The different bufferevent implementations had different behavior for their timeouts. Some of them kept re-triggering the timeouts indefinitely; some disabled the event immediately the first time a timeout triggered. Some of them made the timeouts only count when the bufferevent was actively trying to read or write; some did not. The new behavior is modeled after old socket bufferevents, since they were here first and their behavior is relatively sane. Basically, each timeout disables the bufferevent's corresponding read or write operation when it fires. Timeouts are stopped whenever we suspend writing or reading, and reset whenever we unsuspend writing or reading. Calling bufferevent_enable resets a timeout, as does changing the timeout value.
0. BUILDING AND INSTALLATION (Briefly)
$ ./configure
$ make
$ make verify # (optional)
$ sudo make install
1. BUILDING AND INSTALLATION (In Depth)
To build libevent, type
$ ./configure && make
(If you got libevent from the git repository, you will
first need to run the included "autogen.sh" script in order to
generate the configure script.)
Install as root via
# make install
You can run the regression tests by running
$ make verify
Before, reporting any problems, please run the regression tests.
To enable the low-level tracing build the library as:
CFLAGS=-DUSE_DEBUG ./configure [...]
Standard configure flags should work. In particular, see:
--disable-shared Only build static libraries
--prefix Install all files relative to this directory.
The configure script also supports the following flags:
--enable-gcc-warnings Enable extra compiler checking with GCC.
--disable-malloc-replacement
Don't let applications replace our memory
management functions
--disable-openssl Disable support for OpenSSL encryption.
--disable-thread-support Don't support multithreaded environments.
