[Strmod-devel] Big merge, and signal handling!

[Eric M. H. <ho...@om...>]

I just merged a bunch of new code in the UniEvent system into the main
branch.  This code moves UniEvent itself into the strmod::unievent
namespace, and renames some of the classes previously prefixed with UNI
as this is no longer needed with namespaces.  This is part of a bigger
move to move the entire library to use namespaces.

I also added UNIXSignalHandler.  This can be used to turn signals into
events handled by a subclass of Dispatcher. Dispatcher itself has the
'interrupt' and 'onInterrupt' methods added to its interface to support
this usage.

The main difficulty is that because of how I wrote the Dispatcher, it
will only recognize 'interrupts' if it has events on its queue that can
be interrupted.  Since the Dispatcher is usually also used with a
UNIXpollManager that sets an 'onQueueEmpty' event that does a 'poll',
this is not a problem in many programs.

I should be packaging this up into a new release sometime soon.  I don't
know yet if I consider the problem mentioned in the above paragraph
severe enough to prevent release.

To those who've recently unsubscribed and are getting this...  This is
the last message I'll send out.  I just didn't want you to have
unsubscribed over the seeming complete lack of activity.  :-)

Have fun (if at all possible),
