To update, you only have to copy a few files - into your source tree. - - This is how it works: - -FILESETS - - To include only the libev core (all the ev_* functions): - - #define EV_STANDALONE 1 - #include "ev.c" - - This will automatically include ev.h, too, and should be done in a - single C source file only to provide the function implementations. To - use it, do the same for ev.h in all users: - - #define EV_STANDALONE 1 - #include "ev.h" - - You need the following files in your source tree, or in a directory - in your include path (e.g. in libev/ when using -Ilibev): - - ev.h - ev.c - ev_vars.h - ev_wrap.h - ev_select.c only when select backend is enabled (which is by default) - ev_poll.c only when poll backend is enabled (disabled by default) - ev_epoll.c only when the epoll backend is enabled (disabled by default) - ev_kqueue.c only when the kqueue backend is enabled (disabled by default) - - "ev.c" includes the backend files directly when enabled. - - To include the libevent compatibility API, also include: - - #include "event.c" - - in the file including "ev.c", and: - - #include "event.h" - - in the files that want to use the libevent API. This also includes "ev.h". - - You need the following additional files for this: - - event.h - event.c - -PREPROCESSOR SYMBOLS - - Libev can be configured via a variety of preprocessor symbols you have to define - before including any of its files. The default is not to build for mulciplicity - and only include the select backend. - - EV_STANDALONE - - Must always be "1", which keeps libev from including config.h or - other files, and it also defines dummy implementations for some - libevent functions (such as logging, which is not supported). It - will also not define any of the structs usually found in "event.h" - that are not directly supported by libev code alone. - - EV_USE_MONOTONIC - - If undefined or defined to be "1", libev will try to detect the - availability of the monotonic clock option at both compiletime and - runtime. Otherwise no use of the monotonic clock option will be - attempted. - - EV_USE_REALTIME - - If defined to be "1", libev will try to detect the availability - of the realtime clock option at compiletime (and assume its - availability at runtime if successful). Otherwise no use of the - realtime clock option will be attempted. This effectively replaces - gettimeofday by clock_get (CLOCK_REALTIME, ...) and will not normally - affect correctness. - - EV_USE_SELECT - - If undefined or defined to be "1", libev will compile in support - for the select(2) backend. No attempt at autodetection will be - done: if no other method takes over, select will be it. Otherwise - the select backend will not be compiled in. - - EV_USE_POLL - - If defined to be "1", libev will compile in support for the poll(2) - backend. No attempt at autodetection will be done. poll usually - performs worse than select, so its not enabled by default (it is - also slightly less portable). - - EV_USE_EPOLL - - If defined to be "1", libev will compile in support for the Linux - epoll backend. Its availability will be detected at runtime, - otherwise another method will be used as fallback. This is the - preferred backend for GNU/Linux systems. - - EV_USE_KQUEUE - - If defined to be "1", libev will compile in support for the BSD - style kqueue backend. Its availability will be detected at runtime, - otherwise another method will be used as fallback. This is the - preferred backend for BSD and BSd-like systems. Darwin brokenness - will be detected at runtime and routed around by disabling this - backend. - - EV_COMMON - - By default, all watchers have a "void *data" member. By redefining - this macro to a something else you can include more and other types - of members. You have to define it each time you include one of the - files, though, and it must be identical each time. - - For example, the perl EV module uses this: - - #define EV_COMMON \ - SV *self; /* contains this struct */ \ - SV *cb_sv, *fh; - - EV_PROTOTYPES - - If defined to be "0", then "ev.h" will not define any function - prototypes, but still define all the structs and other - symbols. This is occasionally useful. - - EV_MULTIPLICITY - - If undefined or defined to "1", then all event-loop-specific - functions will have the "struct ev_loop *" as first argument, and - you can create additional independent event loops. Otherwise there - will be no support for multiple event loops and there is no first - event loop pointer argument. Instead, all functions act on the - single default loop. - -EXAMPLES - - For a real-world example of a program the includes libev - verbatim, you can have a look at the EV perl module - (http://software.schmorp.de/pkg/EV.html). It has the libev files in - the liev/ subdirectory and includes them in the EV/EVAPI.h (public - interface) and EV.xs (implementation) files. Only EV.xs file will be - compiled. +This file is now included in the main libev documentation, see + http://cvs.schmorp.de/libev/ev.html
