Hi Torsten, I don't know if you did this deliberately, but your latest change to java/net/PlainSocketImpl.java to implement the connect(addr,timeout) method has clobbered an existing implementation checked in a few hours earlier by Michael Koch on my behalf.
Your implementation ignores the timeout (with a comment to the effect that this should be implemented in the future) The implementation that yours overwrote implement connect timeouts by setting the SO_TIMEOUT socket option before calling the native connect method. I know that my implementation will not work for older Linux kernel that do not allow you to change socket timeouts. But recent kernels do ... by to my reading of the kernel source code. And at least the behaviour in an older kernel will be to use a default timeout ... which is the same as what your implementation does! The alternative approach to implementing the connect timeout would entail setting an interval timer and catching SIGALRM, etc. I don't think we should do this in the Classpath native libs because of the possibility of interfering with other uses of SIGALRM by the JVM. Either way, do you intend to implement connect timeouts? -- Steve _______________________________________________ Classpath mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/classpath
