I plan to do it asap since this is IMO our big chance to get it right. I want to have a unifying interface which can handle all the different events we need and which come up today and tomorrow. We have to be able to handle not only file descriptors and AIO but also timers, signals, message queues (OK, they are file descriptors but let's make it official), futexes. I'm probably missing the one or the other thing now.= DaveM says there are example programs for the current interfaces. I must admit I haven't seen those either. So if possible, point the world to them again. If you do that now I'll review everything and write up my recommendations re the interface before Monday. --=20 =E2=9E=A7 Ulrich Drepper =E2=9E=A7 Red Hat, Inc. =E2=9E=A7 444 Castro St = =E2=9E=A7 Mountain View, CA =E2=9D=96 --------------enigB6CCF8FAA9C5BFB78AA61CCC Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFE65dL2ijCOnn/RHQRAjIRAKDHerZO0nBJJh3Bsd0ic26r3ciVGwCfWnrG jcicCEsTBhBNN7acKknDxqY= =IhK5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigB6CCF8FAA9C5BFB78AA61CCC--
