Both solutions are the only valid options today. Preferably, you could just add:

if ( !this->isRunning() ) return;

to the top of your callback function.

The real question is if a non-running component should execute the
event port callbacks or not. I'm not tempted to change this behavior,
although similar discussions have happened in the past regarding the
execution semantics of the callbacks.
