Hi!
Is there any way to make Gambit's scheduler trig an event when there is activity on external file descriptors, for instance as provided by curl_multi_fdset ( http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/curl_multi_fdset.html ) of libCurl multi ( http://curl.haxx.se/libcurl/c/libcurl-multi.html )?
The question was raised in 2004 ( https://webmail.iro.umontreal.ca/pipermail/gambit-list/2004-November/000023....), at that time without answer.
What is the current answer to this question, is there any elegant way to have Gambit monitor a set of external file descriptors, and trig an event handler on event?
I guess it was just missing setting the fd to nonblocking? See |fd->port| and |fd-nonblock-set!| in http://scheme.mine.nu/gambit/scratch/cj-posix/2006-12-06/cj-posix.scm
