[zeromq-dev] Potential bug in select

Hi,

I found the following 2 chunks of code suspecting:

- https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/blob/master/src/select.cpp#L110-L113 <https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/blob/master/src/select.cpp#L110-L113>
- https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/blob/master/src/select.cpp#L170-L173 <https://github.com/zeromq/libzmq/blob/master/src/select.cpp#L170-L173>

Why do we need to clear descriptos, if readfds/writefds/exceptfds are initialized with contents of source_set_* at each iteration of the loop?
It may lead to an error if set is modified _while_ there is an active select in another thread (I don't know if an instance of select_t can be used from multiple threads).
Other than that this code looks pointless.

What do you think?


Best Regards,
Ilya Kulakov
