[Libevent-users] event_base_dispatch not returning

[Stephen Andrew <sjahf7@xxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to get an event loop running, using event_base_dispatch. However, the function fails to return (blocks)

I had it running, until I changed something in another source file - which might be a part of the callback structure.

Here's (sort of) what my code looks like:

ev1 = event_new(base, fd, EV_READ|EV_PERSIST, grab_packet, some_struct)

event_base_dispatch(base); //this is where it gets stuck

void grab_packet()
{
Â...
Â...

Âsome_other_func();

}

some_other_Func()
{
Â...
Â...

Âyet_another_func();

}

yet_another_func()
{

Â//changes here caused event_base_dispatch to start blocking

}

Sorry the code is sketchy, but I don't know if I'm authorized to give out the details of it.

Has anyone else had this problem?
