My guess is that you're setting up these events before constructing an
event_base or calling event_init. That might have worked with libevent
1, but in libevent 2, you need to make sure every event has an
event_base. ÂThe best way is to call one of the functions that creates
an event_base explicitly, and then use event_new or event_assign to
construct your events -- but you can still use event_init() and
event_set() like you did before, just so long as you call event_init()
first.

Thank you for input,

make me reread some doc:

event assign say:

Note that it is NOT safe to call this function on an event that is active or pending. Doing so WILL corrupt internal data structures in Libevent, and lead to strange, hard-to-diagnose bugs. You _can_ use event_assign to change an existing event, but only if it is not active or pending!

and i do not know why i was reassigning the same event.

works much better now i ASSIGN once and then del /add :-)

love libevent :-)
