Hi, On Windows the native function WaitForMultipleObjects may be used to wait on multiple sockets concurrently. This function can deal with at most 64 objects/sockets/files per thread. If you want to listen on more sockets concurrently, you have got to cascade some threads for it. I dont know the internals of mingw, but that might explain the magic value of 63 (plus one internal socket probably).
http://tangentsoft.net/wskfaq/advanced.html To get around this limitation on Windows, one should use the "select" command implementation (winsock) instead, which is not limited to 64 sockets, but on the other side can not deal with thread handles, semaphores and file handles as one could do with the function WaitForMultipleObjects. The value of FD_SETSIZE does not affect the upper limit of |WaitForMultipleObjects()| (|a||lias ||WSAEventSelect()). Could it be that your application is using | |WaitForMultipleObjects() or ||WSAEventSelect(). Could you modify your application to use the "select" command instead? |//Frank On 14.02.2014 18:28, Charles Remes wrote: > I received a bug report from a user who compiled zeromq 4.0.3 on Windows > using 32-bit mingw.
