Hello all, I’d like to use a socket based bufferevent to perform asynchronous
writing to the underlying socket: One thread, X, adds data to the output evbuffer (either
by evbuffer_reserve_space+ evbuffer_commit_space or by evbuffer_add_reference)
and another thread, Y, dispatches on the bufferevent’s event_base (i.e., actually
sends the data via the socket). My questions are – Does thread X need to perform locking on the evbuffer? If so then how can I have thread Y synchronize on the same
locks? I assume that setting the bufferevent option BEV_OPT_THREADSAFE will not affect the “direct”
access to the evbuffer by X. Thanks, Avi |
