The Storm Engine
[1/5] from: maarten:vrijheid at: 12-Aug-2003 7:31
As the main advice was "keep it clean" I thought I'd
upload a slightly polished version. Docs and a sample
included, asynchronously if you wnat it to be.
Any feedback appreciated.

Hello Maarten,
2 minutes feedback :-)
1) storm-engine/register-message echo func [ b [block!]][b]
you state in the docs, that Storm is "block based". What about
simplyfying syntax in following way?
storm-engine/register-message [echo [b [block!]][b]]
I mean - is 'func word really needed? Can it be actually anything else
than 'func? I also enclosed 'echo word itself in a block, as Storm is a
block
based :-) Well, it is rougly a suggestion, - it is just
brainstorming, nothing more ...
2) What is "storm-engine/message-handlers" in sample-server example good
for? Maybe it is redundant and could be done automatically?
cheers,
-pekr-

1.) Of course your licensing is up to you, but is there any reason why
this (and the async network stuff) has to be GPL'd? Makes it
impossible to use in commercial/Non-GPLable REBOL stuff.
2.)
repeat i 300 [
print i
storm-client/send-message/deliver tcp://localhost:8000 echo [ test ] :probe
]
-- output --
1
2
...
256
257
** Access Error: Error opening socket /async
** Where: async-send
** Near: p2: open to url! p1

I'd guess some kind of max open ports (<=256) limit is reached. So I
tried the following:
repeat i 500 [
storm-client/send-message/deliver tcp://localhost:8000 echo reduce [ i ] :probe
wait []
]
Seems to wait forever after msg #255 was received. If I leave the
waiting by hitting ESC and try to send another message, I once more
get the "Error opening socket /async" error.
Any ideas? (the above was tried using rebol/core 2.5.6.3.1)

Best regards,
Andreas

Other licenses on request, commercial licenses available. Hence the free
version is GPL'ed.

On what OS? Can you do a length? System/ports/wait-list after hitting
esc?
Should be zero (ports are closed after delivery).
I'll look into it.

You pass a function, this one is just anonymous

Debugging code, remove that line...
