# Content
1 Revision history for libev, a high-performance and full-featured event loop.
2
3 - move the darwin select workaround highe rin ev.c, as newre versions of
4 darwin managed to break their broken select even more.
5 - ANDROID => __ANDROID__ (reported by enh@google.com).
6 - disable epoll_create1 on android because it has broken header files
7 and google is unwilling to fix them (reported by enh@google.com).
8 - avoid a minor compilation warning on win32.
9
10 4.24 Wed Dec 28 05:19:55 CET 2016
11 - bump version to 4.24, as the release tarball inexplicably
12 didn't have the right version in ev.h, even though the cvs-tagged
13 version did have the right one (reported by Ales Teska).
14
15 4.23 Wed Nov 16 18:23:41 CET 2016
16 - move some declarations at the beginning to help certain retarded
17 microsoft compilers, even though their documentation claims
18 otherwise (reported by Ruslan Osmanov).
19
20 4.22 Sun Dec 20 22:11:50 CET 2015
21 - when epoll detects unremovable fds in the fd set, rebuild
22 only the epoll descriptor, not the signal pipe, to avoid
23 SIGPIPE in ev_async_send. This doesn't solve it on fork,
24 so document what needs to be done in ev_loop_fork
25 (analyzed by Benjamin Mahler).
26 - remove superfluous sys/timeb.h include on win32
27 (analyzed by Jason Madden).
28 - updated libecb.
29
30 4.20 Sat Jun 20 13:01:43 CEST 2015
31 - prefer noexcept over throw () with C++ 11.
32 - update ecb.h due to incompatibilities with c11.
33 - fix a potential aliasing issue when reading and writing
34 watcher callbacks.
35
36 4.19 Thu Sep 25 08:18:25 CEST 2014
37 - ev.h wasn't valid C++ anymore, which tripped compilers other than
38 clang, msvc or gcc (analyzed by Raphael 'kena' Poss). Unfortunately,
39 C++ doesn't support typedefs for function pointers fully, so the affected
40 declarations have to spell out the types each time.
41 - when not using autoconf, tighten the check for clock_gettime and related
42 functionality.
43
44 4.18 Fri Sep 5 17:55:26 CEST 2014
45 - events on files were not always generated properly with the
46 epoll backend (testcase by Assaf Inbal).
47 - mark event pipe fd as cloexec after a fork (analyzed by Sami Farin).
48 - (ecb) support m68k, m88k and sh (patch by Miod Vallat).
49 - use a reasonable fallback for EV_NSIG instead of erroring out
50 when we can't detect the signal set size.
51 - in the absence of autoconf, do not use the clock syscall
52 on glibc >= 2.17 (avoids the syscall AND -lrt on systems
53 doing clock_gettime in userspace).
54 - ensure extern "C" function pointers are used for externally-visible
55 loop callbacks (not watcher callbacks yet).
56 - (ecb) work around memory barriers and volatile apparently both being
57 broken in visual studio 2008 and later (analysed and patch by Nicolas Noble).
58
59 4.15 Fri Mar 1 12:04:50 CET 2013
60 - destroying a non-default loop would stop the global waitpid
61 watcher (Denis Bilenko).
62 - queueing pending watchers of higher priority from a watcher now invokes
63 them in a timely fashion (reported by Denis Bilenko).
64 - add throw() to all libev functions that cannot throw exceptions, for
65 further code size decrease when compiling for C++.
66 - add throw () to callbacks that must not throw exceptions (allocator,
67 syserr, loop acquire/release, periodic reschedule cbs).
68 - fix event_base_loop return code, add event_get_callback, event_base_new,
69 event_base_get_method calls to improve libevent 1.x emulation and add
70 some libevent 2.x functionality (based on a patch by Jeff Davey).
71 - add more memory fences to fix a bug reported by Jeff Davey. Better
72 be overfenced than underprotected.
73 - ev_run now returns a boolean status (true meaning watchers are
74 still active).
