Nope, not at present. If you want to do a multithreaded design like that with any current version of Libevent, either you need multiple event_bases (one per thread), and some means to load-balance connections between them, or you need some kind of thread pool + work queue system to handle the work of distributing your callbacks across different processors. yrs, -- Nick *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@freehaven.net with unsubscribe libevent-users in the body.
