Sure will check it.

Yeah, i saw your patch and wanted to add it, but missed it. My bad
Will add it in the next version.

Weird, I dont see "nevents" in the patch I sent? it is "idx". Dont know

I dont get it, reinitialize all the three here in this function?

once again, checkpatch warning of 80 character.
