Comment:
Notes on the design:
* Multi-statement macros should get wrapped in `STMT_BEGIN` and
`STMT_END`.
* Instead of exit(0), use tor_assert(0) for bugs.
* `INCREMENT_DELTA_AND_TEST` is IMO a problematic interface -- having
to get the `id` field correct is a very fragile.
* Having relative times and absolute times _both_ be possible return
types from event functions is also fragile IMO.
* I'm not sure I completely understand what `run_scheduled_events` is
doing any more -- it seems like we'd be better off finding a way to kill
it off entirely. I bet we can do so more easily with the refactoring that
has already happened in `run_scheduled_events()` in the master branch.
Notes on the patch set:
* Needs tests! :)
Notes on the code movement:
* our best strategy for merging this patch right now is probably to
copy the infrastructure patches, clean 'em up, test 'em, and then re-do
the code movement parts one at a time, since there has been a lot of code
drift in run_scheduled_events() since this patch was first written.
* with that in mind I'm not going to review the code movement piece of
this. :)