75 - ev_once: undef EV_ERROR in ev_kqueue.c, to avoid clashing with
76 libev's EV_ERROR (reported by 191919).
77 - (ecb) add memory fence support for xlC (Darin McBride).
78 - (ecb) add memory fence support for gcc-mips (Anton Kirilov).
79 - (ecb) add memory fence support for gcc-alpha (Christian Weisgerber).
80 - work around some kernels losing file descriptors by leaking
81 the kqueue descriptor in the child.
82 - work around linux inotify not reporting IN_ATTRIB changes for directories
83 in many cases.
84 - include sys/syscall.h instead of plain syscall.h.
85 - check for io watcher loops in ev_verify, check for the most
86 common reported usage bug in ev_io_start.
87 - choose socket vs. WSASocket at compiletime using EV_USE_WSASOCKET.
88 - always use WSASend/WSARecv directly on windows, hoping that this
89 works in all cases (unlike read/write/send/recv...).
90 - try to detect signals around a fork faster (test program by
91 Denis Bilenko).
92 - work around recent glibc versions that leak memory in realloc.
93 - rename ev::embed::set to ev::embed::set_embed to avoid clashing
94 the watcher base set (loop) method.
95 - rewrite the async/signal pipe logic to always keep a valid fd, which
96 simplifies (and hopefully correctifies :) the race checking
97 on fork, at the cost of one extra fd.
98 - add fat, msdos, jffs2, ramfs, ntfs and btrfs to the list of
99 inotify-supporting filesystems.
100 - move orig_CFLAGS assignment to after AC_INIT, as newer autoconf
101 versions ignore it before
102 (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=908096).
103 - add some untested android support.
104 - enum expressions must be of type int (reported by Juan Pablo L).
105
106 4.11 Sat Feb 4 19:52:39 CET 2012
107 - INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE: ev_timer_again now clears the pending status, as
108 was documented already, but not implemented in the repeating case.
109 - new compiletime symbols: EV_NO_SMP and EV_NO_THREADS.
110 - fix a race where the workaround against the epoll fork bugs
111 caused signals to not be handled anymore.
112 - correct backend_fudge for most backends, and implement a windows
113 specific workaround to avoid looping because we call both
114 select and Sleep, both with different time resolutions.
115 - document range and guarantees of ev_sleep.
116 - document reasonable ranges for periodics interval and offset.
117 - rename backend_fudge to backend_mintime to avoid future confusion :)
118 - change the default periodic reschedule function to hopefully be more
119 exact and correct even in corner cases or in the far future.
120 - do not rely on -lm anymore: use it when available but use our
121 own floor () if it is missing. This should make it easier to embed,
122 as no external libraries are required.
123 - strategically import macros from libecb and mark rarely-used functions
124 as cache-cold (saving almost 2k code size on typical amd64 setups).
125 - add Symbols.ev and Symbols.event files, that were missing.
126 - fix backend_mintime value for epoll (was 1/1024, is 1/1000 now).
127 - fix #3 "be smart about timeouts" to not "deadlock" when
128 timeout == now, also improve the section overall.
129 - avoid "AVOIDING FINISHING BEFORE RETURNING" idiom.
130 - support new EV_API_STATIC mode to make all libev symbols
131 static.
132 - supply default CFLAGS of -g -O3 with gcc when original CFLAGS
133 were empty.
134
135 4.04 Wed Feb 16 09:01:51 CET 2011
136 - fix two problems in the native win32 backend, where reuse of fd's
137 with different underlying handles caused handles not to be removed
138 or added to the select set (analyzed and tested by Bert Belder).
139 - do no rely on ceil() in ev_e?poll.c.
140 - backport libev to HP-UX versions before 11 v3.
141 - configure did not detect nanosleep and clock_gettime properly when
142 they are available in the libc (as opposed to -lrt).
143
144 4.03 Tue Jan 11 14:37:25 CET 2011
145 - officially support polling files with all backends.
146 - support files, /dev/zero etc. the same way as select in the epoll
147 backend, by generating events on our own.
