bufferevent_socket_new()返回NULL

1.问题

• 我有一段代码时这样写的，可以通过检测：

//为这个客户端分配一个 bufferevent，释放时关闭套接字，使用锁会失败？？
    struct bufferevent *bev =  bufferevent_socket_new(base, fd,BEV_OPT_CLOSE_ON_FREE);
    assert(bev !=NULL);

• 但是当我加上标志BEV_OPT_THREADSAFE时，函数返回NULL，如下：

//为这个客户端分配一个 bufferevent，释放时关闭套接字，使用锁会失败？？
    struct bufferevent *bev =  bufferevent_socket_new(base, fd,BEV_OPT_THREADSAFE|BEV_OPT_CLOSE_ON_FREE);
    assert(bev !=NULL);

2.原因

struct bufferevent *
bufferevent_socket_new(struct event_base *base, evutil_socket_t fd,
    int options)
{
	struct bufferevent_private *bufev_p;
	struct bufferevent *bufev;

#ifdef WIN32
	if (base && event_base_get_iocp(base))
		return bufferevent_async_new(base, fd, options);
#endif

	if ((bufev_p = mm_calloc(1, sizeof(struct bufferevent_private)))== NULL)
		return NULL;

	if (bufferevent_init_common(bufev_p, base, &bufferevent_ops_socket,
				    options) < 0) {
		mm_free(bufev_p);
		return NULL;
	}
	bufev = &bufev_p->bev;
	evbuffer_set_flags(bufev->output, EVBUFFER_FLAG_DRAINS_TO_FD);

	event_assign(&bufev->ev_read, bufev->ev_base, fd,
	    EV_READ|EV_PERSIST, bufferevent_readcb, bufev);
	event_assign(&bufev->ev_write, bufev->ev_base, fd,
	    EV_WRITE|EV_PERSIST, bufferevent_writecb, bufev);

	evbuffer_add_cb(bufev->output, bufferevent_socket_outbuf_cb, bufev);

	evbuffer_freeze(bufev->input, 0);
	evbuffer_freeze(bufev->output, 1);

	return bufev;
}

• 猜测bufferevent_init_common()遇到了错误，再展开这个函数的源码：

int
bufferevent_init_common(struct bufferevent_private *bufev_private,
    struct event_base *base,
    const struct bufferevent_ops *ops,
    enum bufferevent_options options)
{
	struct bufferevent *bufev = &bufev_private->bev;

	if (!bufev->input) {
		if ((bufev->input = evbuffer_new()) == NULL)
			return -1;
	}

	if (!bufev->output) {
		if ((bufev->output = evbuffer_new()) == NULL) {
			evbuffer_free(bufev->input);
			return -1;
		}
	}

	bufev_private->refcnt = 1;
	bufev->ev_base = base;

	/* Disable timeouts. */
	evutil_timerclear(&bufev->timeout_read);
	evutil_timerclear(&bufev->timeout_write);

	bufev->be_ops = ops;

	/*
	 * Set to EV_WRITE so that using bufferevent_write is going to
	 * trigger a callback.  Reading needs to be explicitly enabled
	 * because otherwise no data will be available.
	 */
	bufev->enabled = EV_WRITE;

#ifndef _EVENT_DISABLE_THREAD_SUPPORT
	if (options & BEV_OPT_THREADSAFE) {
		if (bufferevent_enable_locking(bufev, NULL) < 0) {
			/* cleanup */
			evbuffer_free(bufev->input);
			evbuffer_free(bufev->output);
			bufev->input = NULL;
			bufev->output = NULL;
			return -1;
		}
	}
#endif
	if ((options & (BEV_OPT_DEFER_CALLBACKS|BEV_OPT_UNLOCK_CALLBACKS))
	    == BEV_OPT_UNLOCK_CALLBACKS) {
		event_warnx("UNLOCK_CALLBACKS requires DEFER_CALLBACKS");
		return -1;
	}
	if (options & BEV_OPT_DEFER_CALLBACKS) {
		if (options & BEV_OPT_UNLOCK_CALLBACKS)
			event_deferred_cb_init(&bufev_private->deferred,
			    bufferevent_run_deferred_callbacks_unlocked,
			    bufev_private);
		else
			event_deferred_cb_init(&bufev_private->deferred,
			    bufferevent_run_deferred_callbacks_locked,
			    bufev_private);
	}

	bufev_private->options = options;

	evbuffer_set_parent(bufev->input, bufev);
	evbuffer_set_parent(bufev->output, bufev);

	return 0;
}

• 如果是bufferevent_enable_locking()调用失败的话：

int
bufferevent_enable_locking(struct bufferevent *bufev, void *lock)
{
#ifdef _EVENT_DISABLE_THREAD_SUPPORT
	return -1;
#else
	struct bufferevent *underlying;

	if (BEV_UPCAST(bufev)->lock)
		return -1;
	underlying = bufferevent_get_underlying(bufev);

	if (!lock && underlying && BEV_UPCAST(underlying)->lock) {
		lock = BEV_UPCAST(underlying)->lock;
		BEV_UPCAST(bufev)->lock = lock;
		BEV_UPCAST(bufev)->own_lock = 0;
	} else if (!lock) {
		EVTHREAD_ALLOC_LOCK(lock, EVTHREAD_LOCKTYPE_RECURSIVE);
		if (!lock)
			return -1;
		BEV_UPCAST(bufev)->lock = lock;
		BEV_UPCAST(bufev)->own_lock = 1;
	} else {
		BEV_UPCAST(bufev)->lock = lock;
		BEV_UPCAST(bufev)->own_lock = 0;
	}
	evbuffer_enable_locking(bufev->input, lock);
	evbuffer_enable_locking(bufev->output, lock);

	if (underlying && !BEV_UPCAST(underlying)->lock)
		bufferevent_enable_locking(underlying, lock);

	return 0;
#endif
}

• 这个返回-1的原因太多了，等做完毕设再追究

可能的原因(尚未验证)

晚上翻了下代码和文档，感觉应该是没有设置锁函数，见官方文档5.4节，locks and threading，就是说之前还要调用一下evthread_use_pthreads()或evthread_use_windows_threads()

#ifdef WIN32
int evthread_use_windows_threads(void);
#define EVTHREAD_USE_WINDOWS_THREADS_IMPLEMENTED
#endif
#ifdef _EVENT_HAVE_PTHREADS
int evthread_use_pthreads(void);
#define EVTHREAD_USE_PTHREADS_IMPLEMENTED
#endif
