Not sure. It's been that way at least since before I started working on Libevent. > I feel that this code should be inside event_base_new(). I'm not too sure about that. There's no requirement that event_base_new() be called before any socket operations be called, and I wouldn't want to add such a requirement. So a preventive call to WSAStartup in event_base_new() might help some people who were new to Windows socket programming (if they called event_base_new() before they made any socket calls), but it wouldn't help others. People more experienced than I am about Windows can probably weigh in on what the right thing is here. Either way, it would have to be for 2.1; we're trying very hard not to change the 2.0 core API while we get it stable. peace, -- Nick -- Nick *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@freehaven.net with unsubscribe libevent-users in the body.
