To clarify, it should set itself up to be notifiable if you have threading initialized before you create it. (If you're going to access an event_base from multiple threads, you MUST initialize threading, or else there won't be any locks, and you'll be in a world of race conditions.) Then again, calling evthread_make_base_notifiable() on an existing event_base shouldn't hurt, since it's (supposed to be) idempotent. -- Nick *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@freehaven.net with unsubscribe libevent-users in the body.
