Care to be more cryptic? Are trying to say that I should have anticipated the issue mentioned by the OP. Because if you do, that's complete bullshit. And if you don't, then I really can't fathom a "good" reason for you to suddenly decide to post about this issue (but more about this on my next e-mail). >> As a matter of fact, if I had not used an OS call to return an fd, and >> added my own custom implementation, I'm pretty you would have been the >> one to ask "Since you need an fd-like thingy, why don't use just use an >> OS call that returns an actual fd?" > > It's interesting how you put words in my mouth and try to make me > defend something I've never said. I'm simply applying logic here, starting with the consequence "Peter is asking a question about something that he should easily have been able to deduce - why is is the case?" and going from there to highlight your likely motivation, which appears to have little to do with getting enlightened about the inner workings of the Windows implementation, and more with a yet another attempt to find a flaw that you could exploit to "prove" a ready-made conclusion about the Windows backend being flawed that you seem to be desperate to back up. And with this reasoning further validated by your later post pooh-poohing the Windows effort, I really don't see much of an issue trying to expose your obvious disingenuity to the larger audience, because it has really become _exceedingly_ obvious to me. You should actually be thankful that I bothered replying with more than "Well, duh". > Do you have some ideas for skipping the fd-like thingy all together? You should have been able to infer from my previous reply that I see that a low importance and have no plan to look into it for now. Again, a question that you should have been able to figure out by yourself. Now, if you want to propose a patch, and provided that you are not banned from this list by then, please go ahead.
