Hi All,
I have a basic question using libev. Before asking the question let me put
in context of what iam trying to do.
Thread 1 -> Puts my_struct ptr in an array (protected by lock)
Thread 2 -> on lock released reads the entry from array. As expected
thread2 {
while (1)
{
check lock
read from array
release lock
}
The need to use libev comes at this point. After I read something from
array I would want to add the new sd to the loop. However I get the socket
descriptor only after I read from the array. So I will have to run
ev_loop() prior to adding any descriptors. In order to solve this problem I
plan to just create another thread before the while(1) loop.
in thread all I would do is
void* WPEVThread(void *ctx)
{
#pragma unused(ctx)
ev_loop(loop, 0);
return NULL;
}
Once I have a sd to add to loop can I call
ev_io_init(&d_packet->io, connect_ps_cb, d_packet->connect_sd, EV_WRITE|
EV_READ);
ev_timer_init(&d_packet->timeout_watcher, connect_timeout_handler,
DEFAULT_CONNECT_TIMER, 0);
ev_timer_start(loop, &d_packet->timeout_watcher);
ev_io_start(loop, &d_packet->io);
Is there a problem with this approach?
Regards,
Varun
