# timer-deque-rs

<img src="https://cdn.4neko.org/timer_deque_rs.webp" width="300"/>

## Description
A OS based timer and timer event dequeue which can be used to create a simple timeout scheduling. Can be used just as OS timer or use it together with the
timeout deque.

This crate is still incomplete and not properly tested. The proof of concept is now developed.

<details>
  <summary>Policy</summary>

<img src="https://cdn.4neko.org/source_avail.webp" width="300"/>

- This crate i.e code is NOT an Open Source software. This is a FREE (gratis) software and follows the principle of Sources Available/Disclosed software which should be fairly used.
- It is published under FSF/OSI approved licenses however author does not follow/share/respect OSI and FSF principles and phylosophy. 
- License is subject to be changed in further versions without warning.
- If you are using code in non-free (in terms of gratis) software you MUST NEVER demand a development of any features which are missing and needed for your business if you are not sponsoring/contributing those changes.
- Access to the code can be limited by author to specific entities due to the local laws (not my bad or fault)(despite what is said in the license).

</details>

<details>
  <summary>AI policy</summary>

- AI generated sloppy code is prohibited. AI generates slop "a priori" (anyway).
- Licenses (thank you OSS sectarians ) do not anyhow limit AI training, but f^ck you all - ChatGPT, Co~~ck~~Pilot, especially Claude and rest unidentified cr@p.
- It is strongly discouraged from using the AI based tools to write or enhance the code. AI slope would 100% violate the license by introducing the 3rd party licensed code.

</details>  

<details>
  <summary>Pull requests</summary>

  The pull requests are now supported because the repository was moved to Codeberg. The alternative way is to send patches 
  over the email to patch\[at\]4neko.org.

  In case if you would like to contribute the code, please use pull request. Your pull request should include:
- Description of changes and why it is needed.
- Test the pull request.

  In case of you prefer email and patch files please consider the following:
- For each feature or fix, please send patches separatly.
- Please write what your patch is implementing or fixing.
- I can read the code and I am able to understand it, so don't write a poem or essay in the description to the patches.
- Please test your patch.

</details> 

<details>
  <summary>Questions about license MPL-2.0</summary>

- Can I use the MPL-2.0 licensed code (crate) in larger project licensed with more permissive license like BSD or MIT.

>  Yes, MPL- and Apache-licensed code can be used with an MIT codebase (so in that sense, they are "compatible").
However, the MPL- / Apache-licensed code remains under its original license. (So although compatible, you cannot relicense someone else's MPL or Apache code into the MIT license.) This means that your final codebase will contain a mix of MPL, Apache, and MIT licensed code.
As an example, MPL has weak copyleft, so if you modified an MPL file, that file (including your changes) must remain under the MPL license. 

[Answer1](https://www.reddit.com/r/learnprogramming/comments/1dn58or/comment/la0jt4c/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)

- I want to distribute (outside my organization) executable programs or libraries that I have compiled from someone else's unchanged MPL-licensed source code, either standalone or part of a larger work. What do I have to do?

> You must inform the recipients where they can get the source for the MPLed code in the executable program or library you are distributing (i.e., you must comply with Section 3.2). You may distribute any executables you create under a license of your choosing, as long as that license does not interfere with the recipients' rights to the source under the terms of the MPL.

  <summary>Questions about license EUPL-1.2</summary>

You should use this license if you are located in the EU which gives you more advantages over GPL because
in case of any disputes, the license allows you to defend your rights in a European Union country, in this case it will be Spain. It has also been translated into all languages of the EU member states.

[Matrix of EUPL compatible open source licences](https://interoperable-europe.ec.europa.eu/collection/eupl/matrix-eupl-compatible-open-source-licences)

`EUPL-1.2` is incompatiable with `GPL` according to [GNU ORG](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html)

> This is a free software license. By itself, it has a copyleft comparable to the GPL's, and incompatible with it.

## Version  
v 0.7.0-development, Rust edition 2024

<details>
  <summary>Changelog </summary>

- Added MIO support for TimerFd. This feature is not enbaled by default and should be enabled
using `feature = enable_mio_compat`
- A `TimerExpMode` new_* arguments changed to `impl Into<RelativeTime>` `impl Into<AbsoluteTime>`.
- Added more `From<>` for `AbsoluteTimer` and `RelativeTime`.

</details>

<details>
  <summary>Changelog v0.6.0</summary>

A large changes in `API`!

- The `TimerFd` and `poll` are now separated. Any instance which implements `FdTimerMarker` trait can be added to `poll`. The instance is consumed and converted into `PolledTimerFd`.
- Removed `remove` events from `poll`.
- The `poll` is now tracking internally added `TimerFd` instances.

</details>

<details>
  <summary>Changelog v0.5.2</summary>

Changes in the `timer_portable`.

- c
- Updated test.

</details>

<details>
  <summary>Changelog v0.5.1</summary>

Changes in the `timer_portable`.

- Fixed periodic timer `timer_kqueue_fd_bsd.rs`.
- Fixed Tokio Async fd error. The `AsyncFd::with_interest` should be used instead of `AsyncFd::new`.
- The `ICoW` was replaces with a beter option `AtomicCell` for this particular case.

</details>

<details>
  <summary>Changelog v0.5.0</summary>

Changes in the `timer_portable`.

