|
|
4 | - fix a bug in event pipe creation on win32 that would cause a |
|
|
5 | failed assertion on event loop creation (patch by Malek Hadj-Ali). |
|
|
6 | - probe for CLOCK_REALTIME support at runtime as well and fall |
|
|
7 | back to gettimeofday if there is an error, to support older |
|
|
8 | operating systems with newer header files/libraries. |
|
|
9 | - prefer gettimeofday over clock_gettime with USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL |
|
|
10 | (default most everywhere), otherwise not. |

|
|
13 | - fix compilation of select backend in fd_set mode when NFDBITS is |
|
|
14 | missing (to get it to compile on QNX, reported by Rodrigo Campos). |
|
|
15 | - better select-nfds handling when select backend is in fd_set mode. |
|
|
16 | - diagnose fd_set overruns when select backend is in fd_set mode. |
|
|
17 | - due to a thinko, instead of disabling everything but |
|
|
18 | select on the borked OS X platform, everything but select was |
|
|
19 | allowed (reported by Emanuele Giaquinta). |
|
|
20 | - actually verify that local and remote port are matching in |
|
|
21 | libev's socketpair emulation, which makes denial-of-service |
|
|
22 | attacks harder (but not impossible - it's windows). Make sure |
|
|
23 | it even works under vista, which thinks that getpeer/sockname |
|
|
24 | should return fantasy port numbers. |
|
|
25 | - include "libev" in all assertion messages for potentially |
|
|
26 | clearer diagnostics. |
|
|
27 | - event_get_version (libevent compatibility) returned |
|
|
28 | a useless string instead of the expected version string |
|
|
29 | (patch by W.C.A. Wijngaards). |

31 | 3.51 Wed Dec 24 23:00:11 CET 2008 |
|
|
32 | - fix a bug where an inotify watcher was added twice, causing |
|
|
33 | freezes on hash collisions (reported and analysed by Graham Leggett). |
|
|
34 | - new config symbol, EV_USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL, to make libev use |
|
|
35 | a direct syscall - slower, but no dependency on librt et al. |
|
|
36 | - assume negative return values != -1 signals success of port_getn |
|
|
37 | (http://cvs.epicsol.org/cgi/viewcvs.cgi/epic5/source/newio.c?rev=1.52) |
|
|
38 | (no known failure reports, but it doesn't hurt). |
|
|
39 | - fork detection in ev_embed now stops and restarts the watcher |
|
|
40 | automatically. |
|
|
41 | - EXPERIMENTAL: default the method to operator () in ev++.h, |
|
|
42 | to make it nicer to use functors (requested by Benedek László). |
|
|
43 | - fixed const object callbacks in ev++.h. |
|
|
44 | - replaced loop_ref argument of watcher.set (loop) by a direct |
|
|
45 | ev_loop * in ev++.h, to avoid clashes with functor patch. |
|
|
46 | - do not try to watch the empty string via inotify. |
|
|
47 | - inotify watchers could be leaked under certain circumstances. |
|
|
48 | - OS X 10.5 is actually even more broken than earlier versions, |
|
|
49 | so fall back to select on that piece of garbage. |
|
|
50 | - fixed some weirdness in the ev_embed documentation. |
|
|
51 | |

55 | "known to be good" list. |
|
|
56 | - better mingw32 compatibility (it's not as borked as native win32) |
|
|
57 | (analysed by Roger Pack). |
|
|
58 | - include stdio.h in the example program, as too many people are |
|
|
59 | confused by the weird C language otherwise. I guess the next thing |
|
|
60 | I get told is that the "..." ellipses in the examples don't compile |
|
|
61 | with their C compiler. |
