[Libevent-users] multi-threaded question

[Scott Dorr <j.scott.dorr@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thread A generates a timer event.
Thread B calls event_free_finalize() on that event.

Is this ok?


What if:

Thread A and B each have their own bases.

Thread A generates timer event.

Thread B is invoked through some read event.
	While Thread B is in scope, timer ‘goes off’ and is queued for A to process when we get back to A’s event queue
Still in Thread B, it calls event_free_finalize() on that event.
Thread B goes back to polling its queue.

Thread A wakes up.


The timer firing had been put in A’s queue, B later event_free_finalize()’d it … will A’s callback still be invoked for that timer?
