Hi!
We use libev in Linux (2.6.35 on big/small endian ARM) for a simple
network client application where we want to timeout connect() attempts.
http://www.unixguide.net/network/socketfaq/3.5.shtml
For this purpose we use the following construct in a libev callback.
timeout = NULL_TIMER;
timeout.it_value.tv_sec = 10;
setitimer(ITIMER_REAL, &timeout, NULL);
if (connect (...) == -1) { ... }
timeout = NULL_TIMER;
setitimer (ITIMER_REAL, &timeout, NULL);
Is this OK for use with libev, or do you have any other recommendation?
Basically we're a bit concerned if it conflicts with the internal timer
implementation, or event loop, in libev.
Regards
/Joachim
