Re: [libmicrohttpd] running in main thread

You can also use very portable and universal solution:

 

 

 mhd = MHD_start_daemon(MHD_USE_AUTO, ....

 

while(1)

{

 fd_set rs;

 fd_set ws;

 fd_set es;

 MHD_socket maxsock;

  struct timeval tv;

  struct timeval* tvp;

 unsigned long long tov;

 

  FD_ZERO (&rs);

  FD_ZERO (&ws);

  FD_ZERO (&es);

 maxsock = MHD_INVALID_SOCKET;

 

  if (MHD_NO == MHD_get_fdset (d, &rs, &ws, &es, &maxsock))

    break;

  if (MHD_NO == MHD_get_timeout(mhd, &tov))

    tvp = NULL;

 else

  {

    tv.tv_sec = tov / 1000;

    tv.tv_usec = (tov % 1000) * 1000;

    tvp = &tvp;

 }

 

 select (maxsock+ 1, &rs, &ws, &es, tvp);

 

 if (MHD_NO == MHD_run_from_select (d, &rs, &ws, &es)

    break;

}

 

 

Untested.

Add error checking and types casting.

 I know it is trivial (my implementation below) but I advocate to offer

 get_daemon_info (is working for windows???)

AFAIK on the Windows Subsystem for Linux it should work, and everything
else is a mess to do in a portable way. Regardless, these loops are
usually pretty simple, hence I do still think that they don't belong
into the library. What we could do is at sample loops into the
documentation (tutorial?).
