Not sure what you mean converting C to C++ - libev already is C++, so
there is no need to convert anything.

Yup, the types don't match - ev_set_loop_release_cb expects a function -
you would need to declare your lock and unlock functions as static. You
can set and query an object for example by passing it to ev_set_userdata
and fetching it via ev_userdata from your static member functions.
