Remove compat/sys/_time.h
I've gone through everything that it declared to see where it was used,
and it seems that we probably don't need it anywhere.
Here's what it declared, and why I think we're okay dropping it.
o struct timeval {}
(Used all over, and we can't really get away with declaring it ourselves;
we need the same definition the system uses. If we can't find struct
timeval, we're pretty much sunk.)
o struct timespec {}
(Used in event.c, evdns.c, kqueue.c, evport.c. Of these,
kqueue.c and event.c include sys/_time.h. event.c conditions its use on
_EVENT_HAVE_CLOCK_GETTIME, and kqueue() only works if timespec is defined.)
o TIMEVAL_TO_TIMESPEC
(Used in kqueue.c, but every place with kqueue has sys/time.h)
o struct timezone {}
(event2/util.h has a forward declaration; only evutil.c references it and
doesn't look at its contents.)
o timerclear, timerisset, timercmp, timeradd, timersub
(Everything now uses the evutil_timer* variants.)
o ITIMER_REAL, ITIMER_VIRTUAL, ITIMER_PROF, struct itemerval
(These are only used in test/regress.c, which does not include _time.h)
o CLOCK_REALTIME
(Only used in evdns.c, which does not include _time.h)
o TIMESPEC_TO_TIMEVAL
o DST_*
o timespecclear, timespecisset, timespeccmp, timespecadd, timespecsub
o struct clockinfo {}
o CLOCK_VIRTUAL, CLOCK_PROF
o TIMER_RELTIME, TIMER_ABSTIME
(unused)
svn:r1494
To build libevent, type
$ ./configure && make
(If you got libevent from the subversion 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
$ 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 [...]
