Composable event loops combine the cheap synchronicity of event loops with the composability of preempted threads.

Two modular event queue classes are provided:

  • EventLoop - for loops coupled with a c++ managed thread
  • EventQueue - for manually managed event queues

The Event class takes advantage of the extensibility of FuncPtr to allow an event to be passed through APIs as a normal function.

More information on composable event loops.
