定义的函数有以下几个：
evconnlistener_cb：函数指针类型，当有一个新连接到来时被回调。
evconnlistener_errorcb：函数指针类型，当有一个错误发生时被回调。
evconnlistener_new：基于一个给定的socket套接字描述符，返回一个struct evconnlistener对象，（要求描述符已经调用bind）
evconnlistener_new_bind：基于一个给定的sockaddr地址，返回一个struct evconnlistener对象；该函数会调用上面的函数。
evconnlistener_free：释放一个struct evconnlistener对象。
evconnlistener_enable：激活一个struct evconnlistener对象。
evconnlistener_disable：关闭一个struct evconnlistener对象。
evconnlistener_get_base：返回与该listener关联的event_base对象。
evconnlistener_get_fd：返回与该listener关联的socket描述符。
evconnlistener_set_cb：设置新连接到来时的回调函数。
evconnlistener_set_error_cb：设置发生错误时的回调函数。
数据结构：
struct evconnlistener {
const struct evconnlistener_ops *ops;
void *lock;
evconnlistener_cb cb;
evconnlistener_errorcb errorcb;
void *user_data;
unsigned flags;
short refcnt;
int accept4_flags;
unsigned enabled : ;
};
struct evconnlistener_event {
struct evconnlistener base;
struct event listener;
};
函数的实现：
我认为其中最需要花时间理解的函数只有两个：evconnlistener_new、listener_read_cb。
struct evconnlistener *
evconnlistener_new(struct event_base *base,
evconnlistener_cb cb, void *ptr, unsigned flags, int backlog,
evutil_socket_t fd)
{
struct evconnlistener_event *lev; #ifdef _WIN32
if (base && event_base_get_iocp_(base)) {
const struct win32_extension_fns *ext =
event_get_win32_extension_fns_();
if (ext->AcceptEx && ext->GetAcceptExSockaddrs)
return evconnlistener_new_async(base, cb, ptr, flags,
backlog, fd);
}
#endif if (backlog > ) {
if (listen(fd, backlog) < )
return NULL;
} else if (backlog < ) {
if (listen(fd, ) < )
return NULL;
} lev = mm_calloc(, sizeof(struct evconnlistener_event));
if (!lev)
return NULL; lev->base.ops = &evconnlistener_event_ops;
lev->base.cb = cb;
lev->base.user_data = ptr;
lev->base.flags = flags;
lev->base.refcnt = ; lev->base.accept4_flags = ;
if (!(flags & LEV_OPT_LEAVE_SOCKETS_BLOCKING))
lev->base.accept4_flags |= EVUTIL_SOCK_NONBLOCK;
if (flags & LEV_OPT_CLOSE_ON_EXEC)
lev->base.accept4_flags |= EVUTIL_SOCK_CLOEXEC; if (flags & LEV_OPT_THREADSAFE) {
EVTHREAD_ALLOC_LOCK(lev->base.lock, EVTHREAD_LOCKTYPE_RECURSIVE);
} event_assign(&lev->listener, base, fd, EV_READ|EV_PERSIST,
listener_read_cb, lev); if (!(flags & LEV_OPT_DISABLED))
evconnlistener_enable(&lev->base); return &lev->base;
}
总结起来这个函数就做个两件事：分配一个evconnlistener_event对象、初始化base成员和listener成员并激活该事件（evconnlistener_enable）。
这里需要注意到，初始化listener时传入的回调函数是listener_read_cb，而这个函数是在listener中定义的，而我们调用evconnlistener_new时传入的回调函数只是被赋值给了base.cb了，那么这个函数是怎么在新连接到来时被调用的呢？秘密就在listener_read_cb函数中，下面来看一下它的实现：
static void
listener_read_cb(evutil_socket_t fd, short what, void *p)
{
struct evconnlistener *lev = p;
int err;
evconnlistener_cb cb;
evconnlistener_errorcb errorcb;
void *user_data;
LOCK(lev);
while () {
struct sockaddr_storage ss;
ev_socklen_t socklen = sizeof(ss);
evutil_socket_t new_fd = evutil_accept4_(fd, (struct sockaddr*)&ss, &socklen, lev->accept4_flags);
if (new_fd < )
break;
if (socklen == ) {
/* This can happen with some older linux kernels in
* response to nmap. */
evutil_closesocket(new_fd);
continue;
} if (lev->cb == NULL) {
evutil_closesocket(new_fd);
UNLOCK(lev);
return;
}
++lev->refcnt;
cb = lev->cb;
user_data = lev->user_data;
UNLOCK(lev);
cb(lev, new_fd, (struct sockaddr*)&ss, (int)socklen,
user_data);
LOCK(lev);
if (lev->refcnt == ) {
int freed = listener_decref_and_unlock(lev);
EVUTIL_ASSERT(freed); evutil_closesocket(new_fd);
return;
}
--lev->refcnt;
}
err = evutil_socket_geterror(fd);
if (EVUTIL_ERR_ACCEPT_RETRIABLE(err)) {
UNLOCK(lev);
return;
}
if (lev->errorcb != NULL) {
++lev->refcnt;
errorcb = lev->errorcb;
user_data = lev->user_data;
UNLOCK(lev);
errorcb(lev, user_data);
LOCK(lev);
listener_decref_and_unlock(lev);
} else {
event_sock_warn(fd, "Error from accept() call");
UNLOCK(lev);
}
}
首先可以从L29-L32看到，我们在调用evconnlistener_new时传入的回调函数被调用了，这里就解开了上面我说的那个秘密，这里其实是libevent对于回调加了一层处理，通过listener_read_cb间接回调我们设置的回调函数，这样可以在listener_read_cb中处理一些异常情况，例如：当异常发生时回调errorcb。
到这里listener就分析完了，上面说需要理解的就这两个函数是因为其他的函数都是功能函数，实现不复杂，而evconnlistener_new_bind函数其实是调用了evconnlistener_new函数的。