148 - ports backend: work around solaris bug 6874410 and many related ones
149 (EINTR, maybe more), with no performance loss (note that the solaris
150 bug report is actually wrong, reality is far more bizarre and broken
151 than that).
152 - define EV_READ/EV_WRITE as macros in event.h, as some programs use
153 #ifdef to test for them.
154 - new (experimental) function: ev_feed_signal.
155 - new (to become default) EVFLAG_NOSIGMASK flag.
156 - new EVBACKEND_MASK symbol.
157 - updated COMMON IDIOMS SECTION.
158
159 4.01 Fri Nov 5 21:51:29 CET 2010
160 - automake fucked it up, apparently, --add-missing -f is not quite enough
161 to make it update its files, so 4.00 didn't install ev++.h and
162 event.h on make install. grrr.
163 - ev_loop(count|depth) didn't return anything (Robin Haberkorn).
164 - change EV_UNDEF to 0xffffffff to silence some overzealous compilers.
165 - use "(libev) " prefix for all libev error messages now.
166
167 4.00 Mon Oct 25 12:32:12 CEST 2010
168 - "PORTING FROM LIBEV 3.X TO 4.X" (in ev.pod) is recommended reading.
169 - ev_embed_stop did not correctly stop the watcher (very good
170 testcase by Vladimir Timofeev).
171 - ev_run will now always update the current loop time - it erroneously
172 didn't when idle watchers were active, causing timers not to fire.
173 - fix a bug where a timeout of zero caused the timer not to fire
174 in the libevent emulation (testcase by Péter Szabó).
175 - applied win32 fixes by Michael Lenaghan (also James Mansion).
176 - replace EV_MINIMAL by EV_FEATURES.
177 - prefer EPOLL_CTL_ADD over EPOLL_CTL_MOD in some more cases, as it
178 seems the former is *much* faster than the latter.
179 - linux kernel version detection (for inotify bug workarounds)
180 did not work properly.
181 - reduce the number of spurious wake-ups with the ports backend.
182 - remove dependency on sys/queue.h on freebsd (patch by Vanilla Hsu).
183 - do async init within ev_async_start, not ev_async_set, which avoids
184 an API quirk where the set function must be called in the C++ API
185 even when there is nothing to set.
186 - add (undocumented) EV_ENABLE when adding events with kqueue,
187 this might help with OS X, which seems to need it despite documenting
188 not to need it (helpfully pointed out by Tilghman Lesher).
189 - do not use poll by default on freebsd, it's broken (what isn't
190 on freebsd...).
191 - allow to embed epoll on kernels >= 2.6.32.
192 - configure now prepends -O3, not appends it, so one can still
193 override it.
194 - ev.pod: greatly expanded the portability section, added a porting
195 section, a description of watcher states and made lots of minor fixes.
196 - disable poll backend on AIX, the poll header spams the namespace
197 and it's not worth working around dead platforms (reported
198 and analyzed by Aivars Kalvans).
199 - improve header file compatibility of the standalone eventfd code
200 in an obscure case.
201 - implement EV_AVOID_STDIO option.
202 - do not use sscanf to parse linux version number (smaller, faster,
203 no sscanf dependency).
204 - new EV_CHILD_ENABLE and EV_SIGNAL_ENABLE configurable settings.
205 - update libev.m4 HAVE_CLOCK_SYSCALL test for newer glibcs.
206 - add section on accept() problems to the manpage.
207 - rename EV_TIMEOUT to EV_TIMER.
208 - rename ev_loop_count/depth/verify/loop/unloop.
209 - remove ev_default_destroy and ev_default_fork.
210 - switch to two-digit minor version.
211 - work around an apparent gentoo compiler bug.
212 - define _DARWIN_UNLIMITED_SELECT. just so.
213 - use enum instead of #define for most constants.
214 - improve compatibility to older C++ compilers.
215 - (experimental) ev_run/ev_default_loop/ev_break/ev_loop_new have now
216 default arguments when compiled as C++.
217 - enable automake dependency tracking.
