Hello,
I am trying to understand some legacy code, which is mostly single
thread libevent based, there are some cases where pthreads are spawned
and die out instantly. The scenario is
pthread_create
--> thread_callback
--> In thread callback, create fd; event_new( ..cbk, &fd) -> uses
evbase of main
<thread ends>
cbk() gets called and fd is used.
But is this correct ? or just works because of undefined behavior ?
The thread need not be present when the event callback is invoked ?
(since the fd was created in thread context)
P.S. libevent is initialised with evthread_use_pthreads() and linked
with libevent_pthreads
