event_enable_debug_logging missing? about libevent HOT 8 CLOSED

Ow! That's a genuine bug. AFAICT that function never got written. How annoying!

Should be fixed by 3b3e21d

from libevent.

I have double and triple checked that I have the latest version of libevent and I keep getting
"event_enable_debug_logging not declared in this scope" and "EVENT_DBG_ALL not declared in this scope" errors. I have checked the source code in the event2/event.h header that the libevent documentation says this function and macro are contained in and they are not there. Have they been implemented? Are the deprecated and no one documented it? If so what should I use instead of them?

They are not deprecated, but you can have too damn old version I guess, could you provide next info:

• environment (os/distribution)
• version of libevent

It was introduced in e30a82f - release-2.0.10-stable-5-ge30a82f1

from libevent.

I appreciate the reply azat, I'm running an Ubuntu 16.04 VM and I have version 2.0.21 of libevent. Any other ideas as to what might be wrong? I've tried updating the libevent-dev package, but that doesn't seem to help at all. Thanks in advance.

So this fails, yes?

#include <event2/event.h>

int main()
{
    event_enable_debug_logging(EVENT_DBG_ALL);
    return 0;
}

gcc -levent_core test.c || gcc -levent test.c

?

from libevent.

Yes, this fails.

Yeah, It was introduced around 2.0.10, but it never merged to 2.0, IOW it is only in 2.1, and I'm suggesting you to switch to 2.1, since 2.0 is more-or-less EOL.
