[Libevent-users] libevent with EV_WRITE question

[Sherif Fanous]

Hi

I have the following scenario, and want to verify the expected outcome

pthread_wrlock_rdlock(&(server->lock));
if (server->is_connected) {
    struct send_packets_args *send_packets_args;

    send_packets_args = malloc(sizeof (struct send_packets_args));
    // Initialize send_packets_args to contain buffer to send, and length of
buffer to send
    event_base_once(base, server->socket, EV_WRITE, send_packets, (void *)
send_packets_args, NULL);
    pthread_wrlock_unlock(&(server->lock));
    event_base_loop(base, EVLOOP_NONBLOCK);
} else
    pthread_wrlock_unlock(&(server->lock));

In my callback after I'm done with the sending I perform the cleaning up
(free the send_packets_args)


Now my question, if at the moment I release my read lock above, the
connection to the server is lost and server->socket is closed. Will the
callback send_packets get called? I want to know the expected outcome
because I need to make sure I'm not leaking memory allocated for the
send_packets_args that gets freed as the final step of the send_packets
callback.

Thanks

Regards

Sherif.