- A BSD (timers) experimental support was introduced with a patch which is in `master` of the git before the crate release.
It inclused a both `KQueue` and `timerfd` (Linux compat) based `timer` and `poll`. Features `bsd_use_timerfd` and `bsd_use_poll`
enbales a specific subsystems. `bsd_use_poll` switches from `KQueue` to `Poll`, `bsd_use_timerfd` switches from `KQueue` to `TimerFd`.
- Changes in the `poll` and `timer` interfaces.

### Important

A tokio's AsyncFd throws error when trying to use it on all KQueue, timerfd, poll. The reason is unknown. Probably this is due regresson or because all three are read-only.

</details>

<details>
  <summary>Changelog v0.4.0</summary>

Changes in the `layout`, `poll system` and `tasks`. 

- A `poll` now provides an option to interrupt the polling process from another thread. Also, polling can be interrupted by adding or removing timer.
- Added a simple task spawner and executor based on the parallel execution.

<details>
  <summary>Capabilities</summary>

**This crate makes call to the following OS APIs:**
- epoll (Linux)
- timerfd (xBSD/Linux)
- kqueue (xBSD)
- poll (xBSD)

**This crate must never:**
- Must never open any network connections!
- Must never access any files on the local/remote filesystems!
- Must never create/use any shared memory!

</details>

## Supports:  
- GNU/Linux.
- Two deque types with the scheduling using absolute time.
- Synchronious (parallel) task spawner and executor.
- Async
- FreeBSD (experimental)
- TimerFd MIO compat (feature `enable_mio_compat`)


## ToDo
- other BSD based systems (kqueue) i.e (OSX, OpenBSD, NetBSD, DragonflyBSD)
- other timers types and queues i.e async task

## Issues tracker:
<img src="https://cdn.4neko.org/move_codeberg_500.webp" width="200"/>

The project has moved to [Codeberg](https://codeberg.org/4neko/timer-deque-rs).

## Features

### MIO
- `enable_mio_compat` - enables the crate [MIO]https://crates.io/crates/mio and
  adds support for `OrderTimerDeque` and `TimerFd`

### Below is related to BSD systems
- `bsd_use_timerfd` - use `timerfd` instead of `kqueue`
- `bsd_use_poll` - use `poll` instread of `kqueue`

## Usage:  

see ./examples/ [there](https://codeberg.org/4neko/timer-deque-rs/src/branch/master/examples)

The items are stored sorted by timeout `VecDeque`. The identification of the item in the queue is perfomed
by `PartialEq` and `Eq` by the instance or ID, and not by timeout value. The timer is set to the nearest (by time) value.

## Examples

For every sync example, the event notification is used. In case of Linux, the EPoll is used.

### Timer queue type consumer

### Timer queue type notifier (async) using more efficient AsyncFd

In this example, the notifier (signal) type of deque is used in async context by wrapping the timer deque in
the AsyncFd. This is more efficient than jus polling the FD for events like in previous example.

<details>
  <summary>Example</summary>

```rust
use std::{cmp::Ordering, fmt, sync::Arc};

use timer_deque_rs::
{
    AbsoluteTime, 
    TimerDequeConsumer, 
    DequeOnce, 
    OrderTimerDeque, 
    OrderedTimerDequeMode
};
use tokio::io::{Interest, unix::AsyncFd};


#[derive(Debug, PartialEq, Eq, Clone)]
struct TestItem(u64);

impl fmt::Display for TestItem
{
    fn fmt(&self, f: &mut fmt::Formatter<'_>) -> fmt::Result 
    {
        write!(f, "0 = {}", self.0)
    }
}

#[tokio::main]
async fn main()

    time_list.get_mut().add(ent2.clone(), tss_set2).unwrap();
    time_list.get_mut().add(ent3.clone(), tss_set3).unwrap();

    // ----

### Generic, OS based timer without queue

Just simple timer based on OS functionality.

<details>
  <summary>Example</summary>

```rust
use std::{borrow::Cow, cmp::Ordering, time::Instant};

use timer_deque_rs::
{
    timer_portable::
    {
        timer::TimerFd, 
        FdTimerCom, 
        TimerExpMode, 
        TimerFlags, 
        TimerType
    }, 
    AbsoluteTime
};

fn main()
{
    // timer init as blocking
    let timer = 
        TimerFd::new(Cow::Borrowed("test"), TimerType::CLOCK_REALTIME, 
            TimerFlags::empty()).unwrap();

    let s = Instant::now();

    let abs_time = AbsoluteTime::now().add_sec(3);
    let exp_time = 
         TimerExpMode::<AbsoluteTime>::new_oneshot(abs_time);

    // setting timer
    let res = timer.set_time(exp_time);
    
    println!("timer was set: '{}'", exp_time);

    assert_eq!(res.is_ok(), true, "{}", res.err().unwrap());

    
    let ovf = timer.read().unwrap().unwrap();

    let now_abs = AbsoluteTime::now();
    let e = s.elapsed();

    assert_eq!(ovf, 1);
    assert_eq!(abs_time.seconds_cmp(&now_abs) == Ordering::Equal, true);

    println!("elapsed: {:?}, now: {}, set: {}", e, now_abs, abs_time);

    assert_eq!((e.as_millis() <= 3100), true);

    println!("Success");
    return;
