1 This is a port of libevent (an event notification library) to nacl platfrom.
2 For details visit : http://libevent.org
3
4 The library is "functional" albeit with some issues, this documents lists and
5 keep tracks all those.

7 Issue #1
8 Callbacks due to signals are NOT supported.
9 Reason: nacl.io do not support POSIX signals.
10 Details : sigaction(...) and signal(...) are not(yet) implemented on nacl.io,
11 thus the calls evsignal_add,evsignal_del,evsignal_pending should be avoided,
12 also event_add/event_del when passed with EV_SIGNAL will also fail.
13
14 For details about these functions visit :
15 http://www.wangafu.net/~nickm/libevent-book/Ref4_event.html
16
17 See /samples/hello-world.c for more details.
18 To check if everything is working fine, run hello-world.nexe in nacl-devenv
19 extension and point your browser to localhost:9995 and you should see "hello
20 world".
21
22 To debug/see implementation
23 Look for /event.c, /signal.c and /evmap.c
24 In /signal.c see function _evsig_set_handler and _evsig_restore_handler
25
26 Typical function call
27 event_add > event_add_internal > (if signal) evmap_signal_add > evsig_add
28
29 Issue #2
30 Post build tests are skipped.
31 Reason : setitimer and getitimer not available in newlib.
32
33 Issue #3
34 Build against glibc is not functional, ie either static linking fails or
35 sometimes ELF header error pops up
36 Reason : unknown (issue deprioritized)
37
38 Note
39 1.Code in /samples/ (except hello-world.c) is not yet tested (or not yet
40 modified to work on nacl platform)
41 2.Libevnt uses socketpair(...) extensively, however the same is not
42 implemented on nacl, thus custom implementation is used, to see details
43 look for evutil_ersatz_socketpair(...) in /evutil.c
