I expect that Docker already checks for EINTR where required, so there shouldn't be much effect at all. Note that checking for EINTR was always required; what is new in 1.14 is that failing to check for EINTR is more likely to appear as a problem. But please do let us know if Docker doesn't work well with 1.14. Ian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
