lievent源码分析：evbuffer

struct evbuffer定义在evbuffer-internal.h文件中。

evbuffer结构内部保存一个以evbuffer-chain结构为节点的链表，evbuffer内部有两个分别指向首尾节点的指针。

 struct evbuffer {
     /** The first chain in this buffer's linked list of chains. */
     struct evbuffer_chain *first;

     struct evbuffer_chain *last;
 
     /** Pointer to the next pointer pointing at the 'last_with_data' chain.
      *
      * To unpack:
      *
      * The last_with_data chain is the last chain that has any data in it.
      * If all chains in the buffer are empty, it is the first chain.
      * If the buffer has no chains, it is NULL.
      *
      * The last_with_datap pointer points at _whatever 'next' pointer_
      * points at the last_with_datap chain.  If the last_with_data chain
      * is the first chain, or it is NULL, then the last_with_datap pointer
      * is &buf->first.

struct evbuffer_chain：

evbuffer-chain结构内部保存一个表示buffer内容长度的变量以及一个char*的指针指向buffer内容所在的位置。
