3922For all this to work, your C++ compiler either has to use the same calling
3923conventions as your C compiler (for static member functions), or you have
3924to embed libev and compile libev itself as C++.

4515If defined to be C<1>, libev will assume that memory is always coherent
4516between threads, that is, threads can be used, but threads never run on
4517different cpus (or different cpu cores). This reduces dependencies
4518and makes libev faster.

4522If defined to be C<1>, libev will assume that it will never be called
4523from different threads, which is a stronger assumption than C<EV_NO_SMP>,
4524above. This reduces dependencies and makes libev faster.
