[Libevent-users] Timerout procedure can't enter twice

[Michael]

Hi ,

I'm using libevent to create timer procedure.

The attached program will call the timeout function at the first time.

But it won't call the timeout function after I rewrite the timer.

Attached please find the test code.

Is there anything I'm missing ?

Thanks!

Michael