218 - ev_loop_new no longer leaks memory when loop creation failed.
219 - new ev_cleanup watcher type.
220
221 3.9 Thu Dec 31 07:59:59 CET 2009
222 - signalfd is no longer used by default and has to be requested
223 explicitly - this means that easy to catch bugs become hard to
224 catch race conditions, but the users have spoken.
225 - point out the unspecified signal mask in the documentation, and
226 that this is a race condition regardless of EV_SIGNALFD.
227 - backport inotify code to C89.
228 - inotify file descriptors could leak into child processes.
229 - ev_stat watchers could keep an erroneous extra ref on the loop,
230 preventing exit when unregistering all watchers (testcases
231 provided by ry@tinyclouds.org).
232 - implement EV_WIN32_HANDLE_TO_FD and EV_WIN32_CLOSE_FD configuration
233 symbols to make it easier for apps to do their own fd management.
234 - support EV_IDLE_ENABLE being disabled in ev++.h
235 (patch by Didier Spezia).
236 - take advantage of inotify_init1, if available, to set cloexec/nonblock
237 on fd creation, to avoid races.
238 - the signal handling pipe wasn't always initialised under windows
239 (analysed by lekma).
240 - changed minimum glibc requirement from glibc 2.9 to 2.7, for
241 signalfd.
242 - add missing string.h include (Denis F. Latypoff).
243 - only replace ev_stat.prev when we detect an actual difference,
244 so prev is (almost) always different to attr. this might
245 have caused the problems with 04_stat.t.
246 - add ev::timer->remaining () method to C++ API.
247
248 3.8 Sun Aug 9 14:30:45 CEST 2009
249 - incompatible change: do not necessarily reset signal handler
250 to SIG_DFL when a sighandler is stopped.
251 - ev_default_destroy did not properly free or zero some members,
252 potentially causing crashes and memory corruption on repeated
253 ev_default_destroy/ev_default_loop calls.
254 - take advantage of signalfd on GNU/Linux systems.
255 - document that the signal mask might be in an unspecified
256 state when using libev's signal handling.
257 - take advantage of some GNU/Linux calls to set cloexec/nonblock
258 on fd creation, to avoid race conditions.
259
260 3.7 Fri Jul 17 16:36:32 CEST 2009
261 - ev_unloop and ev_loop wrongly used a global variable to exit loops,
262 instead of using a per-loop variable (bug caught by accident...).
263 - the ev_set_io_collect_interval interpretation has changed.
264 - add new functionality: ev_set_userdata, ev_userdata,
265 ev_set_invoke_pending_cb, ev_set_loop_release_cb,
266 ev_invoke_pending, ev_pending_count, together with a long example
267 about thread locking.
268 - add ev_timer_remaining (as requested by Denis F. Latypoff).
269 - add ev_loop_depth.
270 - calling ev_unloop in fork/prepare watchers will no longer poll
271 for new events.
272 - Denis F. Latypoff corrected many typos in example code snippets.
273 - honor autoconf detection of EV_USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL, also double-
274 check that the syscall number is available before trying to
275 use it (reported by ry@tinyclouds).
276 - use GetSystemTimeAsFileTime instead of _timeb on windows, for
277 slightly higher accuracy.
278 - properly declare ev_loop_verify and ev_now_update even when
279 !EV_MULTIPLICITY.
280 - do not compile in any priority code when EV_MAXPRI == EV_MINPRI.
281 - support EV_MINIMAL==2 for a reduced API.
282 - actually 0-initialise struct sigaction when installing signals.
283 - add section on hibernate and stopped processes to ev_timer docs.
284
285 3.6 Tue Apr 28 02:49:30 CEST 2009
286 - multiple timers becoming ready within an event loop iteration
287 will be invoked in the "correct" order now.
288 - do not leave the event loop early just because we have no active
289 watchers, fixing a problem when embedding a kqueue loop
290 that has active kernel events but no registered watchers
291 (reported by blacksand blacksand).
