Category: API Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: jls (apjenkins) >Assigned to: Daniel Stenberg (bagder) Summary: libssh2_poll handles -1 timeout incorrectly Initial Comment: The documentation for libssh2_poll says the semantics are like poll(2). However poll(2) accepts a -1 timeout, which means to wait indefinitely. libssh2_poll does not correctly handle a -1 timeout. It seems like the only way to indicate an indefinite wait is to pass a really large timeout to libssh2_poll. I think either the documentation should mention that libssh2_poll differs from poll(2) in this way, or a -1 timeout should be supported as meaning wait indefinitely. Currently, if you look in libssh2_poll code, it performs arithmetic on timeout_remaining without first checking to see if it's negative. I can submit a patch to make libssh2_poll support -1 like poll(2) if you'd like. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Daniel Stenberg (bagder) Date: 2008-01-02 15:46 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1110 Originator: NO That'd be great! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=703942&aid=1860989&group_id=125852 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
