No, I used select() in a thread running in primary mode, and
__real_select() in a thread running with the SCHED_OTHER policy, so most
of the time in secondary mode. Every time __real_select returned an
event for a plain Linux file descriptor which was relevant for the
thread running in primary mode, a message was sent to it through a posix
message queue, which descriptor was included in the set of file
descriptors passed to the select() call.
The XDDP socket would be used the other way around: to wake up the
thread blocked in __real_select and inform it of some event detected by
the thread running in primary mode, but I never had to implement that.
I never tried to hide this behaviour behind a higher level "select", as
I wanted the thread calling the select() service to stay in primary
mode, and processing some events on linux file descriptors required
services to be run in secondary mode, so, the two loops had to be kept
separate, and I believe in fact it is always the case.