292 - correctly zero the idx values for arrays, so destroying and
293 reinitialising the default loop actually works (patch by
294 Malek Hadj-Ali).
295 - implement ev_suspend and ev_resume.
296 - new EV_CUSTOM revents flag for use by applications.
297 - add documentation section about priorities.
298 - add a glossary to the documentation.
299 - extend the ev_fork description slightly.
300 - optimize a jump out of call_pending.
301
302 3.53 Sun Feb 15 02:38:20 CET 2009
303 - fix a bug in event pipe creation on win32 that would cause a
304 failed assertion on event loop creation (patch by Malek Hadj-Ali).
305 - probe for CLOCK_REALTIME support at runtime as well and fall
306 back to gettimeofday if there is an error, to support older
307 operating systems with newer header files/libraries.
308 - prefer gettimeofday over clock_gettime with USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL
309 (default most everywhere), otherwise not.
310
311 3.52 Wed Jan 7 21:43:02 CET 2009
312 - fix compilation of select backend in fd_set mode when NFDBITS is
313 missing (to get it to compile on QNX, reported by Rodrigo Campos).
314 - better select-nfds handling when select backend is in fd_set mode.
315 - diagnose fd_set overruns when select backend is in fd_set mode.
316 - due to a thinko, instead of disabling everything but
317 select on the borked OS X platform, everything but select was
318 allowed (reported by Emanuele Giaquinta).
319 - actually verify that local and remote port are matching in
320 libev's socketpair emulation, which makes denial-of-service
321 attacks harder (but not impossible - it's windows). Make sure
322 it even works under vista, which thinks that getpeer/sockname
323 should return fantasy port numbers.
324 - include "libev" in all assertion messages for potentially
325 clearer diagnostics.
326 - event_get_version (libevent compatibility) returned
327 a useless string instead of the expected version string
328 (patch by W.C.A. Wijngaards).
329
330 3.51 Wed Dec 24 23:00:11 CET 2008
331 - fix a bug where an inotify watcher was added twice, causing
332 freezes on hash collisions (reported and analysed by Graham Leggett).
333 - new config symbol, EV_USE_CLOCK_SYSCALL, to make libev use
334 a direct syscall - slower, but no dependency on librt et al.
335 - assume negative return values != -1 signals success of port_getn
336 (http://cvs.epicsol.org/cgi/viewcvs.cgi/epic5/source/newio.c?rev=1.52)
337 (no known failure reports, but it doesn't hurt).
338 - fork detection in ev_embed now stops and restarts the watcher
339 automatically.
340 - EXPERIMENTAL: default the method to operator () in ev++.h,
341 to make it nicer to use functors (requested by Benedek László).
342 - fixed const object callbacks in ev++.h.
343 - replaced loop_ref argument of watcher.set (loop) by a direct
344 ev_loop * in ev++.h, to avoid clashes with functor patch.
345 - do not try to watch the empty string via inotify.
346 - inotify watchers could be leaked under certain circumstances.
347 - OS X 10.5 is actually even more broken than earlier versions,
348 so fall back to select on that piece of garbage.
349 - fixed some weirdness in the ev_embed documentation.
350
351 3.49 Wed Nov 19 11:26:53 CET 2008
352 - ev_stat watchers will now use inotify as a mere hint on
353 kernels <2.6.25, or if the filesystem is not in the
354 "known to be good" list.
355 - better mingw32 compatibility (it's not as borked as native win32)
356 (analysed by Roger Pack).
357 - include stdio.h in the example program, as too many people are
358 confused by the weird C language otherwise. I guess the next thing
359 I get told is that the "..." ellipses in the examples don't compile
360 with their C compiler.
361
362 3.48 Thu Oct 30 09:02:37 CET 2008
363 - further optimise away the EPOLL_CTL_ADD/MOD combo in the epoll
364 backend by assuming the kernel event mask hasn't changed if
365 ADD fails with EEXIST.
366 - work around spurious event notification bugs in epoll by using
367 a 32-bit generation counter. recreate kernel state if we receive
368 spurious notifications or unwanted events. this is very costly,
369 but I didn't come up with this horrible design.
