I have a simple piece of code which used to work with libevent 1.4 and now fails with 2.x
The basic operation - Open a Unix socket - Bind to a socket in the file system - Add an event with EV_READ and EV_PERSIST - Wait for events - When an event arrives, call recvfrom on the socket waiting for a fixed size of ~1800 bytes (just to avoid confusion with previous problems I had, no "dup" calls are involved) My initial problem was that the recvfrom call was hanging. I tried different solutions, with different outcomes - Trying to set my socket as non blocking leads to endless triggering of the event, where an attempt to read from the socket doesn't show a single byte - Trying with libevent 2.0.8 (rather than 2.0.7) didn't change anything - Trying with 2.0.8, along with the non blocking socket also leads to events with nothing on the socket, though these are much less frequent. - Trying the (un-changed) code with select rather than epoll does seem to work How can I resolve this, without backing away from epoll ?
