It's possible that it'd work if you don't use that struct declaration, but then you're definitely outside the boundaries of what can be called portable code. So while you'll probably want an authoritative opinion from a glibc maintainer, I'd venture that overriding FD_SETSIZE is a nonportable BSD-ism. I think the reason this hasn't been complained of too much is that it's generally better to use poll(2) instead of select(2) if your program can have a lot of file descriptors open. Have the Zarafa developers considered offering a poll()-based option? regards, tom lane -- packaging mailing list packaging@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/packaging
