Libev is a high-performance event loop for C (with optional and separate interfaces for C++ and Perl), featuring support for I/O, timers (relative and absolute, cron-like ones), signals, process status changes, and other types of events. It has both a fast native API and libevent emulation to support programs written using the libevent API. The libev distribution consists of libevent with the core event handling parts replaced by the libev embedded event loop. Differences to libevent include higher speed, simpler design, more features, less memory usage, embedability, and no arbitrary limits. libev supports epoll, kqueue, Solaris event ports, poll, and select. License: BSD License (revised) Changes: This release adds some more workarounds for the buggy Windows select function and also improves error reporting on that platform. A more cache-friendly 4-heap and heap index caching is now implemented for timers and periodics, increasing their performance further. Some bugs that surface with extremely low timer intervals have been fixed. The documentation has been further extended. libev is now able to make a consistency check of all of its internal structures at any time, for added safety.
