Actually, if we're willing to require that the user block signals on non-"signals here" threads themself, we can do a lot better than our current silliness on a couple more platforms: using signalfd on Linux would become a lot simpler. Naturally, we couldn't do this by default, since .

If every platform had kqueue, Niels would never have started Libevent in the first place. ;) yrs, -- Nick *********************************************************************** To unsubscribe, send an e-mail to majord...@freehaven.net with unsubscribe libevent-users in the body.
