1 Libevent for NaCl
2 =================
3 This is a port of libevent (an event notification library) to NaCl platform.
4 For details visit : http://libevent.org .
5
6 **The library is "functional" albeit with some issues, this documents lists and
7 keep track of all those.**
8
9 1. **Callbacks due to signals are NOT supported.**
10
11 **Reason:** nacl_io do not support POSIX signals.
12
13 **Details:** sigaction(...) and signal(...) are not(yet) implemented on
14 NaCl.io,thus the calls evsignal_add,evsignal_del,evsignal_pending should
15 be avoided,also event_add/event_del when passed with EV_SIGNAL will
16 also fail.
17
18 For details about these functions visit :
19 http://www.wangafu.net/~nickm/libevent-book/Ref4_event.html
20
21 See /samples/hello-world.c for more details.
22 To check if everything is working fine, run hello-world.nexe in nacl-devenv
23 extension and point your browser to localhost:9995 and you should see "hello
24 world".
25
26 To debug/see implementation
27 Look for /event.c, /signal.c and /evmap.c
28 In /signal.c see function _evsig_set_handler and _evsig_restore_handler
29
30 Typical function call
31 event_add > event_add_internal > (if signal) evmap_signal_add > evsig_add
32
33 2. **Post build tests are skipped.**
34
35 **Reason:** setitimer and getitimer not available in newlib.
36
37 3. **Build against glibc is not functional, ie either static linking fails or
38 sometimes ELF header error pops up.**
39
40 **Reason:** unknown (issue de-prioritized,toolchain disabled in pkg_info)
41
42 **Notes**
43
44 - Code in /samples/ (except hello-world.c) is not yet tested (or not yet
45 modified to work on nacl platform)
46 - Libevent uses socketpair(...) extensively, however the same is not
47 implemented on nacl, thus custom implementation is used, to see details
48 look for evutil_ersatz_socketpair(...) in /evutil.c
