Hello all,
if with "async io" is meant "doing native async disc / file io", then
there already is code that integrates with libevent-2.0.
Recently, Valery Kholodkov and myself did some work in this direction.
The latest version you can find in Valery's git tree right here:
http://github.com/vkholodkov/libevent/tree/valery-master
.
What I can say is, that the linux native AIO was stable with several
long-running tests (> 300mb/s for longer than 1 day) even in
multi-threaded environments.
I am not up to date with the latest libevent developments @ trunk, so
please just ignore this email if it might prove redundant!
