Package: libc6 Version: 2.3.2-5 Severity: wishlist epoll_create, epoll_ctl, epoll_wait are not implemented in glibc-2.3.2-5. E.g. if you try to compile http://www.xmailserver.org/linux-patches/pipetest.c you'll get:
% gcc -o pipetest pipetest.c /tmp/ccqaypwZ.o(.text+0x3e0): In function `main': : warning: epoll_create is not implemented and will always fail /tmp/ccqaypwZ.o(.text+0x4d8): In function `main': : warning: epoll_ctl is not implemented and will always fail /tmp/ccqaypwZ.o(.text+0x183): In function `run_once': : warning: epoll_wait is not implemented and will always fail With the external epoll library (http://www.xmailserver.org/linux-patches/epoll-lib-0.9.tar.gz) the test code works fine: % gcc -o pipetest pipetest.c -Lepoll-lib-0.9/lib -lepoll % ./pipetest 4.128713 3.970297 ... Now that 2.6.0-test kernels are available, it would be nice to have support for epoll in glibc. (RedHat's glibc-2.3.2 builds already support it.) More information about epoll can be found at http://www.xmailserver.org/linux-patches/nio-improve.html Man pages (epoll.4, epoll_create.2, epoll_ctl.2, epoll_wait.2) are available from http://www.xmailserver.org/linux-patches/epoll-lib-0.9.tar.gz -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux fry 2.6.0-test4-mm5 #1 SMP Thu Sep 4 19:13:49 CEST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C Versions of packages libc6 depends on: ii libdb1-compat 2.1.3-7 The Berkeley database routines [gl -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
