# User Rev Content
1 root 1.14 Revision history for libev, a high-performance and full-featured event loop.
2 root 1.1
3 root 1.334 TODO: revisit 59.x timer in the light of mdoenr powersaving
4 root 1.335 - linuxaio backend might have tried to cancel an iocb
5     multiple times (was unable to trigger this).
6 root 1.334 - io_cancel can return EINTR, deal with it. also, assume
7     io_asubmit also retursn EINTR.
8 root 1.336 - cleanup: replace expect_true/false and noinline by their
9     libecb counterparts.
10 root 1.337 - move syscall infrastructure from ev_linuxaio.c to ev.c.
11     - prepare io_uring integration.
12 root 1.334
13 root 1.333 4.27 Thu Jun 27 22:43:44 CEST 2019
14 root 1.334 - linux aio backend almost completely rewritten to work around its
15 root 1.329 limitations.
16 root 1.334 - linux aio backend now requires linux 4.19+.
17 root 1.329 - epoll backend now mandatory for linux aio backend.
18 root 1.330 - fail assertions more aggressively on invalid fd's detected
19     in the event loop, do not just silently fd_kill in case of
20     user error.
21     - ev_io_start/ev_io_stop now verify the watcher fd using
22     a syscall when EV_VERIFY is 2 or higher.
23 root 1.329
24     4.26 (EV only)
25     - update to libecb 0x00010006.
26 root 1.326 - new experimental linux aio backend (linux 4.18+).
27 root 1.324 - removed redundant 0-ptr check in ev_once.
28 root 1.325 - updated/extended ev_set_allocator documentation.
29 root 1.326 - replaced EMPTY2 macro by array_needsize_noinit.
30     - minor code cleanups.
31 root 1.327 - epoll backend now uses epoll_create1 also after fork.
32 root 1.324
33 root 1.320 4.25 Fri Dec 21 07:49:20 CET 2018
34     - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: EV_THROW was renamed to EV_NOEXCEPT
35 root 1.323 (EV_THROW still provided) and now uses noexcept on C++11 or newer.
36 root 1.320 - move the darwin select workaround highe rin ev.c, as newer versions of
37 root 1.316 darwin managed to break their broken select even more.
38 root 1.314 - ANDROID => __ANDROID__ (reported by enh@google.com).
39 root 1.315 - disable epoll_create1 on android because it has broken header files
40     and google is unwilling to fix them (reported by enh@google.com).
41 root 1.317 - avoid a minor compilation warning on win32.
42 root 1.318 - c++: remove deprecated dynamic throw() specifications.
43     - c++: improve the (unsupported) bad_loop exception class.
44 root 1.319 - backport perl ev_periodic example to C, untested.
45 root 1.321 - update libecb, biggets change is to include a memory fence
46     in ECB_MEMORY_FENCE_RELEASE on x86/amd64.
47 root 1.322 - minor autoconf/automake modernisation.
48 root 1.314
49 root 1.313 4.24 Wed Dec 28 05:19:55 CET 2016
50     - bump version to 4.24, as the release tarball inexplicably
51     didn't have the right version in ev.h, even though the cvs-tagged
52     version did have the right one (reported by Ales Teska).
53    
54 root 1.312 4.23 Wed Nov 16 18:23:41 CET 2016
55 root 1.311 - move some declarations at the beginning to help certain retarded
56     microsoft compilers, even though their documentation claims
57     otherwise (reported by Ruslan Osmanov).
58    
59 root 1.310 4.22 Sun Dec 20 22:11:50 CET 2015
60 root 1.308 - when epoll detects unremovable fds in the fd set, rebuild
61     only the epoll descriptor, not the signal pipe, to avoid
62     SIGPIPE in ev_async_send. This doesn't solve it on fork,
63     so document what needs to be done in ev_loop_fork
64     (analyzed by Benjamin Mahler).
65     - remove superfluous sys/timeb.h include on win32
66     (analyzed by Jason Madden).
67 root 1.309 - updated libecb.
68 root 1.308
69 root 1.307 4.20 Sat Jun 20 13:01:43 CEST 2015
70 root 1.302 - prefer noexcept over throw () with C++ 11.
71 root 1.303 - update ecb.h due to incompatibilities with c11.
72 root 1.305 - fix a potential aliasing issue when reading and writing
73 root 1.304 watcher callbacks.
