FWIW, when I ported Chromium's networking to libevent, I used EVLOOP_ONCE, so event_base_loop() never lingers; see http://src.chromium.org/svn/trunk/src/base/message_pump_libevent.cc But I don't use libevent's timeouts at all. (OT: I'm terribly tempted to switch to using edge-triggered mode (in libevent trunk); that way my app would never have to do event_set, event_add, or event_del ever again... I'm a big boy, I can manage my own state, and it would reduce the number of syscalls. But I probably won't bother, since the extra syscalls aren't bothering me right now, and I seem to have gotten those pesky event masks right.) - Dan _______________________________________________ Libevent-users mailing list Libevent-users@monkey.org http://monkeymail.org/mailman/listinfo/libevent-users
