Since the performance of Cygwin fifos is orders of magnitude poorer than the equivalent Linux implementation, I've been trying to find an alternative to fifos in my Cygwin port.
One possibility is to use a combination of real time signals (which queue) and signalfd to provide a select()'able interface to those signals. Early test code on Linux shows promise. I did a quick check and it doesn't appear that Cygwin supports the signalfd (or eventfd) interface. Are there any plans to include this? If not what should I look at that Cygwin does support that could provide similar functionality? Thanks in advance for all your answers. bob -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