74 root 1.301
75 root 1.300 4.19 Thu Sep 25 08:18:25 CEST 2014
76 root 1.298 - ev.h wasn't valid C++ anymore, which tripped compilers other than
77 root 1.299 clang, msvc or gcc (analyzed by Raphael 'kena' Poss). Unfortunately,
78     C++ doesn't support typedefs for function pointers fully, so the affected
79     declarations have to spell out the types each time.
80 root 1.297 - when not using autoconf, tighten the check for clock_gettime and related
81     functionality.
82    
83 root 1.296 4.18 Fri Sep 5 17:55:26 CEST 2014
84 root 1.295 - events on files were not always generated properly with the
85     epoll backend (testcase by Assaf Inbal).
86 root 1.288 - mark event pipe fd as cloexec after a fork (analyzed by Sami Farin).
87 root 1.289 - (ecb) support m68k, m88k and sh (patch by Miod Vallat).
88 root 1.291 - use a reasonable fallback for EV_NSIG instead of erroring out
89     when we can't detect the signal set size.
90 root 1.292 - in the absence of autoconf, do not use the clock syscall
91     on glibc >= 2.17 (avoids the syscall AND -lrt on systems
92     doing clock_gettime in userspace).
93 root 1.293 - ensure extern "C" function pointers are used for externally-visible
94     loop callbacks (not watcher callbacks yet).
95 root 1.294 - (ecb) work around memory barriers and volatile apparently both being
96     broken in visual studio 2008 and later (analysed and patch by Nicolas Noble).
97 root 1.288
98 root 1.287 4.15 Fri Mar 1 12:04:50 CET 2013
99 root 1.271 - destroying a non-default loop would stop the global waitpid
100     watcher (Denis Bilenko).
101 root 1.266 - queueing pending watchers of higher priority from a watcher now invokes
102     them in a timely fashion (reported by Denis Bilenko).
103 root 1.261 - add throw() to all libev functions that cannot throw exceptions, for
104     further code size decrease when compiling for C++.
105     - add throw () to callbacks that must not throw exceptions (allocator,
106     syserr, loop acquire/release, periodic reschedule cbs).
107 root 1.256 - fix event_base_loop return code, add event_get_callback, event_base_new,
108     event_base_get_method calls to improve libevent 1.x emulation and add
109 root 1.273 some libevent 2.x functionality (based on a patch by Jeff Davey).
110 root 1.263 - add more memory fences to fix a bug reported by Jeff Davey. Better
111     be overfenced than underprotected.
112 root 1.256 - ev_run now returns a boolean status (true meaning watchers are
113     still active).
114 root 1.252 - ev_once: undef EV_ERROR in ev_kqueue.c, to avoid clashing with
115     libev's EV_ERROR (reported by 191919).
116 root 1.253 - (ecb) add memory fence support for xlC (Darin McBride).
117     - (ecb) add memory fence support for gcc-mips (Anton Kirilov).
118 root 1.259 - (ecb) add memory fence support for gcc-alpha (Christian Weisgerber).
119 root 1.254 - work around some kernels losing file descriptors by leaking
120     the kqueue descriptor in the child.
121 root 1.282 - work around linux inotify not reporting IN_ATTRIB changes for directories
122     in many cases.
123 root 1.262 - include sys/syscall.h instead of plain syscall.h.
124 root 1.268 - check for io watcher loops in ev_verify, check for the most
125     common reported usage bug in ev_io_start.
126 sf-exg 1.286 - choose socket vs. WSASocket at compiletime using EV_USE_WSASOCKET.
127 root 1.270 - always use WSASend/WSARecv directly on windows, hoping that this
128     works in all cases (unlike read/write/send/recv...).
129 root 1.274 - try to detect signals around a fork faster (test program by
130     Denis Bilenko).
131 root 1.275 - work around recent glibc versions that leak memory in realloc.
132 root 1.276 - rename ev::embed::set to ev::embed::set_embed to avoid clashing
133     the watcher base set (loop) method.
134 root 1.278 - rewrite the async/signal pipe logic to always keep a valid fd, which
135 sf-exg 1.286 simplifies (and hopefully correctifies :) the race checking
136 root 1.278 on fork, at the cost of one extra fd.
