[Libevent-users] Chicken and Egg when disconnecting users from a threaded base

Having a bit of trouble handling disconnects with libevent Right now, we disable the event from a worker and call bufferevent_free from there. However, as seen in the included back trace, there is a race between the event base trying to acquire another reference. In general, how should this prob

[Libevent-users] Buffer event race condition

I'm at wit's end with a libevent threading bug. As part of a disconnect client routine, I manually call the errorcb with EVENT_ERROR_EOF. The idea was to keep all the cleanup code in one callback but I'm beginning to think this was ill-conceived. Somehow, libevent is entering a condition wait an

[Libevent-users] Threaded event bases

One of the ideas I saw floating around for libevent 2.1 was threaded event bases to ease thread pool programming. This seems like a pretty challenging project and probably beyond my abilities at the moment but if we can hash some specs out I'd be interested in helping see it through to completion.

[Libevent-users] Using evbuffer_peek

Hi, I've seen a few mails talking about evbuffer_peek, but no solid usage of it. The doxygen on the libevent page doesn't cover it generating my own from 2.0.8 has shed little light on its use to me. Basically, for my test case I have two bytes in network order that make up a short. These are o

[Libevent-users] Autoconf macros

Hello, Is there a recommended means of testing for libevent2 from within autoconf? I'm wondering if anybody else has written an m4 macro that can check for an adequate system copy, look in an argument passed to configure, or build a bundled version (since many distros are on 1.x). Regards,
