Hey, I just wanted to ask about the state of ASIO on Solaris. Looking at the docs, the library claims to use select() to check for events. May I suggest that you consider using /dev/poll? Starting with Solaris 10, there is also a new event completion framework. Thanks, Tom

Yep, both of those are on my to-do list, but it might be several versions before I get to them. As /dev/poll is also available on older versions of Solaris, that's the one I intend to support first. I believe that a /dev/poll reactor implementation would be very similar to the existing epoll_reactor, so that could be used as a starting point. If you, or someone else, would be willing to contribute an implementation, it will be gratefully accepted. Cheers, Chris

Chris, I am waiting to clear these things with our legal department, as the firm has IP rights to all my work. While I have been reading/indirecly participating on this list for a while, until now I've avoided making contributions because of the above reason. I have some library ideas of my own, too, but like I said, I can't do anything at this point. Thanks for understanding. Tom
