Daniel Elstner 92248e7821 session: Allow multiple poll FDs per event source
Turns out that having one event source per libusb poll FD is
a bad idea. There is only a single callback for all poll FDs,
and libusb expects to be called only once per poll iteration,
no matter how many FDs triggered.

Also, they should all share the same timeout, which should get
reset on events from any polled FD. The new timeout handling made
this problem apparent, as it caused the callback to be invoked
multiple times on timeouts, once for each separate event source.

In order to fix this, change the implementation to allow for an
arbitrary number of poll FDs per event source. This number is
zero for timer FDs, one for normal I/O sources, and one or more
for libusb sources (Unix only).

Also, on Windows, do not get an additional timeout from libusb
in the event loop. This is only appropriate when polling the
libusb FDs directly, which we aren't doing on Windows.

README

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
README
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The sigrok project aims at creating a portable, cross-platform,
Free/Libre/Open-Source signal analysis software suite that supports various
device types (such as logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, multimeters, and more).

libsigrok is a shared library written in C which provides the basic API
for talking to hardware and reading/writing the acquired data into various
input/output file formats.


Status
------

libsigrok is in a usable state and has had official tarball releases.

While the API can change from release to release, this will always be
properly documented and reflected in the package version number and
in the shared library / libtool / .so-file version numbers.

However, there are _NO_ guarantees at all for stable APIs in git snapshots!
Distro packagers should only use released tarballs (no git snapshots).


Requirements
------------

Requirements for the C library:

 - git (only needed when building from git)
 - gcc (>= 4.0) or clang
 - make
 - autoconf >= 2.63 (only needed when building from git)
 - automake >= 1.11 (only needed when building from git)
