+/* 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 3 main components:
+ - a list of file descriptors to be monitored, GDB_NOTIFIER.
+ - a list of events that have occurred, EVENT_QUEUE.
+ - a list of signal handling functions, SIGHANDLER_LIST.
+
+ GDB_NOTIFIER keeps track of the event sources. 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 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 the wait_for_inferior function and in
+ various target specific files (*-tdep.c).
+
+ 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. */

+/* Stack for prompts. Each prompt is composed as a prefix, a prompt
+ and a suffix. The prompt to be displayed at any given time is the
+ one on top of the stack. A stack is necessary because of cases in
+ which the execution of a gdb command requires further input from
+ the user, like for instance 'commands' for breakpoints and
+ 'actions' for tracepoints. In these cases, the prompt is '>' and
+ gdb should process input using the asynchronous readline interface
+ and the event loop. In order to achieve this, we need to save
+ somewhere the state of GDB, i.e. that it is processing user input
+ as part of a command and not as part of the top level command loop.
+ The prompt stack represents part of the saved state. Another part
+ would be the function that readline would invoke after a whole line
+ of input has ben entered. This second piece would be something
+ like, for instance, where to return within the code for the actions
+ commands after a line has been read. This latter portion has not
+ beeen implemented yet. The need for a 3-part prompt arises from
+ the annotation level. When this is set to 2, the prompt is actually
+ composed of a prefix, the prompt itself and a suffix. */
+
+/* At any particular time there will be always at least one prompt on
+ the stack, the one being currently displayed by gdb. If gdb is
+ using annotation level equal 2, there will be 2 prompts on the
+ stack: the usual one, w/o prefix and suffix (at top - 1), and the
+ 'composite' one with prefix and suffix added (at top). At this
+ time, this is the only use of the prompt stack. Resetting annotate
+ to 0 or 1, pops the top of the stack, resetting its size to one
+ element. The MAXPROMPTS limit is safe, for now. Once other cases
+ are dealt with (like the different prompts used for 'commands' or
+ 'actions') this array implementation of the prompt stack may have
+ to change. */
