libevent笔记2：Hello_World

本篇通过libevent提供的Hello_World demo简单介绍基于libevent的TCP服务器的实现

listener

listener是libevent提供的一种监听本地端口的数据结构，在有客户端的连接到来时调用给定的回调函数。

bufferevent

上一篇中的event是不带缓存区的，读写直接在文件描述符所指向的对象（上一节中是有名管道）上进行。bufferent则是带缓冲区的event，对bufferevnet的读写操作不会直接作用在I/O上，而是对输入或输出缓存区操作。对bufferevent的读操作会从文件描述符相应的输入缓存区读数据；而写操作会将数据写进文件描述符相应的输出缓存区。

    struct timeval delay = { 2, 0 };

    printf("Caught an interrupt signal; exiting cleanly in two seconds.\n");

    event_base_loopexit(base, &delay);
}

编译并运行文件：

sunminming@sunminming:~/libevent/helloworld$ gcc helloworld.c -o main -levent
sunminming@sunminming:~/libevent/helloworld$ ./main

之后另开一个终端：

sunminming@sunminming:~$ nc 127.0.0.1 9995
Hello, World!

在第一个终端键入Ctrl+C：

sunminming@sunminming:~/libevent/helloworld$ gcc helloworld.c -o main -levent
sunminming@sunminming:~/libevent/helloworld$ ./main
flushed answer
^CCaught an interrupt signal; exiting cleanly in two seconds.
done
sunminming@sunminming:~/libevent/helloworld$

对于这个TCP服务器，整体的逻辑如下：

新建一个event_base，然后在其上绑定一个listener来监听特定端口(9995);
新建一个处理信号的事件signal_event，并与上一步中的event_base绑定；
调用event_base_dispatch来监控两个事件，包括指定的TCP连接及SIGINT信号：
- 当监听到一个连接时，libevent会触发listen_callback，即为上面的listener_cb函数，该函数首先基于底层的socket建立一个bufferevent，并设置为可写不可读，最后调用bufferevent_write函数向其中缓存区写。
  - bufferevent_write函数写后回触发写回调函数conn_writecb，由于该例子中不需要其他操作，所以conn_writecb函数直接释放这个连接。（写回调函数的机制比较复杂，具体可以看这篇博客）
- 当中断信号(Ctrl+C)出现时，libevent会触发signal_event的回调函数signal_cb，该函数会在2秒后停止event_base的监听，并退回到主函数；
主函数依次释放listener，signal_event和event_base的资源，结束。
