Furthermore, @libevent also support callbacks due + * to signals or regular timeouts. * - * libevent is meant to replace the event loop found in event driven network - * servers. An application just needs to call dispatcher::dispatch() and then - * add or remove events dynamically without having to change the event loop. + * @eventxx is a simple, direct, one-header inline C++ wrapper for @libevent. + * Yes, it's just one header file, so if you want to use it you can just copy + * the file to your project and you are set (well, you'll need to link to + * @libevent too ;). I know @eventxx will work with @libevent 1.1 and 1.2 if you + * use the @c event_base_free() fix (see \ref Status section for more details). * - * Currently, libevent supports /dev/poll, kqueue(2), select(2), poll(2) and - * epoll(4). It also has experimental support for real-time signals. The - * internal event mechanism is completely independent of the exposed event API, - * and a simple update of libevent can provide new functionality without having - * to redesign the applications. As a result, Libevent allows for portable - * application development and provides the most scalable event notification - * mechanism available on an operating system. Libevent should compile on Linux, - * *BSD, Mac OS X, Solaris and Windows. + * It's designed to be as close to use to @libevent (without compromising + * modern C++ programming techniques) and efficient (since all implementation + * is trivial and inline, theoretically, it imposes no overhead at all) as + * possible. * - * This is a simple, direct, one-header inline C++ wrapper for libevent. - * It's designed to be as close to use to libevent without compromising modern - * C++ programming techniques and efficiency (since all implementation is - * trivial and inline, theoretically, it imposes no overhead at all). + * Please, visit the @eventxx website for the latest version of this + * documentation. + * + * You can always get the current + * release from the + * release + * directory or grab the + * most up to date + * sources from the darcs repository. + * + * You can also take a look the the darcsweb interface to see + * the latest + * changes online or subscribe to its + * RSS + * feed to follow the development. * * * @section Usage * - * The best way to explain how this works is by examples. TODO + * You probably should read @libevent documentation to get started or at least + * just for reference, although @eventxx is pretty simple so you can jump right + * into the \ref Example section (or the example list) and write a working + * program without much trouble. + * + * This wrapper was designed to be used just like @libevent, but with C++ style + * syntax sugar (or poison, depends on your point of view ;) and goodies. The + * main difference to libevent is you always have to instance a + * eventxx::dispatcher to get an event loop. There is no implicit global event + * loop. This adds just an extra line of code for single threaded applications + * and makes things much more simpler, so I hope nobody complains about it ;). + * See eventxx::dispatcher documentation for more details. + * + * You can use use the same plain functions callbacks @libevent use or the other + * kind of function objects (see @ref events section for details on event + * types). + * + * @eventxx uses @ref exceptions to report errors. All functions have exception + * specifications, so it's easy to find out what to expect. See @ref exceptions + * section for more detail. + * + * A @c timespec abstraction is provided as eventxx::time for convenient + * argument passing. Even more, it's a @c timespec itself, with some convenient + * methods for accessing the attributes with pritier names. And even more, + * @eventxx is such a direct mapping that all eventxx::event's are @libevent + * event structs too, so theoretically you can pass a eventxx::event to + * @libevent C functions without much trouble. eventxx::dispatcher is the only + * class that is not derived from @libevent struct (@c event_base) because this + * struct it's not defined on the libevent header (just declared). + * + * Maybe you shouldn't know this implementation details to keep the abstraction, + * but this is a basic design goal of this wrapper so there is not much chance + * that this changes in the future (but use this knowledge with care, you have + * been warned ;). + * + * + * @section Example + * + * @code + * #include + * #include + * #include + * + * struct handler + * { + * eventxx::dispatcher& d; + * int i; + * handler(eventxx::dispatcher& d): d(d), i(0) {} + * void operator() (int signum, eventxx::type event) + * { + * if (i < 5) std::cout << "keep going...\n"; + * else + * { + * std::cout << "done!\n"; + * d.exit(); + * } + * } + * }; + * + * void sighandler(int signum, short event, void* data) + * { + * int& i = *static_cast< int* >(data); + * std::cout << ++i << " interrupts, "; + * } + * + * int main() + * { + * eventxx::dispatcher d; + * handler h(d); + * eventxx::csignal sigev(SIGINT, sighandler, &h.i); + * eventxx::signal< handler > e(SIGINT, h); + * d.add(sigev); + * d.add(e); + * d.dispatch(); + * return 0; + * } + * @endcode + * + * You can see more examples on the test directory of the distribution or on the + * examples related page. + * + * + * @section Status + * + * This library has not been widely used yet, so it lacks proper testing. + * Because templates are not even compiled when they are not used, don't be + * surprised if you catch a piece of code that doesn't compile. The library + * has no support for buffered events yet. It doesn't support the HTTP stuff, + * and probably never will because that has nothing to do with event handling. + * + * If you notice that when using @eventxx your program leaks some memory, don't + * blame me, blame @libevent :) @libevent has a known bug on @c event_base_free() + * that makes it assert always, so @c event_base_free() is unusable, unless you + * patch your libevent (for example, using this patch + * written by Mark D. Anderson, and who knows why it's not still applied). If + * you do so, you can compile your programs with @c -DEVENT_BASE_FREE_FIX so + * @c event_base_free() gets called in the eventxx::dispatcher @link + * eventxx::dispatcher::~dispatcher() destructor @endlink. + * + * That said, I think it's still pretty usable anyways. If something is broken + * it would be really easy to fix because @eventxx is just a simple wrapper + * around @libevent.
