Very true and if they want their applications to work well they should write they applications correctly!
- Dylan16807 5y agoThe best way to help them write applications correctly is not to say "all syscalls are blocking, none are nonblocking, no other categories".
- CyberRabbi 5y agoThere are categories, some system calls block on timers, some block on disk io, some block on network io. But they all block, except for gettimeofday() and friends.
- Dylan16807 5y agoI mean I wouldn't say gettimeofday is significantly better than getpid because your thread might switch out anyway. But sure five categories is fine, I just dislike lumping almost everything together.
