I see - it seems libev was trying poll because that wasn't broken in
earlier revisions. apple did a good job breaking poll instead of
fixing
kqueue in 10.5 it seems.
The next release of libev will automatically use select on os x.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I didn't expect OS X to
become
even more broken :/
Poll is implemented on top of kqueue as far as I know, so thats
possibly why it isn't working. I think this is a 10.5 thing.
I haven't benchmarked kqueue. This wasn't really about benchmarking -
it was more about scratching my particular itch. I don't expect to
ever have a huge number of fds to query, so at this point it is a bit
inconsequential.
I was very confused about the original behavior of kqueue. I just
expected it to work as you indicated. Nothing in the documentation
indicates otherwise. So, this whole hack has been my exploration into
the issue and finding a working solution. That helped me to confirm
the original fault.
In my case - stdin is a very low bandwidth source of input, therefore
I'm not too concerned about performance and the whole hack of reading
and writing on separate threads. In my case, it solves MY problem and
it works well.
This doesn't mean I don't understand where you are coming from.
If you have all this energy, why not file a bug report.

I'm bringing the issue up further with other developers on the darwin
mailing list. I'll end up filing a bug report when I have more
information and can provide a good report to Apple.
Kind regards
Samuel
