Hi! Over the last few days, I took all of your feedback that arrived in time or was actable upon and updated libev.
Its available at http://dist.schmorp.de/libev/libev-1.3e.tar.gz It has now been tested on freebsd, linux, windows and os x, and is used by a number of gvpe and urxvt installations by now. Here are the highlights/changes: - an enourmous number of bugs have been fixed. I really wonder how it ever worked before (yeah, obviously, because the basic stuff worked :). - the select backend has been completely rewritten and now supports FD_SET and direct-access modes (as well as win32). - the select backend can optionally be told to use the raw winsocket select, and libev will cache osf handles in this case (fd-based selects are still supported). - poll has been bugfixed. - the code has been compiletested as c++. - kqueue has been considerably improved. - the libevent emulation now declares and manages the ev_flags member (in a half-assed way, more work would be neeccessary to really support this member perfectly). - whoever had issues with the word shit in the source, I found a simpler, less annoying way to work around some bugs in msvc, and consequently could avoid using shit (not sure wether the new version is any better, though :) - both poll and kqueue have been found to be defective on os x, and the libevent test for broken kqueue does not detect this condition, so for the time being those backends are disabled. - there is the beginning of a c++ adaptor which is designed to replace the older io_manager event loop to some extent. - a number of embedding features such as being able to override more behaviour, better autoconfiguration or beginning autoconf-support (example usage is in both urxvt and gvpe). Thanks again for all your feedback, but especially to Emanuele Giaquinta, who constantly helped me check the design for flaws and tested, and tested, and tested... If this continues for a few months, I think libev will be quite capable of replacing libevent completely. -- The choice of a Deliantra, the free code+content MORPG -----==- _GNU_ http://www.deliantra.net ----==-- _ generation ---==---(_)__ __ ____ __ Marc Lehmann --==---/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / [EMAIL PROTECTED] -=====/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ _______________________________________________ Libevent-users mailing list Libevent-users@monkey.org http://monkeymail.org/mailman/listinfo/libevent-users
