Thanks for replying... I saw your earlier posts about the subject. Before I say yes, might you tell me what limitations there are in Cygwin that would make this terribly difficult?
Also, what do folks do with code that requires the header? Just rewrite their code?

I assume they do what everybody has to do when porting applications
between platforms. Use what's available on the new platform. That's
the idea behind autoconf and friends, for instance.

OK...learning. ;-[)
My reason for asking these questions is because some of the digging I did suggested there were other things not yet implemented that would make it near impossible to do this (something about pthreads). What I am hearing now is that this not the case (anymore). I will look at the links you provided.
Thanks,
Mike

LOL, great typo there. The blanking people's addresses thing you've got
right, but only half the TOFU thing - you've stopped the TO, but you're still
doing the FUll quote of the entire message you're replying to without any
trimming, including all those useless trailers etc.

Should be fairly straightforward to implement, as windows I/O functions
support asynchronous operations (called "overlapped" in msdn technology). You
shouldn't need to modify anything except the cygwin dll sources to add the
functions.
See
http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.programming.html#faq.programming.building-cygwin for
some guidelines on how to build the cygwin dll from source. When adding new
functions to the DLL, you also need to list them in the "cygwin.din" file -
that defines which functions get exported and which don't.

What ever. I really wanted to talk about AIO. Guess I have to get spanked and treated as a newbie for a while. I do believe I have adressed the TOFU thing and that other thing that is too loon to remember.
Now, has anybody else thought about this, got some historical info, etc? Anybody else interested in it?

I assume they do what everybody has to do when porting applications

Crud, I replied wrong. Hoping I got the email issues handled.
I was wondering if other packages would need to be modified when implementing AIO...my guess is yes. I woill download kernel sources and take a look.

Am I doing better now? ;-) I think I made all the adjustments that you suggested.
What I was wondering was if there might be changes to other packages when trying to impliment AIO... my guess is yes.

AIO is not on anybodies agenda AFAIK. It's certainly not on mine. If
you want to help out, see http://cygwin.com/contrib.html

New here, but I did review archives for info regarding AIO and aio.h. Not sure I am getting the full story. Will Cygwin ever support this? (have an aio.h header)?
Are there work arounds, patches, packages that can help?
I found asio, but not sure that does anything (no aio_xxx functions, etc).
