Poettering: Introducing sd-event Lennart Poettering introduces the sd-event API for the implementation of event loops. "sd-event.h, of course, is not the first event loop API around, and it doesn't implement any really novel concepts. When we started working on it we tried to do our homework, and checked the various existing event loop APIs, maybe looking for candidates to adopt instead of doing our own, and to learn about the strengths and weaknesses of the various implementations existing. Ultimately, we found no implementation that could deliver what we needed, or where it would be easy to add the missing bits: as usual in the systemd project, we wanted something that allows us access to all the Linux-specific bits, instead of limiting itself to the least common denominator of UNIX." |
