Re: [Libevent-users] Does EV_PERSIST with a timeout work differently on 1.x and 2.x versions?

After the Timeout event was fired, it seemed as though the event was

Is this different behaviour expected?


I think the answer is yes. From the "whatsnew-2.0.txt" file:


2.6. Timeouts and persistent events work together.

  Previously, it wasn't useful to set a timeout on a persistent event:
  the timeout would trigger once, and never again.  This is not what
  applications tend to want.  Instead, applications tend to want every
  triggering of the event to re-set the timeout.


Hope this helps,
