poll/select: prevent busy-waiting 2012-05-21 Paolo Bonzini <bonzini@gnu.org> poll/select: prevent busy-waiting. SwitchToThread() only gives away the rest of the current time slice to another thread in the current process. So if the thread that feeds the file decscriptor we're polling is not in the current process, we get busy-waiting. * lib/poll.c: Use SleepEx(1, TRUE) instead of SwitchToThread(). Patch from Theodore Leblond. * lib/select.c: Split polling out of the loop that sets the output fd_sets. Check for zero result and loop if the wait timeout is infinite.

  dnl Persuade glibc <string.h> to declare stpncpy().
  AC_REQUIRE([AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS])

  dnl The stpncpy() declaration in lib/string.in.h uses 'restrict'.
  AC_REQUIRE([AC_C_RESTRICT])

  AC_REQUIRE([gl_HEADER_STRING_H_DEFAULTS])

  dnl Both glibc and AIX (4.3.3, 5.1) have an stpncpy() function
  dnl declared in <string.h>. Its side effects are the same as those
  dnl of strncpy():
  dnl      stpncpy (dest, src, n)
  dnl overwrites dest[0..n-1], min(strlen(src),n) bytes coming from src,
  dnl and the remaining bytes being NULs.  However, the return value is
  dnl   in glibc:   dest + min(strlen(src),n)
  dnl   in AIX:     dest + max(0,n-1)
  dnl Only the glibc return value is useful in practice.
