Looks good. I think Peter Portante tested something similar, and found no big
difference between the two. But it's a good thing and, in my opinion, for
non-timerfd OSes we should simply adjust the select() timeout and not bother
with signals.
I'm not sure if the same can be done for Windows, but I think it's possible as
long
as you keep the timeBeginPeriod/timeEndPeriod calls. As a start, Stefan, can
you
check if the win32 timer works for you with the calls added? Like this:
