Re: [Libevent-users] How to make a eventloop similiar to select() with a timeout of 1sec

[åéé <sunyucong@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks everyone, here is the final solution that I am in use now,
works pretty good.

void exit_after_one_second(evutil_socket_t fd, short events, void *arg)
{
  event_base_loopbreak((struct event_base *)arg);
}

int run_for_at_most_one_second(struct event_base *base)
{
  int r;
  static struct event *ev = NULL;
  struct timeval one_second = {1, 0};

  if (ev == NULL)
    ev = evtimer_new(base, exit_after_one_second, base);

  event_add(ev, &one_second);
  r = event_base_loop(base, EVLOOP_ONCE);
  return r;
}