137 root 1.282 - add fat, msdos, jffs2, ramfs, ntfs and btrfs to the list of
138     inotify-supporting filesystems.
139 root 1.283 - move orig_CFLAGS assignment to after AC_INIT, as newer autoconf
140     versions ignore it before
141     (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=908096).
142 root 1.284 - add some untested android support.
143 root 1.285 - enum expressions must be of type int (reported by Juan Pablo L).
144 root 1.253
145 root 1.250 4.11 Sat Feb 4 19:52:39 CET 2012
146 root 1.248 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: ev_timer_again now clears the pending status, as
147     was documented already, but not implemented in the repeating case.
148 root 1.249 - new compiletime symbols: EV_NO_SMP and EV_NO_THREADS.
149 root 1.234 - fix a race where the workaround against the epoll fork bugs
150     caused signals to not be handled anymore.
151 root 1.229 - correct backend_fudge for most backends, and implement a windows
152     specific workaround to avoid looping because we call both
153     select and Sleep, both with different time resolutions.
154 root 1.230 - document range and guarantees of ev_sleep.
155 root 1.231 - document reasonable ranges for periodics interval and offset.
156     - rename backend_fudge to backend_mintime to avoid future confusion :)
157 root 1.225 - change the default periodic reschedule function to hopefully be more
158 root 1.226 exact and correct even in corner cases or in the far future.
159 root 1.225 - do not rely on -lm anymore: use it when available but use our
160 root 1.230 own floor () if it is missing. This should make it easier to embed,
161     as no external libraries are required.
162 root 1.232 - strategically import macros from libecb and mark rarely-used functions
163 sf-exg 1.239 as cache-cold (saving almost 2k code size on typical amd64 setups).
164 root 1.237 - add Symbols.ev and Symbols.event files, that were missing.
165 root 1.242 - fix backend_mintime value for epoll (was 1/1024, is 1/1000 now).
166 root 1.244 - fix #3 "be smart about timeouts" to not "deadlock" when
167     timeout == now, also improve the section overall.
168     - avoid "AVOIDING FINISHING BEFORE RETURNING" idiom.
169 root 1.245 - support new EV_API_STATIC mode to make all libev symbols
170     static.
171 root 1.251 - supply default CFLAGS of -g -O3 with gcc when original CFLAGS
172     were empty.
173 root 1.225
174 root 1.224 4.04 Wed Feb 16 09:01:51 CET 2011
175     - fix two problems in the native win32 backend, where reuse of fd's
176     with different underlying handles caused handles not to be removed
177     or added to the select set (analyzed and tested by Bert Belder).
178 root 1.221 - do no rely on ceil() in ev_e?poll.c.
179 root 1.222 - backport libev to HP-UX versions before 11 v3.
180 root 1.223 - configure did not detect nanosleep and clock_gettime properly when
181     they are available in the libc (as opposed to -lrt).
182 root 1.221
183 root 1.219 4.03 Tue Jan 11 14:37:25 CET 2011
184 root 1.217 - officially support polling files with all backends.
185 root 1.212 - support files, /dev/zero etc. the same way as select in the epoll
186     backend, by generating events on our own.
187 root 1.217 - ports backend: work around solaris bug 6874410 and many related ones
188     (EINTR, maybe more), with no performance loss (note that the solaris
189     bug report is actually wrong, reality is far more bizarre and broken
190     than that).
191 root 1.209 - define EV_READ/EV_WRITE as macros in event.h, as some programs use
192     #ifdef to test for them.
193 root 1.213 - new (experimental) function: ev_feed_signal.
194     - new (to become default) EVFLAG_NOSIGMASK flag.
195     - new EVBACKEND_MASK symbol.
196 root 1.220 - updated COMMON IDIOMS SECTION.
197 root 1.209
198 root 1.207 4.01 Fri Nov 5 21:51:29 CET 2010
199 root 1.205 - automake fucked it up, apparently, --add-missing -f is not quite enough
200 root 1.206 to make it update its files, so 4.00 didn't install ev++.h and
201     event.h on make install. grrr.
202     - ev_loop(count|depth) didn't return anything (Robin Haberkorn).
203 root 1.203 - change EV_UNDEF to 0xffffffff to silence some overzealous compilers.
204 root 1.204 - use "(libev) " prefix for all libev error messages now.
