最近想研究下 libev 这个网络库，所以先从官方文档一个最简单的 demo 开始，代码如下：
//io.c
// a single header file is required
#include <ev.h>
#include <stdio.h> // for puts
// every watcher type has its own typedef'd struct
// with the name ev_TYPE
ev_io stdin_watcher;
ev_timer timeout_watcher;
// all watcher callbacks have a similar signature
// this callback is called when data is readable on stdin
static void stdin_cb (EV_P_ ev_io *w, int revents) {
puts ("stdin ready");
// for one-shot events, one must manually stop the watcher
// with its corresponding stop function.
ev_io_stop (EV_A_ w);
// this causes all nested ev_run's to stop iterating
ev_break (EV_A_ EVBREAK_ALL);
}
// another callback, this time for a time-out
static void timeout_cb (EV_P_ ev_timer *w, int revents) {
puts ("timeout");
// this causes the innermost ev_run to stop iterating
ev_break (EV_A_ EVBREAK_ONE);
} int main (void) {
// use the default event loop unless you have special needs
struct ev_loop *loop = EV_DEFAULT;
// initialise an io watcher, then start it
// this one will watch for stdin to become readable
ev_io_init (&stdin_watcher, stdin_cb,
/* STDIN_FILENO*/ , EV_READ);
ev_io_start (loop, &stdin_watcher);
// initialise a timer watcher, then start it
// simple non-repeating 5.5 second timeout
ev_timer_init (&timeout_watcher, timeout_cb, 5.5, .);
ev_timer_start (loop, &timeout_watcher);
// now wait for events to arrive
ev_run (loop, );
// break was called, so exit
return ;
}
编译并运行：
gcc -c -o io.o io.c
gcc -o io io.o -lev $ ./io
$ timeout
$ ./io
$
$ stdin ready
编译的时候需要链接 libev 动态库。
从上面可以看出，我是运行了这个程序两次。第一次是运行后就不再执行任何操作， 等待程序自己因为超时而结束。第二次就是按了一个回车，使 stdin 处于可读状态，触发了 io 事件， 程序也结束了。
可以说这代码非常容易理解，代码间的注视也是非常的详细。
以后会对 libev 的具体数据结果和实现进行分析。这个 demo 就到这里啦。
