/* An event loop listens for events from multiple event sources. When

   an event arrives, it is queued and processed by calling the

   appropriate event handler. The event loop then continues to listen

   for more events. An event loop completes when there are no event

   sources to listen on.  External event sources can be plugged into

   the loop.

   There are 4 main components:

   - a list of file descriptors to be monitored, GDB_NOTIFIER.

   - a list of asynchronous event sources to be monitored,

     ASYNC_EVENT_HANDLER_LIST.

   - a list of events that have occurred, EVENT_QUEUE.

   - a list of signal handling functions, SIGHANDLER_LIST.

   GDB_NOTIFIER keeps track of the file descriptor based event

   sources.  ASYNC_EVENT_HANDLER_LIST keeps track of asynchronous

   event sources that are signalled by some component of gdb, usually

   a target_ops instance.  Event sources for gdb are currently the UI

   and the target.  Gdb communicates with the command line user

   interface via the readline library and usually communicates with

   remote targets via a serial port.  Serial ports are represented in

   GDB as file descriptors and select/poll calls.  For native targets

   instead, the communication varies across operating system debug

   APIs, but usually consists of calls to ptrace and waits (via

   signals) or calls to poll/select (via file descriptors).  In the

   current gdb, the code handling events related to the target resides

   in wait_for_inferior for synchronous targets; or, for asynchronous

   capable targets, by having the target register either a target

   controlled file descriptor and/or an asynchronous event source in

   the event loop, with the fetch_inferior_event function as the event

   callback.  In both the synchronous and asynchronous cases, usually

   the target event is collected through the target_wait interface.

   The target is free to install other event sources in the event loop

   if it so requires.

   EVENT_QUEUE keeps track of the events that have happened during the

   last iteration of the event loop, and need to be processed.  An

   event is represented by a procedure to be invoked in order to

   process the event.  The queue is scanned head to tail.  If the

   event of interest is a change of state in a file descriptor, then a

   call to poll or select will be made to detect it.

   If the events generate signals, they are also queued by special

   functions that are invoked through traditional signal handlers.

   The actions to be taken is response to such events will be executed

   when the SIGHANDLER_LIST is scanned, the next time through the

   infinite loop.

   Corollary tasks are the creation and deletion of event sources. */
