What version are you using? This issue was fixed in November of 2007, and should be resolved in every version of Libevent 1.4.x. > If this is the case, is there a way to easily close all timers? Upgrade. In 1.4.x and later, calling event_base_free() will call event_del() on every pending event. > Otherwise, what do people usually do to shut down a libevent > application cleanly? Must I track all timers and close manually? If you can't upgrade to 1.4.x, your easiest choice is not to call event_base_free() at all on shutdown. (Yes, it's ugly, but it won't actually hurt anything.) The only other approach, if for some reason you can't require a version newer than 1.3e, is indeed to call event_del() on every pending event yourself. yrs, -- Nick *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@freehaven.net with unsubscribe libevent-users in the body.
