[systemd-devel] Using eventloop from pthread while using sd-bus functions in main threads causes deadlock or corruption

[Ben-melech, Shiran]

Hi,

i'm writing a small C library using sd-bus to communicate with
bluetooth low energy devices.

Instead of using a loop for reading from a specific characteristic on
the ble device, I want to use eventloop and register for value changes
on the object that represent this characteristic.

When i run the eventloop in a different pthread, since on the main i'm
writing to the ble service to get the data i want from the
characteristic - i get either what seems to be a deadlock or seg
faults.

i've used the example on your blog (
http://0pointer.net/blog/introducing-sd-event.html) to set up the
event.

Can anyone please advise? what might i be doing wrong?

Regards,

Shiran
