Hi,
When event_add(&ev, &tv) returns -1, what is the proper way to clean up.
For example function XYZZY() takes socket fd as an argument
XYZZY(int sockfd)
{
allocate event structure related memory...
...
event_set(&(event->event), sockfd, EV_TIMEOUT | EV_WRITE |
EV_PERSIST, connected, &(event->event));
ret = event_base_set(event_base, &(event->event));
if (ret == 0)
{
ret = event_add(&(event->event), &CONNECT_WAIT);
}
if (ret != 0)
{
// What is the proper action to take here?
return FAIL;
}
...
return SUCCESS;
}
-------------
The reason I ask is that it seems event_add() will continue to time for
CONNECT_WAIT time
even if it returns -1, failure. Shouldn't event_add(), on return of -1,
unwind from the timer that
it has started?
Thanks,
Martin
