[PATCH] epoll_wait.2: Glibc doesn't provide epoll_pwait2() yet

Hi all,

As far as I can tell, glibc doesn't yet provide the wrapper function for
epoll_pwait2(), does it?
So let's add a reminder to check if glibc provides the wrapper in the future.

Cheers,

Alex

Not yet, AFAICT.

Perhaps we could do one better. Raise a glibc bug requesting support,
and add the URL of that bug in the FIXME :-).

Cheers,

[PATCH v2] epoll_wait.2: Glibc doesn't provide epoll_pwait2() yet

[Alejandro Colomar]

I filed a bug against glibc
requesting the wrapper for the new syscall.

Glibc bug: <https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27359>

Hi Michael,

Yes, filing a bug is one better :-).

Cheers,

Alex
