| |
Hi,
Is there a reason for __FD_SETSIZE to be 1024 in linux/posix_types.h and gnu/types.h ? Why can't we increase this number by default ?
Shouldn't it be set to the real limit of the kernel ? (And let applications define their own limit if there is a need for one ?)
PS The LKML faq remarks that increasing this can break select. Is this still an issue ? Under what conditions ?
Thanks in advance,
