The ChangeLog file mentioned that rtsig support was removed in 1.40-beta:
Changes in 1.4.0-beta:
....
o Remove support for the rtsig method: it hasn't compiled for a while ...
With the patch against libevent 1.3e included below, rtsig.c compiles.
I only noticed that RT signals were supported because the 1.4.3 man
page had the (obsolete) note:
Support for real-time signals is due to Taral.
NOTE!
I have not yet tested it. A client of mine is looking at converting
an application from RT signals to epoll, and I wanted to benchmark the
performance of the two mechanisms (no paper I've found covers both),
and libevent looked like a good way to test the two head on, and
perhaps the ideal new API to use).
Suggestions on testing/benchmarking methods would be most welcome
(ie; programs/scripts to generate graphs found on the libevent home page)!