205 root 1.203
206 root 1.202 4.00 Mon Oct 25 12:32:12 CEST 2010
207 root 1.171 - "PORTING FROM LIBEV 3.X TO 4.X" (in ev.pod) is recommended reading.
208 root 1.161 - ev_embed_stop did not correctly stop the watcher (very good
209     testcase by Vladimir Timofeev).
210 sf-exg 1.191 - ev_run will now always update the current loop time - it erroneously
211 root 1.187 didn't when idle watchers were active, causing timers not to fire.
212 root 1.179 - fix a bug where a timeout of zero caused the timer not to fire
213     in the libevent emulation (testcase by Péter Szabó).
214 root 1.164 - applied win32 fixes by Michael Lenaghan (also James Mansion).
215 root 1.166 - replace EV_MINIMAL by EV_FEATURES.
216 root 1.178 - prefer EPOLL_CTL_ADD over EPOLL_CTL_MOD in some more cases, as it
217     seems the former is *much* faster than the latter.
218 root 1.197 - linux kernel version detection (for inotify bug workarounds)
219     did not work properly.
220 root 1.185 - reduce the number of spurious wake-ups with the ports backend.
221 root 1.158 - remove dependency on sys/queue.h on freebsd (patch by Vanilla Hsu).
222 root 1.186 - do async init within ev_async_start, not ev_async_set, which avoids
223     an API quirk where the set function must be called in the C++ API
224     even when there is nothing to set.
225 root 1.174 - add (undocumented) EV_ENABLE when adding events with kqueue,
226 root 1.175 this might help with OS X, which seems to need it despite documenting
227     not to need it (helpfully pointed out by Tilghman Lesher).
228 root 1.176 - do not use poll by default on freebsd, it's broken (what isn't
229     on freebsd...).
230 root 1.195 - allow to embed epoll on kernels >= 2.6.32.
231 root 1.159 - configure now prepends -O3, not appends it, so one can still
232     override it.
233 root 1.190 - ev.pod: greatly expanded the portability section, added a porting
234     section, a description of watcher states and made lots of minor fixes.
235 root 1.160 - disable poll backend on AIX, the poll header spams the namespace
236     and it's not worth working around dead platforms (reported
237     and analyzed by Aivars Kalvans).
238 root 1.162 - improve header file compatibility of the standalone eventfd code
239     in an obscure case.
240 root 1.163 - implement EV_AVOID_STDIO option.
241     - do not use sscanf to parse linux version number (smaller, faster,
242     no sscanf dependency).
243 root 1.164 - new EV_CHILD_ENABLE and EV_SIGNAL_ENABLE configurable settings.
244 sf-exg 1.172 - update libev.m4 HAVE_CLOCK_SYSCALL test for newer glibcs.
245 root 1.165 - add section on accept() problems to the manpage.
246 root 1.168 - rename EV_TIMEOUT to EV_TIMER.
247 root 1.190 - rename ev_loop_count/depth/verify/loop/unloop.
248 root 1.197 - remove ev_default_destroy and ev_default_fork.
249 root 1.168 - switch to two-digit minor version.
250 root 1.180 - work around an apparent gentoo compiler bug.
251 root 1.181 - define _DARWIN_UNLIMITED_SELECT. just so.
252 root 1.188 - use enum instead of #define for most constants.
253     - improve compatibility to older C++ compilers.
254 root 1.193 - (experimental) ev_run/ev_default_loop/ev_break/ev_loop_new have now
255     default arguments when compiled as C++.
256 root 1.196 - enable automake dependency tracking.
257 root 1.197 - ev_loop_new no longer leaks memory when loop creation failed.
258 root 1.198 - new ev_cleanup watcher type.
259 root 1.157
260 root 1.156 3.9 Thu Dec 31 07:59:59 CET 2009
261 root 1.155 - signalfd is no longer used by default and has to be requested
262     explicitly - this means that easy to catch bugs become hard to
263     catch race conditions, but the users have spoken.
264     - point out the unspecified signal mask in the documentation, and
265     that this is a race condition regardless of EV_SIGNALFD.
266 root 1.142 - backport inotify code to C89.
267 root 1.148 - inotify file descriptors could leak into child processes.
268 sf-exg 1.241 - ev_stat watchers could keep an erroneous extra ref on the loop,
269 root 1.151 preventing exit when unregistering all watchers (testcases
270 root 1.150 provided by ry@tinyclouds.org).
