Hi,
On FreeBSD/i386 6.1-STABLE using libevent-1.2 (from ports) i noticed a
consistent segmentation fault when trying to use evtimer_set from a
different function context than event_dispatch():
Essentially i am doing the following:
void
myInit(void)
{
struct event timeout;
struct timeval tv;
evtimer_set(&timeout, watchdogFeed, &timeout);
timerclear(&tv);
tv.tv_sec = 1;
event_add(&timeout, &tv);
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
.
.
event_init();
myInit();
event_dispatch();
.
.
}
When i execute the resulting binary i get a segmentation fault, with
coredump:
#0 0x28080a56 in event_tree_RB_MINMAX (head=0x5657e589, val=-1) at
event.c:142
tmp = (struct event *) 0x5657e589
parent = (struct event *) 0x5657e589
#1 0x2808181a in timeout_next (base=0x804b000, tv=0xbfbfe9b0) at
event.c:651
dflt = Unhandled dwarf expression opcode 0x93
(that dwarf expression opcode message is really odd there btw)
If however i move the "event_dispatch()" call Into the context of my
init() function ... everything suddenly behaves as expected.
Can anybody else reproduce this and/or give me any hints on where i
might possibly do something wrong ?
