Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-11-19 02:06:51] paj...@php.net It will be available when committed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-11-19 01:37:47] tyra3l at gmail dot com can I access that implementation from userspace right now? if there is a way, then it's fine for me as is, but I wouldn't dare to change the current implementation of those functions. so maybe the best would be to add new userspace functions for the async behaviour. Tyrael ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-11-19 01:07:41] paj...@php.net We have an implementation, only a matter of using it instead of get*. I have some patch for that, adding some features for the DNS APIs. It should be easy to modify this function while being at it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-11-19 00:53:25] tyra3l at gmail dot com maybe we could use some non-blocking dns library? http://c-ares.haxx.se/ Tyrael ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-11-19 00:05:31] paj...@php.net For the record, it is not possible to do it in PHP. These functions are implemented by the operating systems. Without creating a thread for the get* hosts, we won't have any control on the timeout. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