370 - use memset to initialise most arrays now and do away with the
371 init functions.
372 - expand time-out strategies into a "Be smart about timeouts" section.
373 - drop the "struct" from all ev_watcher declarations in the
374 documentation and did other clarifications (yeah, it was a mistake
375 to have a struct AND a function called ev_loop).
376 - fix a bug where ev_default would not initialise the default
377 loop again after it was destroyed with ev_default_destroy.
378 - rename syserr to ev_syserr to avoid name clashes when embedding,
379 do similar changes for event.c.
380
381 3.45 Tue Oct 21 21:59:26 CEST 2008
382 - disable inotify usage on linux <2.6.25, as it is broken
383 (reported by Yoann Vandoorselaere).
384 - ev_stat erroneously would try to add inotify watchers
385 even when inotify wasn't available (this should only
386 have a performance impact).
387 - ev_once now passes both timeout and io to the callback if both
388 occur concurrently, instead of giving timeouts precedence.
389 - disable EV_USE_INOTIFY when sys/inotify.h is too old.
390
391 3.44 Mon Sep 29 05:18:39 CEST 2008
392 - embed watchers now automatically invoke ev_loop_fork on the
393 embedded loop when the parent loop forks.
394 - new function: ev_now_update (loop).
395 - verify_watcher was not marked static.
396 - improve the "associating..." manpage section.
397 - documentation tweaks here and there.
398
399 3.43 Sun Jul 6 05:34:41 CEST 2008
400 - include more include files on windows to get struct _stati64
401 (reported by Chris Hulbert, but doesn't quite fix his issue).
402 - add missing #include <io.h> in ev.c on windows (reported by
403 Matt Tolton).
404
405 3.42 Tue Jun 17 12:12:07 CEST 2008
406 - work around yet another windows bug: FD_SET actually adds fd's
407 multiple times to the fd_*SET*, despite official MSN docs claiming
408 otherwise. Reported and well-analysed by Matt Tolton.
409 - define NFDBITS to 0 when EV_SELECT_IS_WINSOCKET to make it compile
410 (reported any analysed by Chris Hulbert).
411 - fix a bug in ev_ebadf (this function is only used to catch
412 programming errors in the libev user). reported by Matt Tolton.
413 - fix a bug in fd_intern on win32 (could lead to compile errors
414 under some circumstances, but would work correctly if it compiles).
415 reported by Matt Tolton.
416 - (try to) work around missing lstat on windows.
417 - pass in the write fd set as except fd set under windows. windows
418 is so uncontrollably lame that it requires this. this means that
419 switching off oobinline is not supported (but tcp/ip doesn't
420 have oob, so that would be stupid anyways.
421 - use posix module symbol to auto-detect monotonic clock presence
422 and some other default values.
423
424 3.41 Fri May 23 18:42:54 CEST 2008
425 - work around an obscure bug in winsocket select: if you
426 provide only empty fd sets then select returns WSAEINVAL. how sucky.
427 - improve timer scheduling stability and reduce use of time_epsilon.
428 - use 1-based 2-heap for EV_MINIMAL, simplifies code, reduces
429 codesize and makes for better cache-efficiency.
430 - use 3-based 4-heap for !EV_MINIMAL. this makes better use
431 of cpu cache lines and gives better growth behaviour than
432 2-based heaps.
433 - cache timestamp within heap for !EV_MINIMAL, to avoid random
434 memory accesses.
435 - document/add EV_USE_4HEAP and EV_HEAP_CACHE_AT.
436 - fix a potential aliasing issue in ev_timer_again.
437 - add/document ev_periodic_at, retract direct access to ->at.
438 - improve ev_stat docs.
439 - add portability requirements section.
440 - fix manpage headers etc.
441 - normalise WSA error codes to lower range on windows.
442 - add consistency check code that can be called automatically
443 or on demand to check for internal structures (ev_loop_verify).

462 also makes the erroneous valgrind complaints
463 go away (noted by various people).
