2020-09-15 | prepare transition to poll() | rofl0r | |
usage of select() is inefficient (because a huge fd_set array has to be initialized on each call) and insecure (because an fd >= FD_SETSIZE will cause out-of-bounds accesses using the FD_*SET macros, and a system can be set up to allow more than that number of fds using ulimit). for the moment we prepared a poll-like wrapper that still runs select() to test for regressions, and so we have fallback code for systems without poll(). |
