|
|
20 | - destroying a non-default loop would stop the global waitpid |
|
|
21 | watcher (Denis Bilenko). |
|
|
22 | - queueing pending watchers of higher priority from a watcher now invokes |
|
|
23 | them in a timely fashion (reported by Denis Bilenko). |
|
|
24 | - add throw() to all libev functions that cannot throw exceptions, for |
|
|
25 | further code size decrease when compiling for C++. |
|
|
26 | - add throw () to callbacks that must not throw exceptions (allocator, |
|
|
27 | syserr, loop acquire/release, periodic reschedule cbs). |
| 9 | - fix event_base_loop return code, add event_get_callback, event_base_new, |

|
|
31 | - add more memory fences to fix a bug reported by Jeff Davey. Better |
|
|
32 | be overfenced than underprotected. |

41 | the kqueue descriptor in the child. |
|
|
42 | - work around linux inotify not reporting IN_ATTRIB changes for directories |
|
|
43 | in many cases. |
|
|
44 | - include sys/syscall.h instead of plain syscall.h. |
|
|
45 | - check for io watcher loops in ev_verify, check for the most |
|
|
46 | common reported usage bug in ev_io_start. |
|
|
47 | - choose socket vs. WSASocket at compiletime using EV_USE_WSASOCKET. |
|
|
48 | - always use WSASend/WSARecv directly on windows, hoping that this |
|
|
49 | works in all cases (unlike read/write/send/recv...). |
|
|
50 | - try to detect signals around a fork faster (test program by |
|
|
51 | Denis Bilenko). |
|
|
52 | - work around recent glibc versions that leak memory in realloc. |
|
|
53 | - rename ev::embed::set to ev::embed::set_embed to avoid clashing |
|
|
54 | the watcher base set (loop) method. |
|
|
55 | - rewrite the async/signal pipe logic to always keep a valid fd, which |
|
|
56 | simplifies (and hopefully correctifies :) the race checking |
|
|
57 | on fork, at the cost of one extra fd. |
|
|
58 | - add fat, msdos, jffs2, ramfs, ntfs and btrfs to the list of |
|
|
59 | inotify-supporting filesystems. |
|
|
60 | - move orig_CFLAGS assignment to after AC_INIT, as newer autoconf |
|
|
61 | versions ignore it before |
|
|
62 | (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=908096). |
|
|
63 | - add some untested android support. |
|
|
64 | - enum expressions must be of type int (reported by Juan Pablo L). |
