[Libevent-users] rtsig doesn't compile - remove?

[Scott Lamb]

While composing a patch (more on that later), I noticed that rtsig.c
doesn't even compile. In particular,

* it uses signalqueue, which was removed in revision 351
* it has an unnamed function argument, which isn't legal C! (only C++)
* it uses <linux/unistd.h>, which of course is Linux-only
* it uses _syscall0, which hasn't existed for quite some time

Niels, how would you feel about removing rtsig entirely? It's the most
complex mechanism (985 lines...others range from epoll @ 364 lines to
kqueue at 413 lines) and totally obsolete/unmaintained. Modern Linux
people are all using epoll_wait(), and older ones must be content with
select()/poll() or they would have complained about rtsig's status.

Best regards,
Scott
