Yep, it's bogus allright. I wouldn't be suprised if this problem exists on
other OSes though... here is the offending code from
/usr/include/sys/poll.h...
#ifdef __64BIT__
/* pollfd.fd is always a 32 bit entity (XOPEN) */
struct pollfd
{
int fd; /* file descriptor or file ptr */
short events; /* requested events */
short revents; /* returned events */
};
#else /* __64BIT__ */
struct pollfd
{
long fd; /* file descriptor or file ptr */
ushort reqevents; /* requested events */
ushort rtnevents; /* returned events */
};
#define events reqevents /* SVR3,4 pollfd member name */
#define revents rtnevents /* SVR3,4 pollfd member name */
#endif /* __64BIT__ */
The comments beside the #defines are telling...
