Hi, Patrick Clochesy I guess you need a half-aync/half-sync thread pool. The main event loop thread (half-async) "handles all the accepts", and the "two other types of threads" (half-sync) are in charge of authenticating.
If so, i suggest you to take a look for the SPServer . > SPServer is a server framework, it implements: > 1.An Accepter for TCP Server > 2.An asynchronous layer. It has only one thread ( event loop thread ), > 3.A synchronous layer. It has multiple threads. > 4.A queue between asynchronous layer and synchronous layer. http://code.google.com/p/spserver/ http://spserver.googlecode.com/files/spserver-0.3.src.tar.gz Best regards， liusifan 2007-06-08 >>>Here's a quick synopsis for those who don't want to read the whole >explanation :) Is it possible to create events in threads that will >fire in the main thread if the access to event_set is mutually >exclusive? > >Longer explanation: >After I already implemented a multithreaded server based on libevent, >I saw Steven's message about the threading support.
