RE: [Libevent-users] Opaque data on callback?

["Kelly Brock" <Kerby@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Harlan,

	Perhaps I'm missing something but the callback for async dns is:

_lookup_response( int errCode, struct evutil_addrinfo* info, void* data )

Where the "data" member is what you pass into evdns_getaddrinfo and can be
anything you want.  So, you already have a place to put your context don't
you?
