main函数基于libevent,但函数中有一个long run task。所以启动 N 个线程来运行任务。这个想法可以吗?以及如何在 C 中同时使用 libevent 和 pthread?

碰到一个老问题,可能已经解决了。但是发布答案以防万一其他人需要它。
是的,在这种情况下可以进行线程化。我最近在 pthreads 中使用了 libevent,它似乎工作得很好。这是代码:
#include <stdint.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <event.h>
void * thread_func (void *);
int main(void)
{
int32_t tid = 0, ret = -1;
struct event_base *evbase;
struct event *timer;
int32_t *t_ret = &ret;
struct timeval tv;
// 1. initialize libevent for pthreads
evthread_use_pthreads();
ret = pthread_create(&tid, NULL, thread_func, NULL);
// check ret for error
// 2. allocate event base
evbase = event_base_new();
// 3. allocate event object
timer = event_new(evbase, -1, EV_PERSIST, callback_func, NULL);
// 4. add event
tv.tv_sec = 0;
tv.tv_usec = 1000;
evtimer_add(timer, &tv);
// 5. start the event loop
event_base_dispatch(evbase); // event loop
// join pthread...
// 6. free resources
event_free(timer);
event_base_free(evbase);
return 0;
}
void * thread_func(void *arg)
{
struct event *ev;
struct event_base *base;
base = event_base_new();
ev = event_new(base, -1, EV_PERSIST, thread_callback, NULL);
event_add(ev, NULL); // wait forever
event_base_dispatch(base); // start event loop
event_free(ev);
event_base_free(base);
pthread_exit(0);
}
如您所见,在我的例子中,主线程的事件是计时器。遵循的基本逻辑如下:
- 调用evthread_use_pthreads()为 Linux 上的 pthreads 初始化 libevent(我的例子)。对于 Windows evthread_use_window_threads()。查看event.h本身给出的文档。
- 按照文档中的说明在全局堆上分配event_base结构。确保检查返回值是否有错误。
- 同上,但分配事件结构本身。就我而言,我没有等待任何文件描述符,因此 -1 作为参数传递。另外,我希望我的事件持续存在,因此EV_PERSIST。回调函数的代码被省略。
- 安排事件执行
- 启动事件循环
- 完成后释放资源。
在我的案例中使用的 Libevent 版本是libevent2 5.1.9,您还需要libevent_pthreads.so库进行链接。
干杯。
这篇博文中有一个多线程 libevent 示例: http ://www.roncemer.com/multi-threaded-libevent-server-example
他的解决方案是,引用:
解决方案是为每个活动连接创建一个 libevent 事件队列 (AKA event_base),每个连接都有自己的事件泵线程。这个项目正是这样做的,为您提供编写高性能、多线程、基于 libevent 的套接字服务器所需的一切。
那会奏效。
在 I/O 回调函数中,将耗时的工作委托给线程池的另一个线程。确切的机制取决于工作线程或线程池的接口。
要将结果从工作线程传回 I/O 线程,请使用管道。工作线程将指向结果对象的指针写入管道,然后 I/O 线程唤醒并从管道中读取指针。
注意这适用于 libev 而不是 libevent,但这个想法可能适用。
在这里,我为社区提供了一个示例。请评论并让我知道是否有任何明显的错误。此示例可能包括用于线程终止和将来优雅退出的信号处理程序。