271 root 1.143 - implement EV_WIN32_HANDLE_TO_FD and EV_WIN32_CLOSE_FD configuration
272 root 1.145 symbols to make it easier for apps to do their own fd management.
273 root 1.144 - support EV_IDLE_ENABLE being disabled in ev++.h
274     (patch by Didier Spezia).
275 root 1.147 - take advantage of inotify_init1, if available, to set cloexec/nonblock
276     on fd creation, to avoid races.
277 root 1.150 - the signal handling pipe wasn't always initialised under windows
278     (analysed by lekma).
279 root 1.146 - changed minimum glibc requirement from glibc 2.9 to 2.7, for
280     signalfd.
281 root 1.152 - add missing string.h include (Denis F. Latypoff).
282 root 1.153 - only replace ev_stat.prev when we detect an actual difference,
283     so prev is (almost) always different to attr. this might
284 sf-exg 1.191 have caused the problems with 04_stat.t.
285 root 1.154 - add ev::timer->remaining () method to C++ API.
286 root 1.142
287 root 1.141 3.8 Sun Aug 9 14:30:45 CEST 2009
288 root 1.133 - incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal handler
289     to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped.
290 root 1.135 - ev_default_destroy did not properly free or zero some members,
291 sf-exg 1.191 potentially causing crashes and memory corruption on repeated
292 root 1.134 ev_default_destroy/ev_default_loop calls.
293 root 1.133 - take advantage of signalfd on GNU/Linux systems.
294     - document that the signal mask might be in an unspecified
295     state when using libev's signal handling.
296 root 1.136 - take advantage of some GNU/Linux calls to set cloexec/nonblock
297     on fd creation, to avoid race conditions.
298 root 1.132
299 root 1.131 3.7 Fri Jul 17 16:36:32 CEST 2009
300 root 1.128 - ev_unloop and ev_loop wrongly used a global variable to exit loops,
301     instead of using a per-loop variable (bug caught by accident...).
302     - the ev_set_io_collect_interval interpretation has changed.
303     - add new functionality: ev_set_userdata, ev_userdata,
304 root 1.126 ev_set_invoke_pending_cb, ev_set_loop_release_cb,
305 root 1.132 ev_invoke_pending, ev_pending_count, together with a long example
306     about thread locking.
307 root 1.128 - add ev_timer_remaining (as requested by Denis F. Latypoff).
308     - add ev_loop_depth.
309 root 1.124 - calling ev_unloop in fork/prepare watchers will no longer poll
310     for new events.
311 root 1.115 - Denis F. Latypoff corrected many typos in example code snippets.
312     - honor autoconf detection of EV_USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL, also double-
313     check that the syscall number is available before trying to
314     use it (reported by ry@tinyclouds).
315 root 1.117 - use GetSystemTimeAsFileTime instead of _timeb on windows, for
316 root 1.116 slightly higher accuracy.
317 root 1.122 - properly declare ev_loop_verify and ev_now_update even when
318     !EV_MULTIPLICITY.
319 root 1.121 - do not compile in any priority code when EV_MAXPRI == EV_MINPRI.
320 root 1.123 - support EV_MINIMAL==2 for a reduced API.
321 root 1.125 - actually 0-initialise struct sigaction when installing signals.
322 root 1.127 - add section on hibernate and stopped processes to ev_timer docs.
323 root 1.115
324 root 1.113 3.6 Tue Apr 28 02:49:30 CEST 2009
325 root 1.107 - multiple timers becoming ready within an event loop iteration
326     will be invoked in the "correct" order now.
327 root 1.105 - do not leave the event loop early just because we have no active
328     watchers, fixing a problem when embedding a kqueue loop
329     that has active kernel events but no registered watchers
330     (reported by blacksand blacksand).
331 root 1.102 - correctly zero the idx values for arrays, so destroying and
332     reinitialising the default loop actually works (patch by
333     Malek Hadj-Ali).
334 root 1.108 - implement ev_suspend and ev_resume.
335 root 1.106 - new EV_CUSTOM revents flag for use by applications.
336 sf-exg 1.241 - add documentation section about priorities.
337 sf-exg 1.286 - add a glossary to the documentation.

