[zeromq-dev] zeromq Windows handle leak?

2012-12-25 Thread KIU Shueng Chuan

You are right, someone pointed out the CreateEvent leak in make_fdpair() in November but there were no follow ups. http://lists.zeromq.org/pipermail/zeromq-dev/2012-November/019515.html On Dec 26, 2012 12:05 AM, Ian Barber ian.bar...@gmail.com wrote: Actually, I recall a thread previously
