I wrote a small routing daemon which uses kqueue/kevent to fire a period
timer on a quantum which in turn calls into a

Threads are very
HI joseph ,
i thought of threading with select before , but i belive that if the
number of timers to be checked increases the number of the threads to be maintained
increses,so the process may become very hevy. what do u think.
i think ultimatley i am going to use the above t
If you're willing to take some precautions, you could run the timer code
with select/usleep in a separate thread. However, since the callbacks
would originate from that thread, you would need mutexes to protect any
data that the function accesses that could also be accessed by the
normal progr
HI all,
i am working on a project , where i came across a situation where i need
to execute a function when a timer expires ,exactly similar to functionality of the
timeout() kernel function but i need this in userland(application), and the execution
of the function is time sensit
