Previously, whenever writing was disabled on a bufferevent_filter (or a filtering SSL bufferevent), we would stop writing on the underlying bufferevent. This would make for trouble, though, since if you implemented common patterns like "stop writing once data X has been flushed", your bufferevent filter would disable the underlying bufferevent after the data was flushed to the underlying bufferevent, but before actually having it written to the network. Now, we have filters leave their underlying bufferevents enabled for reading and writing for reading and writing immediately. They are not disabled, unless the user wants to disable them, which is now allowed. To handle the case where we want to choke reading on the underlying bufferevent because the filter no longer wants to read, we use bufferevent_suspend_read(). This is analogous to the way that we use bufferevent_suspend_write() to suspend writing on a filtering bufferevent when the underlying bufferevent's output buffer has hit its high watermark.
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.
