This project is a C++ TCP server framework and educational socket programming guide. It provides a high-performance network library focused on event-driven architecture, implementing a reactor pattern to handle thousands of simultaneous client connections.
The framework is distinguished by its multi-threaded event loop, which utilizes a main-sub reactor coordination model to distribute network events across a worker thread pool. It includes an abstraction layer for non-blocking socket I/O and event multiplexing via the epoll system call, decoupling network transport from application business logic through callback functions.
The project covers low-level socket programming, including connection lifecycle management and bidirectional data exchange. It incorporates concurrency primitives for task scheduling and load balancing, non-blocking I/O buffering, and automatic memory release using smart pointers.
Development tools are included for automated building, code formatting, and static analysis to maintain source code quality.
