Attached is a patch that makes event_base_loop() return 2 if it returns
because of a prior call to event_base_loopexit() or
event_base_loopbreak(). This is useful when the caller calls
event_base_loop(base, EVLOOP_ONCE) repeatedly (to do stuff in between
events) and need to know if it should exit.
Patch is against 2.0.2-alpha.
