What's the goal? We can certainly abstract socket event IO, with
poll() as a fallback. But some of the interfaces you mentioned here
can handle waiting on other things, e.g. signals. Is this what you
want?
At the moment only as replacement for poll as kqueue or solaris
port_* are way more scalable.
There's a start at socket event IO in nsd/event.c. I didn't try
wrapping anything other than poll(). My main motivation was to create
a nice interface to clean up the main driver loop in nsd/driver.c, and
also to make something capable of handling the reader/writer stuff
that's in there, which is a little trickier due to the IO being spread
among more than one thread.
I have some patches for it somewhere. IIRC, the locking isn't
flexible enough...
But it's code that exists so you can hack on it if you think it's
suitable.
Basically that is what I thought. To get rid of the old-fashioned
poll as there are much better options today.
You'll be using Linux like every one else and it won't matter... :-)
Ah... lets see... In any case, this is interesting development.
