You shouldn't be getting error conditions in this case. Remember, bufferevents are implemented using the underlying operating system's networking API, which typically will not alert you to errors except during a read, write, connect, or other similar network operation. If reading and writing are disabled, Libevent won't be doing network operations, so it can't notice errors.

When I call bufferevent_disable() on a bufferevent and disable both READ and WRITEs, will I still get callbacks should there be an error condition (say socket getting closed by peer) or no error conditions will be reported for as long as I stay disabled in this fashion ?
