Add locking to event_base_loop. This is harder than it sounds, since we need to make sure to release the lock around the key call to the kernel (e.g., select, epoll_wait, kevent), AND we need to make sure that none of the fields that are used in that call are touched by anything that might be running concurrently in another thread. I managed to do this pretty well for everything but poll(). With poll, I needed to introduce a copy of the event_set structure. This patch also fixes a bug in win32.c where we called realloc() instead of mm_realloc(). svn:r1450
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 [...]
