Yesterday I published the first version of [[ceofhack|software/ceofhack]],
|
||
|
|
the p2p onion routing chat program.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
With this version other developers can begin to implement their own fancy
|
||
|
|
stuff to be used in the EOF network. For instance, it is possible to
|
||
|
|
create transport protocols that (mis-)use DNS, HTTP, SMTP, ...
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Before the release we had a testing night at the
|
||
|
|
[Chaosdock](http://www.ccczh.ch/Events/Chaosdock/2009/), which revealed
|
||
|
|
something quite interesting:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Mac OS X does not have a proper poll implementation.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The poll() call on Mac OS X lead to an infinite loop, setting revents to
|
||
|
|
***POLLNVAL*** on a file deskriptor used for reading.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But there is a [poll emulation routine](http://www.clapper.org/software/poll/)
|
||
|
|
available.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
(This issue was reported and debugged by ballessay.)
