The Windows port of Emacs already has its own implementation of select, to handle selecting between file handles (mainly for asynchronous process support). So it is not as simple as "use select()", since the native WIndows select() only works with sockets. The existing Emacs implementation of select() needs to be modified to work with sockets too.Hello, This is specific to the windows port of GNU Emacs implementation. In the file "emacs/src/w32.c", it has been mentioned that implementation of select() in TODO (for sockets and pipes). I was just learning some windows sockets programming and found imporved performance in using select(). Are there any known side-effects in migrating GNU Emacs to use "select()" which is preventing the implementation change?
