I happened to have a select() call with 2 input fds and had occasional crashes to my program. The culprit was that overall the program had many open fds and this particular code although it was using 2 fds, they often happened to be over 1024. Note that this is not really about your example. I just wanted to rant about it :) After my experience I've already convinced the manpages maintainer to add a strong language against select() early in the man page. >> You could further simplify the example by using >> gnutls_certificate_verification_status_print() instead of checking >> statuses manually (that would introduce dependency to gnutls over >> 3.1.4, but it is future proof with regards to message reporting). > Again I agree, but I wanted this to compile on LTS Ubuntu > (currently 14.04) which ships with 2.12.23-12ubuntu2.4 (unfortunately). ouch. regards, Nikos _______________________________________________ Gnutls-help mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnutls-help
