[zeromq-dev] zmq_poll return value and C-CTRL interrupts

[Stathis Gkotsis]

Hi,

"Upon failure, zmq_poll() shall return -1 and set errno to one of the values defined below", so you should check errno.

BR,

Subject: [zeromq-dev] zmq_poll return value and C-CTRL interrupts

Hi
I am using zeromq 3.2.2 on linux ubuntu 12.04.
I am confused about the behavior of zmq_poll when getting a ctrl-c.

The guide says:
If your code is blocking in zmq_msg_recv()<http://api.zeromq.org/3-2:zmq_msg_recv>, zmq_poll()<http://api.zeromq.org/3-2:zmq_poll>, or zmq_msg_send()<http://api.zeromq.org/3-2:zmq_msg_send>, when a signal arrives, the call will return with EINTR.

EINTR is defined as 4 , but when I interrupt the zmq_poll , I get -1 as return value.
Am I missing something ?
The code is below. I get :

start poll
^Cfinished poll with -1
start poll
^Cfinished poll with -1
each time I press CTRL-C. I am not sending anything to this socket during this test.
Thanks for your thoughts.
