Update libev to version 4.04. Provided by Oleksandr Kozachuk in PR pkg/44690 Changes: 4.04 Wed Feb 16 09:01:51 CET 2011 - fix two problems in the native win32 backend, where reuse of fd's with different underlying handles caused handles not to be removed or added to the select set (analyzed and tested by Bert Belder). - do no rely on ceil() in ev_e?poll.c. - backport libev to HP-UX versions before 11 v3. - configure did not detect nanosleep and clock_gettime properly when they are available in the libc (as opposed to -lrt). 4.03 Tue Jan 11 14:37:25 CET 2011 - officially support polling files with all backends. - support files, /dev/zero etc. the same way as select in the epoll backend, by generating events on our own. - ports backend: work around solaris bug 6874410 and many related ones (EINTR, maybe more), with no performance loss (note that the solaris bug report is actually wrong, reality is far more bizarre and broken than that). - define EV_READ/EV_WRITE as macros in event.h, as some programs use #ifdef to test for them. - new (experimental) function: ev_feed_signal. - new (to become default) EVFLAG_NOSIGMASK flag. - new EVBACKEND_MASK symbol. - updated COMMON IDIOMS SECTION. 2011-03-06 17:09:42 +01:00			$NetBSD: distinfo,v 1.5 2011/03/06 16:09:42 asau Exp $
Importing package for libev-3.7 (recommended dependency for p5 module AnyEvent). Libev is modelled (very losely) after libevent and the Event perl module, but is faster, scales better and is more correct, and also more featureful. And also smaller. Yay. Some of the specialties of libev not commonly found elsewhere are: - extensive and detailed, readable documentation (not doxygen garbage). - fully supports fork, can detect fork in various ways and automatically re-arms kernel mechanisms that do not support fork. - highly optimised select, poll, epoll, kqueue and event ports backends. - filesystem object (path) watching (with optional linux inotify support). - wallclock-based times (using absolute time, cron-like). - relative timers/timeouts (handle time jumps). - fast intra-thread communication between multiple event loops (with optional fast linux eventfd backend). - extremely easy to embed. - very small codebase, no bloated library. - fully extensible by being able to plug into the event loop, integrate other event loops, integrate other event loop users. - very little memory use (small watchers, small event loop data). - optional C++ interface allowing method and function callbacks at no extra memory or runtime overhead. - optional Perl interface with similar characteristics (capable of running Glib/Gtk2 on libev, interfaces with Net::SNMP and libadns). - support for other languages (multiple C++ interfaces, D, Ruby, Python) available from third-parties. Examples of programs that embed libev: the EV perl module, rxvt-unicode, gvpe (GNU Virtual Private Ethernet), the Deliantra MMORPG server (http://www.deliantra.net/), Rubinius (a next-generation Ruby VM), the Ebb web server, the Rev event toolkit. 2009-08-08 21:40:37 +02:00
