From 5609c504337b79fd6f521c42b414c650b23d0c9a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Tridgell Date: Fri, 26 Mar 2010 21:13:27 +1100 Subject: tevent: added tevent_re_initialise() This allows us to re-initialise a tevent context without destroying the pointer. That means that if someone keeps a long term ptr to the event context across a fork it will still work. This also brings the memory handling in single and standard process models much closer together, which means less bugs that we don't find with make test. --- lib/tevent/tevent.c | 15 +++++++++++++++ lib/tevent/tevent.h | 2 ++ 2 files changed, 17 insertions(+) diff --git a/lib/tevent/tevent.c b/lib/tevent/tevent.c index a0ee208663..ceae534c9b 100644 --- a/lib/tevent/tevent.c +++ b/lib/tevent/tevent.c @@ -616,3 +616,18 @@ int _tevent_loop_wait(struct tevent_context *ev, const char *location) { return ev->ops->loop_wait(ev, location); } + + +/* + re-initialise a tevent context.
