/* 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.  */
