Revision history for libev, a high-performance and full-featured event loop. |
2 |
|
3 |
WISH? monotonic clocks times/GetTickCount for coarse corrections? |
4 |
|
5 |
- further optimise away the EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll |
6 |
backend by assuming the kernel event mask hasn't changed if |
7 |
ADD fails with EEXIST. |
8 |
- use memset to initialise most arrays now and do away with the |
9 |
init functions. |
10 |
- expand time-out strategies into a "Be smart about timeouts" section. |
11 |
- drop the "struct" from all ev_watcher declarations in the |
12 |
documentation and did other clarifications (yeah, it was a mistake |
13 |
to have a struct AND a function called ev_loop). |
14 |
- fix a bug where ev_default would not initialise the default |
15 |
loop again after it was destroyed with ev_default_destroy. |
16 |
|
17 |
3.45 Tue Oct 21 21:59:26 CEST 2008 |
18 |
- disable inotify usage on linux <2.6.25, as it is broken |
19 |
(reported by Yoann Vandoorselaere). |
20 |
- ev_stat errornously would try to add inotify watchers |
21 |
even when inotify wasn't available (this should only |
22 |
have a performance impact). |
23 |
- ev_once now passes both timeout and io to the callback if both |
24 |
occur concurrently, instead of giving timeouts precedence. |
25 |
- disable EV_USE_INOTIFY when sys/inotify.h is too old. |
26 |
|
27 |
3.44 Mon Sep 29 05:18:39 CEST 2008 |
28 |
- embed watchers now automatically invoke ev_loop_fork on the |
29 |
embedded loop when the parent loop forks. |
30 |
- new function: ev_now_update (loop). |
31 |
- verify_watcher was not marked static. |
32 |
- improve the "associating..." manpage section. |
33 |
- documentation tweaks here and there. |
34 |
|
35 |
3.43 Sun Jul 6 05:34:41 CEST 2008 |
36 |
- include more include files on windows to get struct _stati64 |
37 |
(reported by Chris Hulbert, but doesn't quite fix his issue). |
38 |
- add missing #include <io.h> in ev.c on windows (reported by |
39 |
Matt Tolton). |
40 |
|
41 |
3.42 Tue Jun 17 12:12:07 CEST 2008 |
42 |
- work around yet another windows bug: FD_SET actually adds fd's |
43 |
multiple times to the fd_*SET*, despite official MSN docs claiming |
44 |
otherwise. Reported and well-analysed by Matt Tolton. |
45 |
- define NFDBITS to 0 when EV_SELECT_IS_WINSOCKET to make it compile |
46 |
(reported any analysed by Chris Hulbert). |
47 |
- fix a bug in ev_ebadf (this function is only used to catch |
48 |
programming errors in the libev user). reported by Matt Tolton. |
49 |
- fix a bug in fd_intern on win32 (could lead to compile errors |
50 |
under some circumstances, but would work correctly if it compiles). |
51 |
reported by Matt Tolton. |
52 |
- (try to) work around missing lstat on windows. |
53 |
- pass in the write fd set as except fd set under windows. windows |
54 |
is so uncontrollably lame that it requires this. this means that |
55 |
switching off oobinline is not supported (but tcp/ip doesn't |
56 |
have oob, so that would be stupid anyways. |
57 |
- use posix module symbol to auto-detect monotonic clock presence |
58 |
and some other default values. |
59 |
|
60 |
3.41 Fri May 23 18:42:54 CEST 2008 |
61 |
- work around an obscure bug in winsocket select: if you |
62 |
provide only empty fd sets then select returns WSAEINVAL. how sucky. |
63 |
- improve timer scheduling stability and reduce use of time_epsilon. |
64 |
- use 1-based 2-heap for EV_MINIMAL, simplifies code, reduces |
65 |
codesize and makes for better cache-efficiency. |
66 |
- use 3-based 4-heap for !EV_MINIMAL. this makes better use |
67 |
of cpu cache lines and gives better growth behaviour than |
68 |
2-based heaps. |
69 |
- cache timestamp within heap for !EV_MINIMAL, to avoid random |
70 |
memory accesses. |
71 |
- document/add EV_USE_4HEAP and EV_HEAP_CACHE_AT. |
72 |
- fix a potential aliasing issue in ev_timer_again. |
73 |
- add/document ev_periodic_at, retract direct access to ->at. |
74 |
- improve ev_stat docs. |
75 |
- add portability requirements section. |
76 |
- fix manpage headers etc. |
77 |
- normalise WSA error codes to lower range on windows. |
78 |
- add consistency check code that can be called automatically |
79 |
or on demand to check for internal structures (ev_loop_verify). |
80 |
|
81 |
3.31 Wed Apr 16 20:45:04 CEST 2008 |
82 |
- added last minute fix for ev_poll.c by Brandon Black. |
83 |
|
84 |
3.3 Wed Apr 16 19:04:10 CEST 2008 |
85 |
- event_base_loopexit should return 0 on success |
86 |
(W.C.A. Wijngaards). |
87 |
- added linux eventfd support. |
88 |
- try to autodetect epoll and inotify support |
89 |
by libc header version if not using autoconf. |
90 |
- new symbols: EV_DEFAULT_UC and EV_DEFAULT_UC_. |
91 |
- declare functions defined in ev.h as inline if |
92 |
C99 or gcc are available. |
93 |
- enable inlining with gcc versions 2 and 3. |
94 |
- work around broken poll implementations potentially |
95 |
not clearing revents field in ev_poll (Brandon Black) |
96 |
(no such systems are known at this time). |
97 |
- work around a bug in realloc on openbsd and darwin, |
98 |
also makes the errornous valgrind complaints |
99 |
go away (noted by various people). |
100 |
- fix ev_async_pending, add c++ wrapper for ev_async |
101 |
(based on patch sent by Johannes Deisenhofer. |
102 |
- add sensible set method to ev::embed. |
103 |
- made integer constants type int in ev.h. |
104 |
|
105 |
3.2 Wed Apr 2 17:11:19 CEST 2008 |
106 |
- fix a 64 bit overflow issue in the select backend, |
107 |
by using fd_mask instead of int for the mask. |
108 |
- rename internal sighandler to avoid clash with very old perls. |
109 |
- entering ev_loop will not clear the ONESHOT or NONBLOCKING |
110 |
flags of any outer loops anymore. |
111 |
- add ev_async_pending. |
112 |
|
113 |
3.1 Thu Mar 13 13:45:22 CET 2008 |
114 |

117 |
- improved documentation. |
118 |
|

120 |

- ev++.h includes "ev.h" by default now, not <ev.h>. |
122 |
- slightly improved documentation. |
123 |
- speed up signal detection after a fork. |
124 |
- only optionally return trace status changed in ev_child |
125 |
