I don't expect that many users will be so religious about calling
unassign, but we need to be so that it's at least possible to use
debug mode without eating memory.
Most of these should be unable to fail, since adding a timeout
generally always works. Still, it's better not to try to be "too
smart for our own good here."
There are some remaining event_add() calls that I didn't add checks
for; I've marked those with "XXXX" comments.
In many places throughout the code, we called _bufferevent_run_eventcb
without checking whether the eventcb was actually set. This would
work fine when the bufferevent's callbacks were deferred, but
otherwise the code would segfault. Strangely, we always remembered to
check before calling the _bufferevent_run_{read,write}cb functions.
To prevent similar errors in the future, all of
_buferevent_run_{read,write,event}cb now check to make sure the
callback is actually set before invoking or deferring the callback.
This patch also removes the now-redundant checks for {read,write}cb.
The fairness algorithms are not the best, not every bufferevent type
is supported, and some of the locking tricks here are simply absurd.
Still, this code should be a good first step.
There are lots of things we do internally in bufferevents to indicate
"the user would like this operation to happen, but we aren't going to
try until some other condition goes away." Our logic here has gotten
entirely too complicated.
This patch tries to fix that by adding the idea of 'suspend flags' for
read and write. To say "don't bother reading or writing until
condition X no longer holds," bufferevent_suspend_read/write(bev,
BEV_SUSPEND_X). When X no longer holds, call
bufferevent_unsuspend_read/write(bev, BEV_SUSPEND_X).
Right now, only the read-watermark logic uses this.
Previously, there was no good way to request different kinds of lock
(say, read/write vs writeonly or recursive vs nonrecursive), or for a
lock function to signal failure (which would be important for a
trylock mode).
This patch revises the lock API to be a bit more useful. The older
lock calls are still supported for now.
We also add a debugging mode to catch common errors in using the
locking APIs.
This patch from Chris Davis saves some callback depth, and adds proper
ref-counting to bufferevents when there's a deferred evbuffer callback
inflight. It could use a couple more comments to really nail down what
its invariants are.

This code adds a new Bufferevent type that is only compiled when the
openssl library is present. It supports using an SSL object and an
event alert mechanism, which can either be an fd or an underlying
bufferevent.
There is still more work to do: the unit tests are incomplete, and we
need to support flush and shutdown much better. Sometimes events are
generated needlessly: this will hose performance.
There's a new encrypting proxy in sample/le-proxy.c.
This code has only been tested on OSX, and nowhere else.

Rationale: we hold a lock on the bufferevent when its callbacks are
executing, so we need to release the lock afterwards. But the
callback might free the bufferevent, so unless we're holding a
reference on the bufferevent, the lock might not be there for us to
release.

This fixes part of bug 2800642, I believe, though there is still a
general race condition in multithreaded use of events that we need to
think about.

Paired and asynchronous bufferevents didn't do timeouts, and filtering
bufferevents gave them funny semantics. Now they all should all work
in a way consistent with what socket bufferevents do now: a [read/write]
timeout triggers if [reading/writing] is enabled, and if the timeout is
set, and the right amount of time passes without any data getting
[added to the input buffer/drained from the output buffer].

Previously, set_flags() would replace all previous user-visible flags.
Now it just sets the flags, and there is a clear_flags() function to
clear other flags.

OpenSSL uses something like this to implement get/set access for
properties on its BIOs, so that it doesn't need to add a pair of
get/set functions to the vtable struct for every new abstract property
it provides an accessor for.
Doing this lets us make bufferevent_setfd abstract, and implement an
abstract bufferevent_getfd.

This is a bit of an interface doozy, but it's really needed in order
to be able to document this stuff without apologizing it. This patch
does the following renamings:
evbuffercb -> bufferevent_data_cb
everrorcb -> bufferevent_event_cb
EVBUFFER_(READ,WRITE,...) -> BEV_EVENT_(...)
EVBUFFER_(INPUT,OUTPUT) -> bufferevent_get_(input,output)
All the old names are available in event2/bufferevent_compat.h

This way we don't expose more of a bufferevent than we need to. One
motivation is to make it easier to automatically get deferred callbacks
with a bufferevent without exposing the deferred_cb structure.

a) this is 2009
b) niels and nick have been comaintainers for a while
c) saying "all rights reserved" when you then go on to explicitly
disclaim some rights is sheer cargo-cultism.

Previously, we used inconsistent and incompletely ported ifdefs.
(We don't use these macros in platform-specific files like evpoll.c, since
they don't need to work on win32.)
