Instead of using 'event_base_dispatch(base)' I am now using 'event_base_loop(base, EVLOOP_NONBLOCK)' in a while(!shutdown) loop. This seems to work fine: the thread shuts down instantly and libevent cleans up. I also tried experimenting with the 'EVLOOP_ONCE' flag but then I encountered the same problem as when using no flags at all: libevent never really quits the loop, and I don't really get why it does that. I seem to be able to continue with this workaround, but I doubt that it's the best way to handle this. So, if anyone has any suggestions on how to handle this differently, then please let me know. _______________________________________________ Libevent-users mailing list Libevent-users@monkey.org http://monkeymail.org/mailman/listinfo/libevent-users