342     - fix a bug in event pipe creation on win32 that would cause a
343     failed assertion on event loop creation (patch by Malek Hadj-Ali).
344 root 1.100 - probe for CLOCK_REALTIME support at runtime as well and fall
345     back to gettimeofday if there is an error, to support older
346     operating systems with newer header files/libraries.
347     - prefer gettimeofday over clock_gettime with USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL
348     (default most everywhere), otherwise not.

350 root 1.99 3.52 Wed Jan 7 21:43:02 CET 2009
351 root 1.97 - fix compilation of select backend in fd_set mode when NFDBITS is
352     missing (to get it to compile on QNX, reported by Rodrigo Campos).
353     - better select-nfds handling when select backend is in fd_set mode.
354     - diagnose fd_set overruns when select backend is in fd_set mode.
355     - due to a thinko, instead of disabling everything but
356     select on the borked OS X platform, everything but select was
357     allowed (reported by Emanuele Giaquinta).
358 root 1.95 - actually verify that local and remote port are matching in
359     libev's socketpair emulation, which makes denial-of-service
360     attacks harder (but not impossible - it's windows). Make sure
361 root 1.96 it even works under vista, which thinks that getpeer/sockname
362     should return fantasy port numbers.
363 root 1.100 - include "libev" in all assertion messages for potentially
364 root 1.97 clearer diagnostics.
365 root 1.98 - event_get_version (libevent compatibility) returned
366     a useless string instead of the expected version string
367     (patch by W.C.A. Wijngaards).
368 root 1.95
369 root 1.94 3.51 Wed Dec 24 23:00:11 CET 2008
370 root 1.91 - fix a bug where an inotify watcher was added twice, causing
371 root 1.92 freezes on hash collisions (reported and analysed by Graham Leggett).
372 root 1.87 - new config symbol, EV_USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL, to make libev use
373     a direct syscall - slower, but no dependency on librt et al.
374 root 1.88 - assume negative return values != -1 signals success of port_getn
375     (http://cvs.epicsol.org/cgi/viewcvs.cgi/epic5/source/newio.c?rev=1.52)
376     (no known failure reports, but it doesn't hurt).
377 root 1.93 - fork detection in ev_embed now stops and restarts the watcher
378     automatically.
379 root 1.89 - EXPERIMENTAL: default the method to operator () in ev++.h,
380     to make it nicer to use functors (requested by Benedek László).
381     - fixed const object callbacks in ev++.h.
382 root 1.90 - replaced loop_ref argument of watcher.set (loop) by a direct
383     ev_loop * in ev++.h, to avoid clashes with functor patch.
384 root 1.91 - do not try to watch the empty string via inotify.
385 root 1.92 - inotify watchers could be leaked under certain circumstances.
386     - OS X 10.5 is actually even more broken than earlier versions,
387     so fall back to select on that piece of garbage.
388 root 1.93 - fixed some weirdness in the ev_embed documentation.
389 root 1.87
390 root 1.86 3.49 Wed Nov 19 11:26:53 CET 2008
391 root 1.83 - ev_stat watchers will now use inotify as a mere hint on
392     kernels <2.6.25, or if the filesystem is not in the
393     "known to be good" list.
394 root 1.84 - better mingw32 compatibility (it's not as borked as native win32)
395     (analysed by Roger Pack).
396 root 1.85 - include stdio.h in the example program, as too many people are
397     confused by the weird C language otherwise. I guess the next thing
398     I get told is that the "..." ellipses in the examples don't compile
399     with their C compiler.
400 root 1.83
401 root 1.80 3.48 Thu Oct 30 09:02:37 CET 2008
402 root 1.71 - further optimise away the EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll
403     backend by assuming the kernel event mask hasn't changed if
404     ADD fails with EEXIST.
405 root 1.75 - work around spurious event notification bugs in epoll by using
406 root 1.77 a 32-bit generation counter. recreate kernel state if we receive
407 root 1.78 spurious notifications or unwanted events. this is very costly,
408     but I didn't come up with this horrible design.
409 root 1.71 - use memset to initialise most arrays now and do away with the
410     init functions.
411 root 1.72 - expand time-out strategies into a "Be smart about timeouts" section.
412     - drop the "struct" from all ev_watcher declarations in the
413 root 1.73 documentation and did other clarifications (yeah, it was a mistake
414     to have a struct AND a function called ev_loop).
