I talked to a coworker yesterday who said he once had a test program
that worked with poll() but bombed
with select. After OS upgrades, neither works. Of course, his program
polled for GSN events. (I found a GSN link
at http://www.sgi.com/peripherals/networking/gsn_overview.html .) We
implement a poll with
the timeval structure set to zero in the select call, but we do this on
solaris and Cray as
well. (Of course Cray doesn't even support a poll - at least I couldn't
find a man page.)
Anyway, I don't have a good answer to your first
question. If I get the chance, I'll play with poll and see if I can
figure out why it's breaking.
BTW, has anyone used Event.pm on the Cray platform?
I think the #define is __sgi (note the two underscores). I'll double
check at work tonight.
