8151 :: How can make FileHandle get registered into a selector on Windows?

• wani (orginal) [2021-06-24T03:04:09+02:00] view original

  I would like to watch STDIN by libev.

  import selectors
  let events = newSelector[int]()
  
  events.registerHandle( stdin.getFileHandle(), {Event.Read}, 0)
  Run

  And I got this error.

  
  Error: type mismatch
  
  proc registerHandle[T](s: Selector[T]; fd: int | SocketHandle;
                         events: set[Event]; data: T)
    first type mismatch at position: 2
    required type for fd: int or SocketHandle
    but expression 'getFileHandle(stdin)' is of type: FileHandle
  Run

  Converting FileHandle into int also Fails.

  ...
  events.registerHandle( stdin.getFileHandle().int , {Event.Read}, 0)
  Run

  
  Error: type mismatch
  
  proc setSelectKey[T](s: Selector[T]; fd: SocketHandle; events: set[Event];
                       data: T)
    first type mismatch at position: 2
    required type for fd: SocketHandle
    but expression 'fd' is of type: int
  Run

  A machine is on Windows10. Thank you.
