|
|
14 | - when epoll detects unremovable fds in the fd set, rebuild |
|
|
15 | only the epoll descriptor, not the signal pipe, to avoid |
|
|
16 | SIGPIPE in ev_async_send. This doesn't solve it on fork, |
|
|
17 | so document what needs to be done in ev_loop_fork |
|
|
18 | (analyzed by Benjamin Mahler). |
|
|
19 | - remove superfluous sys/timeb.h include on win32 |
|
|
20 | (analyzed by Jason Madden). |
|
|
21 | - updated libecb. |

23 | 4.20 Sat Jun 20 13:01:43 CEST 2015 |
|
|
24 | - prefer noexcept over throw () with C++ 11. |
|
|
25 | - update ecb.h due to incompatibilities with c11. |
|
|
26 | - fix a potential aliasing issue when reading and writing |
|
|
27 | watcher callbacks. |
|
|

|
29 | 4.19 Thu Sep 25 08:18:25 CEST 2014 |
|
|
30 | - ev.h wasn't valid C++ anymore, which tripped compilers other than |
|
|
31 | clang, msvc or gcc (analyzed by Raphael 'kena' Poss). Unfortunately, |
|
|
32 | C++ doesn't support typedefs for function pointers fully, so the affected |
|
|
33 | declarations have to spell out the types each time. |
|
|
34 | - when not using autoconf, tighten the check for clock_gettime and related |
|
|
35 | functionality. |
|
|
36 | |
|
|
37 | 4.18 Fri Sep 5 17:55:26 CEST 2014 |
|
|
38 | - events on files were not always generated properly with the |
|
|
39 | epoll backend (testcase by Assaf Inbal). |
|
|
40 | - mark event pipe fd as cloexec after a fork (analyzed by Sami Farin). |
|
|
41 | - (ecb) support m68k, m88k and sh (patch by Miod Vallat). |
|
|
42 | - use a reasonable fallback for EV_NSIG instead of erroring out |
|
|
43 | when we can't detect the signal set size. |
|
|
44 | - in the absence of autoconf, do not use the clock syscall |
|
|
45 | on glibc >= 2.17 (avoids the syscall AND -lrt on systems |
|
|
46 | doing clock_gettime in userspace). |
|
|
47 | - ensure extern "C" function pointers are used for externally-visible |
|
|
48 | loop callbacks (not watcher callbacks yet). |
|
|
49 | - (ecb) work around memory barriers and volatile apparently both being |
|
|
50 | broken in visual studio 2008 and later (analysed and patch by Nicolas Noble). |
