I'm putting together a patch to use SO_(RCV|SND)TIMEO for
apr_socket_timeout where available; I expect I'll find it has better
performance on some platforms, as it would no longer require using
non-blocking IO and preceding every read() and write() with a select().
(I intend to try benchmarking Apache on Darwin, where the system call
overhead seems to be quite high.)
On some older versions of platforms (Linux 2.2), these #defines exist
but do not work - it's not possible to set them. Can I assume that if
APR is built with a kernel in which it does work (Linux 2.4), it will
be run with one as well? Or should I include a runtime check for this
option?
Thanks,
Scott Lamb
