Replacement for event_init?

[Jeffrey Walton]

http://www.wangafu.net/~nickm/libevent-book/Ref2_eventbase.html states
that event_init is obsolete. But it does not state what should be
called in its place (and the source code appears to continue using
it).

I found a shutdown function in libevent_global_shutdown. But I did not
find a libevent_global_startup to match libevent_global_shutdown.

What function should be called for initialization?

Thanks in advance.

event_base_new() , and be sure to only use functions that accept a
event_base* param

That same page tells you to use event_base_new() instead.

Any calls that assume a default/current base instead of explicitly calling out a base have been deprecated. So, instead of using ‘event_init()’ which is non-specific, use ‘event_base_new()’ for each event base you’d like to set up.

Thanks gentleman.

So I'm clear: there is no *_init() function. I just start using the
library and everything just works.

event_base_new() does all the initialization you need to use that base.

Thanks Scott.

Forgive my ignorance here. Does the library need to be initialized
(beyond base initialization)? If so, what is the function (I can only
find the deprecated/obsolete function).

I probably should have stated this earlier: I'm using 2.0.21-stable.

Another question (if you'll forgive the transgression): what is the
official email address for the list? I noticed two are in play
(freehaven.net and seul.org).

I typically use freehaven. I’m not sure why there’s two addresses. :)
