[Libevent-users] using event_base_loop withy timer events

[Roman Gershman <roman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,Â

my ebase thread does the following loop

while ((res = event_base_loop(ebase_, EVLOOP_ONCE)) == 1) {

}

and the other (main) adds timer event that runs every millisecond. It adds the event *after* the ebase thread calls event_base_loop.Â

event* ev = event_new(base(), -1, EV_PERSIST | EV_TIMEOUT, &PeriodicCb, data);

CHECK_EQ(0, event_add(ev, &tv));

I see that this event does not run. If I change flags from EVLOOP_ONCE to 0 it does run well.

How should I make event base to realize that the new event is added?

Thanks!

Roman
