| 4 | TODO: signal handling per loop |
4 | - backport inotify code to C89. |
|
|
5 | - inotify file descriptors could leak into child processes. |
|
|
6 | - ev_stat watchers could keep an errornous extra ref on the loop, |
|
|
7 | preventing exit when unregistering all watchers (testcases |
|
|
8 | provided by ry@tinyclouds.org). |
|
|
9 | - implement EV_WIN32_HANDLE_TO_FD and EV_WIN32_CLOSE_FD configuration |
|
|
10 | symbols to make it easier for apps to do their own fd management. |
|
|
11 | - support EV_IDLE_ENABLE being disabled in ev++.h |
|
|
12 | (patch by Didier Spezia). |
|
|
13 | - point out the unspecified signal mask in the documentation. |
|
|
14 | - take advantage of inotify_init1, if available, to set cloexec/nonblock |
|
|
15 | on fd creation, to avoid races. |
|
|
16 | - the signal handling pipe wasn't always initialised under windows |
|
|
17 | (analysed by lekma). |
|
|
18 | - changed minimum glibc requirement from glibc 2.9 to 2.7, for |
|
|
19 | signalfd. |

|
|
22 | - incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal handler |
|
|
23 | to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped. |
|
|
24 | - ev_default_destroy did not properly free or zero some members, |
|
|
25 | potentially causing crashes and memory corruption on repated |
|
|
26 | ev_default_destroy/ev_default_loop calls. |
|
|
27 | - take advantage of signalfd on GNU/Linux systems. |
|
|
28 | - document that the signal mask might be in an unspecified |
|
|
29 | state when using libev's signal handling. |
|
|
30 | - take advantage of some GNU/Linux calls to set cloexec/nonblock |
|
|
31 | on fd creation, to avoid race conditions. |