415 root 1.74 - fix a bug where ev_default would not initialise the default
416     loop again after it was destroyed with ev_default_destroy.
417 root 1.79 - rename syserr to ev_syserr to avoid name clashes when embedding,
418     do similar changes for event.c.
419 root 1.71
420 root 1.69 3.45 Tue Oct 21 21:59:26 CEST 2008
421 root 1.67 - disable inotify usage on linux <2.6.25, as it is broken
422     (reported by Yoann Vandoorselaere).
423 sf-exg 1.191 - ev_stat erroneously would try to add inotify watchers
424 root 1.68 even when inotify wasn't available (this should only
425 root 1.67 have a performance impact).
426 root 1.65 - ev_once now passes both timeout and io to the callback if both
427     occur concurrently, instead of giving timeouts precedence.
428 root 1.66 - disable EV_USE_INOTIFY when sys/inotify.h is too old.
429 root 1.65
430 root 1.62 3.44 Mon Sep 29 05:18:39 CEST 2008
431     - embed watchers now automatically invoke ev_loop_fork on the

433 root 1.58 - new function: ev_now_update (loop).

438 root 1.56 3.43 Sun Jul 6 05:34:41 CEST 2008
439 root 1.54 - include more include files on windows to get struct _stati64
440 root 1.56 (reported by Chris Hulbert, but doesn't quite fix his issue).
441 root 1.53 - add missing #include <io.h> in ev.c on windows (reported by

443    
444 root 1.52 3.42 Tue Jun 17 12:12:07 CEST 2008
445 root 1.50 - work around yet another windows bug: FD_SET actually adds fd's
446     multiple times to the fd_*SET*, despite official MSN docs claiming
447 root 1.51 otherwise. Reported and well-analysed by Matt Tolton.
448     - define NFDBITS to 0 when EV_SELECT_IS_WINSOCKET to make it compile
449 root 1.48 (reported any analysed by Chris Hulbert).
450 root 1.49 - fix a bug in ev_ebadf (this function is only used to catch
451     programming errors in the libev user). reported by Matt Tolton.
452     - fix a bug in fd_intern on win32 (could lead to compile errors
453     under some circumstances, but would work correctly if it compiles).
454     reported by Matt Tolton.
455 root 1.50 - (try to) work around missing lstat on windows.
456 root 1.45 - pass in the write fd set as except fd set under windows. windows
457 root 1.46 is so uncontrollably lame that it requires this. this means that
458     switching off oobinline is not supported (but tcp/ip doesn't
459     have oob, so that would be stupid anyways.
460 root 1.47 - use posix module symbol to auto-detect monotonic clock presence
461     and some other default values.
462 root 1.45
463 root 1.44 3.41 Fri May 23 18:42:54 CEST 2008
464 root 1.46 - work around an obscure bug in winsocket select: if you
465 root 1.40 provide only empty fd sets then select returns WSAEINVAL. how sucky.
466 root 1.41 - improve timer scheduling stability and reduce use of time_epsilon.
467 root 1.36 - use 1-based 2-heap for EV_MINIMAL, simplifies code, reduces
468     codesize and makes for better cache-efficiency.
469     - use 3-based 4-heap for !EV_MINIMAL. this makes better use
470     of cpu cache lines and gives better growth behaviour than
471     2-based heaps.
472 root 1.38 - cache timestamp within heap for !EV_MINIMAL, to avoid random
473     memory accesses.
474     - document/add EV_USE_4HEAP and EV_HEAP_CACHE_AT.

491     - try to autodetect epoll and inotify support
492     by libc header version if not using autoconf.

497 root 1.25 - work around broken poll implementations potentially
498     not clearing revents field in ev_poll (Brandon Black)
499     (no such systems are known at this time).
500 root 1.23 - work around a bug in realloc on openbsd and darwin,
501 sf-exg 1.191 also makes the erroneous valgrind complaints
502 root 1.23 go away (noted by various people).
503 root 1.26 - fix ev_async_pending, add c++ wrapper for ev_async

510     by using fd_mask instead of int for the mask.
511 root 1.16 - rename internal sighandler to avoid clash with very old perls.
512 root 1.18 - entering ev_loop will not clear the ONESHOT or NONBLOCKING
