Ask yourself why you use libevent :)
If I understand you correctly (which I quite possibly don't) you propose
something like this:
for(;;) {
accept_new_connections(); /* Doesn't block */
event_loop(EVLOOP_NONBLOCK);
}
But this negates the point of libevent since you're now polling for
events in a loop (very inefficient). Instead, just let libevent tell you
when something of interest (such as write readiness or incoming connections)
happens.
