Hey Everyone, i did use Libevent in my master thesis to programm a multithreaded websocket server and while i know *how to use* Libevent now, i dont really know how Libevent works internally. Everything i did know was that it relies on multiplexing-IO-mechanisms like epoll.
So in order to be able to explain how libevent works internally i decided to look at the source and was able to understand a lot. But now i am having problems figuring out why the evbuffer is as it actually is. Why is the evbuffer represented as some type of linked list with chain-Nodes containing the actually buffers? What was the idea behind using a linked list of buffers instead just using on single Buffer? And what is the purpose of the misalign-space in the Buffers? Hope someone can kindly explain it. Thanks in advance, Fc *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@freehaven.net with unsubscribe libevent-users in the body.
