For other functions, as you've quoted above: if they modify the event loop, they're not thread-safe. So from your list, ev_feed_event() and ev_clear_pending() are not thread-safe because they modify an event loop. ev_X_init doesn't touch the loop, but it's as safe as any other variable initialization. It doesn't do any internal locking, so two concurrent ev_X_init on the same memory from different threads of execution would be unsafe. -- Brandon
