/** @file event2/event_compat.h

  Potentially non-threadsafe versions of the functions in event.h: provided
  only for backwards compatibility.

  In the oldest versions of Libevent, event_base was not a first-class
  structure.  Instead, there was a single event base that every function
  manipulated.  Later, when separate event bases were added, the old functions
  that didn't take an event_base argument needed to work by manipulating the
  "current" event base.  This could lead to thread-safety issues, and obscure,
  hard-to-diagnose bugs.

  @deprecated All functions in this file are by definition deprecated.
