Compilation error on Mac OS: TimerFD

[4x10m]

Hi there,

Just to tell you that i stop to try to make pistache working on Mac OS.
After a lot of problems, i have the following error that i can't solve:

Pistache don't work on Mac OS see #1 And from some time there is no update to this repo, even from PR. If u resolved evnet pool problem u can fork and link to your repo this will make easier to help.

OK sorry for duplicating.

I don't know if I solved evnet pool problem. How do i know that ? Do you mean that you believe I have solve this problem ?

By the way, i will fork.

EDIT: I think I didn't solved anything haha.
The only change I have is :

cpu_set_t toPosix() const;
//cpu_set_t toPosix() const;

If you don't know that, look for other lib @oktal (author) is inactive :( for a long time.

Hello,

As discussed in #1 Pistache does not yet compile on Mac OS. This is due to the fact that it's internally using constructs such as epoll or timerfd that are linux-specific to power its event-loop.

To support Mac OS, we need an abstraction other the Reactor and Poller mechanism that supports other constructs like kqueue on Mac OS. Since more and more users are requesting it, I'll prioritize it first.

@oktal Is support for Mac OS scheduled for the next release?

[dennisjenkins75]

oktal has taken a leave of absence. I'm handling general project maintenance for the time being.

There is no official MacOS support planned. Pistcahe uses the Linux eventfs. IDK if that is available on Mac. I don't have a Mac to test on. If someone wants to submit a PR that properly abstracts the code such that it will work on Linux and Mac, that would be awesome. I will do my best to get a friend with a Mac to double check the PR and then I'll merge it.
