: Is this for the server or the client? For the client, you didn't
: originally need any storage at all, because the client would
: ask the server "is there an event for me" and fetch them
: from the server one at a time. Very synchronous operation that
: didn't work well with select, which is a must.
:
A little clarification here: first, the Nano-X server already creates
an event list for each client on the server side. I'm still a bit
unclear as to exactly what Paolo needs in event processing.
However, if the single temp-stored event is an issue, then
a slightly more async process on the wire only might
help, with events stored on a local client queue if an
event is received when a cmd return is expected. Then
of course the event queue is checked before writing
the wire...
