Hi Nick and friends,
just a question and an idea:
1. locking
assuming event_base supports and has a lock, is there an API to expose
that particular lock towards the application? In some situations, it
would help to avoid complex designs by sharing the lock.
API could be like "int event_base_lock(event_base *)", "int
event_base_trylock(event_base *)", "int event_base_unlock(event_base *)".
2. termination callback
What do you think about
* adding a flag EV_TERM to the EV_XX flags
* trigger a callback into active "event listeners", having the
what-flag set to EV_TERM once the event base gets either destroyed
or halted via event_base_loopbreak
This would be extremly helpful to clean up pending things in
applications, providing some sort of broadcast notification for all
event receivers.
Thanks and cheers,
Roman
