| From the online documentation:
"Active events with a lower priority are always processed before events with a higher priority.”
Does is apply across multiple bases with multiple threads?
Example:
- Thread A and Thread B each have their own bases and each use event_base_priority_init(<base>, 5) on their bases
- Thread A creates an event with priority 2
- Thread B creates an event with priority 0
- Tons of packets come in to Thread A’s event queue. It starts processing them, occasionally writing data to the pipe that Thread B has its 0 priority event on, but there are still many packets already queued up for Thread A’s event queue
I’m hoping what happens here is that once Thread A writes to the pipe that Thread B has its 0 priority event on, Thread B will pick up that event from its base before more of Thread A’s base continues to feed Thread A its events.
Do I have that right?
Thanks!
