30 /** @file event2/event_compat.h
32 Potentially non-threadsafe versions of the functions in event.h: provided
33 only for backwards compatibility.
35 In the oldest versions of Libevent, event_base was not a first-class
36 structure. Instead, there was a single event base that every function
37 manipulated. Later, when separate event bases were added, the old functions
38 that didn't take an event_base argument needed to work by manipulating the
39 "current" event base. This could lead to thread-safety issues, and obscure,
40 hard-to-diagnose bugs.
42 @deprecated All functions in this file are by definition deprecated.

62 Initialize the event API.
64 The event API needs to be initialized with event_init() before it can be
65 used. Sets the global current base that gets used for events that have no
66 base associated with them.
68 @deprecated This function is deprecated because it replaces the "current"
69 event_base, and is totally unsafe for multithreaded use. The replacement

78 Loop to process events.
80 Like event_base_dispatch(), but uses the "current" base.
82 @deprecated This function is deprecated because it is easily confused by
83 multiple calls to event_init(), and because it is not safe for
84 multithreaded use. The replacement is event_base_dispatch().
86 @see event_base_dispatch(), event_init()
89 int event_dispatch(void);
94 This function behaves like event_base_loop(), but uses the "current" base
96 @deprecated This function is deprecated because it uses the event base from
97 the last call to event_init, and is therefore not safe for multithreaded
98 use. The replacement is event_base_loop().
100 @see event_base_loop(), event_init()
107 Exit the event loop after the specified time.

113 the last call to event_init, and is therefore not safe for multithreaded
114 use. The replacement is event_base_loopexit().

135 int event_loopbreak(void);
138 Schedule a one-time event to occur.
140 @deprecated This function is obsolete, and has been replaced by
141 event_base_once(). Its use is deprecated because it relies on the
142 "current" base configured by event_init().
144 @see event_base_once()
147 int event_once(evutil_socket_t , short,
148 void (*)(evutil_socket_t, short, void *), void *, const struct timeval *);
152 Get the kernel event notification mechanism used by Libevent.
154 @deprecated This function is obsolete, and has been replaced by
155 event_base_get_method(). Its use is deprecated because it relies on the
156 "current" base configured by event_init().
158 @see event_base_get_method()
161 const char *event_get_method(void);
165 Set the number of different event priorities.
167 @deprecated This function is deprecated because it is easily confused by

169 multithreaded use. The replacement is event_base_priority_init().
171 @see event_base_priority_init()
174 int event_priority_init(int);
177 Prepare an event structure to be added.
179 @deprecated event_set() is not recommended for new code, because it requires
180 a subsequent call to event_base_set() to be safe under most circumstances.
181 Use event_assign() or event_new() instead.
