It has been the minimal version ever since libevent was introduced into bitcoin core, it was the version I was using at the time (yes, that long ago). |
|
If you want to change the minimum version to 2.0.21 that's really fine with me. I do vaguely remember newer versions fixed some issues (such as file descriptor leaks?), but, it will more or less work and I don't know which version fixed what anyhow. |

To give some background: I brought up the topic about checking minimum libevent version in IRC because a fuzz test (http_request) using internal libevent functions caused a linking error on my system. I then realized that I was running libevent 2.0.21, when the minimum required version according to Unfortunately with 2.0.22, the fuzz test wouldn't compile either, a workaround is needed for all versions < 2.1.1 see PR #18682 Nevertheless checking minimum required version is a good thing, so Concept ACK. |
|
w.r.t. #18682 I dropped my own workaround in |
Just out of curiosity, how would a workaround in |
smth. like #18358 with a test-based approach. |
|
Looks like Alpine, Arch, FreeBSD, and Ubuntu are at 2.1.11, while CentOS, Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, and openSUSE ship 2.1.8. Unfortunately, Devuan only ships 2.0.21 still... I don't see anything in 2.0.21..2.0.22 that should break the build, so I suggest we set the minimum enforced to 2.0.21 for now, require 2.1.8 for the fuzzer to build, and consider bumping the project-wide minimum to 2.1.8 sometime in the near future. |
