[Mono-devel-list] Socket Send/ReceiveTimeouts

[Aleksey Demakov]

Hi,

I'm sorry, is it correct that this code closes the socket
on send or receive timeout? If so I don't think that's
right. I believe that on systems that do support setting of
SO_RCVTIMEO and SO_SNDTIMEO the way to go is obviously to
employ these options. On systems that do not support these
I would call select or poll with appropriate timeout just
before send/recv.

Additionally, although I didn't analyze the code carefully
enough, it looks like it might be a subject to race conditions.

Regards,
Aleksey
