NAME

AnyEvent::SIP - Fusing together AnyEvent and Net::SIP

VERSION

version 0.001

SYNOPSIS

# regular Net::SIP syntax
use AnyEvent::SIP;
use Net::SIP::Simple;

my $stopvar;
my $ua   = Net::SIP::Simple->new(...);
my $call = $uac->invite(
    'you.uas@example.com',
    cb_final => sub { $stopvar++ },
);

# wait for $stopvar, 5 second timeout
$ua->loop( 5, \$stopvar );

# AnyEvent-style
use AnyEvent::SIP;
use Net::SIP::Simple;

my $cv   = AE::cv;
my $ua   = Net::SIP::Simple->new(...);
my $call = $uac->invite(
    'you.uas@example.com',
    cb_final => sub { $cv->send },
);

$cv->recv;

DESCRIPTION

This module allows you to use AnyEvent as the event loop (and thus any other supported event loop) for Net::SIP.

Net::SIP::Simple allows you to define the event loop. You can either define it using Net::SIP::Dispatcher::AnyEvent manually or you can simply use AnyEvent::SIP which will automatically set it for you.

# doing it automatically and globally
use AnyEvent::SIP;
use Net::SIP::Simple;

my $cv = AE::cv;
my $ua = Net::SIP::Simple->new(...);
$ua->register( cb_final => sub { $cv->send } );
$cv->recv;

# defining it for a specific object
use Net::SIP::Simple;
use Net::SIP::Dispatcher::AnyEvent;

my $cv = AE::cv;
my $ua = Net::SIP::Simple->(
    ...
    loop => Net::SIP::Dispatcher::AnyEvent->new,
);

$ua->register;
$cv->recv;

You can also call Net::SIP's loop method in order to keep it as close as possible to the original syntax. This will internally use AnyEvent, whether you're using AnyEvent::SIP globally or Net::SIP::Dispatcher::AnyEvent locally.

use AnyEvent::SIP;
use Net::SIP::Simple;

my $stopvar;
my $ua = Net::SIP::Simple->new(...);
$ua->register( cb_final => sub { $stopvar++ } );

# call Net::SIP's event loop runner,
# which calls AnyEvent's instead
$ua->loop( 1, \$stopvar );

WARNING

Net::SIP requires dispatchers (event loops) to check their stopvars (condition variables) every single iteration of the loop. In my opinion, it's a wasteful and heavy operation. When it comes to loops like EV, they run a lot of cycles, and it's probably not very effecient. Take that under advisement.

I would happily accept any suggestions on how to improve this. Meanwhile, we're using AnyEvent::AggressiveIdle.
