[zeromq-dev] Returning EINTR on interrupted non-blocking calls

[Martin Sustrik]

Matias,

I've implemented the EINTR thing, however, it turns out that it won't be 
of much help in multithreaded environment - the signal is delivered to a 
single thread, leaving other threads blocked in the blocking call :(

I'm not checking it in as it doesn't seem to be useful.

I think it's a good idea. Much cleaner.

Thanks,
Matias.

best way to handle this kind of thing is to break non-blocking calls 
(send, recv, poll) when signal arrives the same way that POSIX sockets 
do, i.e. to return EINTR error code. That way you'd be able to check 
whenther Ctrl+C have arrived and terminate your application neatly.
