Right, it also means you are not protecting calls to the same loop with a
mutex, which would get rid of the crashes.

ev_set_loop_release_cb won't get rid of the crashes for you, the purpose
of that call is so that you can release your mutex for longer times, i.e.
if another thread wants to acquire the mutex while libev is waiting in the
kernel it normally can't, because ev_run/ev_loop calls need to be also
protected via that mutex, and without ev_set_loop_release_cb this mutex
will be held while libev is polling the kernel.

ev_set_loop_release_cb works fine in C++.
Note that, while ev++.h has some classes representing the main loop, only
the watcher classes are a) documented b) maintained and c) guaranteed to
some degree to stay. Everything else is undocumented, might be broken and
might go away or change incompatibly at any time.

You can go to irc.schmorp.de #schmorpforge - I'll be there as user
schmorp, and some other users might also be able to help with libev. You
might have to /msg me to get my attention, though.
