global_init: assume the EINTR bit by default #4840
Closed
Conversation
This may cause some pain points for some distros. I think distros expect See, for example, Fedora Issue 919127, Provide a CURL_GLOBAL_ACK_EINTR flag to curl_global_init(). |

This change changes the default to not retrying on EINTR, which is exactly what that Fedora issue wanted... So the question is if there's anything that would be affected or even notice if those functions return earlier when aborted by a signal? |
- Removed from global_init since it isn't thread-safe. The symbol will still remain to not break compiles, it just won't have any effect going forward. - make the internals NOT loop on EINTR (the opposite from previously). It only risks returning from the select/poll/wait functions early, and that should be risk-free. Closes #4840
