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. - * - * 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. - * - * This 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. - * - * 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 documentation. - * - * You can always get - * the most up to date sources from the - * darcs. - * - * You can also take a look the the darcsweb interface to see - * the latest - * changes online. - * - * - * @section Usage - * - * 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 simple. See eventxx::dispatcher documentation for - * more details. - * - * You can use use the same plain functions callbacks or the other kind of - * function objects (see @link events @endlink section for details on event - * types). - * - * eventxx uses @link exceptions @endlink to report errors. All functions has - * exception specifications, so it's easy to find out what to expect. See - * exceptions section for more detail. - * - * A timespec abstraction is provided in eventxx::time for convenient argument - * passing. Even more, it's a timespec itself, with some convenient methods for - * accessing the timespec attributes in a more C++ way. 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 (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 are - * 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, short 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 some more examples on the test directory of the distribution or - * on the examples related page. - * - * - * @section Status - * - * This library was not widely used yet, it lack some testing. Because templates - * are not even compiled when they are used, you can't be surprised if you catch - * a piece of code that didn't got even compiled yet because the lack of - * testing. The library has no support for buffered events yet either. It - * doesn't support the http stuff, and probably never will because that has - * nothing to do with event handling. - * - * If you notice this lib leaks memory, don't blame me, blame libevent :) - * libevent has a known bug on event_base_free() that makes it assert always, so - * event_base_free() it's 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 -DEVENT_BASE_FREE_FIX so - * event_base_free() gets called. - * - * That said, I think it's pretty usable anyways. If something is broken it - * would be really easy to fix it because is just a simple wrapper around - * libevent.
