[Libevent-users] Destroying event from callback function

[Michał Król]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is any way I can access event object within
callback function in libevent2? I know I can put it in global variable, but
I'll have a lot of events and I want to access particular one, so I want to
avoid it.

I cannot pass it as an argument because I'll have pointer to event structure
after setting callback in evet_new.

To be precise I want to do something like this:


int main(){
     event = event_new(base, socket, flags, cb_func, args);

     event_add(event);
}

void cb_func(args){

     //do some work

     event_del(event);  <-- the problem is with getting event structure
which invoked this callback }


Thanks in advance

Michal
