30/** @file event2/event_compat.h
31
32  Potentially non-threadsafe versions of the functions in event.h: provided
33  only for backwards compatibility.
34
35  In the oldest versions of Libevent, event_base was not a first-class
36  structure.  Instead, there was a single event base that every function
37  manipulated.  Later, when separate event bases were added, the old functions
38  that didn't take an event_base argument needed to work by manipulating the
39  "current" event base.  This could lead to thread-safety issues, and obscure,
40  hard-to-diagnose bugs.
41
42  @deprecated All functions in this file are by definition deprecated.
