That's just frightening. This appears to mean that the internal design of the library can (in effect) be altered by the end user at run time. Any clue why this is a reasonable thing to include in this delivery? Is there any advantage to allowing the end user of an application linked to libevent to "tweak" the underlying mechanism? I can understand perhaps it when compiled with -DDEBUG, but it seems strange and potentially hazardous otherwise. > In addition, libevent implements interfaces that provide additional > functionality for embedding an event driven http server and buffered An http server? -- James Carlson, Solaris Networking <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 35 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
