Whoops, I haven't pasted the right version of the test script.

Here it is:


<?php

$base = new EventBase();

$file = tmpfile();

$event = new Event($base, $file, Event::WRITE, function()
                   {
                     echo "test";
                   });
$event->add();
$base->loop();

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

Sorry for the delay. I hadn't received E-mail notifications :-/

Probably, the output should be less cryptic. However, the reason of the error
messages is that "epoll" itself doesn't support regular files. Epoll expects
whether sockets, or pipes.

The code snippet you provided should work on OSX just fine, because Libevent
chooses different polling method there.

If you really want to watch events on a regular file, use EventConfig class
to avoid "epoll" method. Your code could look like the following:

<?php
$cfg = new EventConfig();
$cfg->avoidMethod("epoll");

$base = new EventBase($cfg);
$file = tmpfile();
$event = new Event($base, $file, Event::READ | Event::PERSIST, function() {
    echo "test";
});
$event->add();
$base->loop();

Thanks.
