Fix a potentially very annoying evdns bug that we found in Tor. Generally speaking, it way better to event_assign() an event when you allocate it than to assign it before every time you event_add it: if it is already event_add()ed, the assign will mess it up so that it doesn't _look_ added, and event_add() will insert a second copy. Later, event_del() will only delete the second copy. Eventually, the event_base will have a dangling pointer to freed memory. Ouch! svn:r1308
To build libevent, type
$ ./configure && make
(If you got libevent from the subversion repository, you will
first need to run the included "autogen.sh" script in order to
generate the configure script.)
Install as root via
# make install
You can run the regression tests by
$ make verify
Before, reporting any problems, please run the regression tests.
To enable the low-level tracing build the library as:
CFLAGS=-DUSE_DEBUG ./configure [...]
