The EvLoop class

INTRODUCTION

	Represents an event loop that is always distinct from the default loop . Unlike the default loop , it cannot handle EvChild watchers.

	Having threads we have to create a loop per thread, and use the the default loop in the parent thread.

	The  default  event  loop  is  initialized  automatically by Ev . It is accessable via methods of the Ev class, or via EvLoop::defaultLoop
       method.

PROPERTIES

	      o $data
		- Custom data attached to loop

	      o $backend
		- Readonly . The backend flags indicating the event backend in use.

	      o $is_default_loop
		- Readonly .  TRUE if it is the default event loop.

	      o $iteration
		- The current iteration count of the loop. See Ev::iteration

	      o $pending
		- The number of pending watchers.  0 indicates that there are no watchers pending.

	      o $io_interval
		-  Higher $io_interval allows libev to spend more time collecting EvIo events, so more events can be handled per iteration, at the
		cost of increasing latency. Timeouts (both EvPeriodic and EvTimer ) will not be affected. Setting this to a  non-zero  value  will
		introduce  an  additional  sleep() call into most loop iterations. The sleep time ensures that libev will not poll for EvIo events
		more often than once per this interval, on average. Many programs can usually benefit by setting the $io_interval to a value  near
		0.1  , which is often enough for interactive servers(not for games). It usually doesn't make much sense to set it to a lower value
		than 0.01 , as this approaches the timing granularity of most systems.	See also FUNCTIONS CONTROLLING EVENT LOOPS .

	      o $timeout_interval
		- Higher $timeout_interval allows libev to spend more time collecting timeouts, at the expense of  increased  latency/jitter/inex-
		actness(the  watcher callback will be called later). EvIo watchers will not be affected. Setting this to a non-null value will not
		introduce any overhead in libev . See also FUNCTIONS CONTROLLING EVENT LOOPS .

	      o $depth
		- The recursion depth. See Ev::depth .
