Re: Options to replace select in Nsock

[Michael Pattrick <mpattrick () rhinovirus org>]

As a side note, the default limit of fd_set in windows is 64 according
to [0], Surprising that someone noticed an overflow on Linux before
Windows.

I was referring to something like this:

int numberOfSockets=2000;

fd_set *rfds;
struct timeval tv;
struct timeval dontStop;
int action = 0;
int i=0, k=0;
int selectorCount = ceil(numberOfSockets/FD_SETSIZE);

rfds = malloc(selectorCount);

for(i=0;i<selectorCount;i++){
 FD_ZERO(&rfds[i]);
}

for(i=0;i<numberOfSockets;i++){
 FD_SET(Socket[i], &rfds[floor(i/FD_SETSIZE)]);
}

/* Wait up to five seconds. */
tv.tv_sec = 5;
tv.tv_usec = 0;

dontStop.tv_sec = 0;
dontStop.tv_usec = 0;

while(1){
for(i=0;i<(selectorCount-1);i++){
 action = select(1, &rfds[i], NULL, NULL, &dontStop);
 if(action>0){
  actOnDescriptors(rfds[i])
  break;
 }
}
if(!action){
 action = select(1, &rfds[selectorCount-1], NULL, NULL, &tv);
 if(action){
  actOnDescriptors(rfds[selectorCount-1])
 }
}
}
