It seems that in the latest 4.1.0RC (and I assume in the
4.2.0dev) this has been fixed. Omitting the last argument
and passing NULL for tv_sec provides the expected
behaviour, i.e. an indefinite blocking call...

I don't promise to fix this myself but assigned it so I don't forget about this ...

I've been working with the sockets extension for PHP
4.0.8-dev now for the past few days and I've noticed what
must be a bug in socket_select().
Basically, socket_select() takes two parameters for
timeout values in place of the single timeval struct that
the standard select() function takes. With the standard
select(), using a NULL instead of a timeout struct causes
select() to block indefinitely. The socket_select()
function in PHP doesn't have this capability, as calling
socket_select() with NULL in both sec and usec end up in
the timeval struct both as 0, setting the blocking timeout
on the system select() call in turn to 0.
A quick fix: if sec and usec are both less than 0, pass
NULL to the system select() call instead of a timeval
struct with 0s for tv_sec and tv_usec. This will cause the
desired effect of having socket_select() block
indefinitely, as in system select() function.
Unfortunately, at the same time, this creates an
incompatibility between socket_select() and system
select(), since socket_select() will no longer produce the
same results as calling select() with tv_sec = -1 and
tv_usec = -1, but I don't think that's much of a problem.
I won't bother posting a patch because this will take all
of 3 seconds to do. Here's my suggestion:
RETURN_LONG(select(max_fd+1, rfds ? &(rfds->set) : NULL,
wfds ? &(wfds->set) : NULL,
xfds ? &(xfds->set) : NULL,
((Z_LVAL_PP(arg4) < 0 && Z_LVAL_PP(arg5) <
0) ? NULL : &tv)));
I was raking my brain trying to figure out why I couldn't
do jack with socket_select(), and this seems to fix it.
Comments? Is it do-able?
