IMHO, it would be really very useful. Unfortunately, without this feature,
we need to implement hard logic using select()/epoll() by hand in our
console applications.
In Rust and Pascal we generally call some locking function to stay
"running" application, in those cases, it would be nice to call something
like this:
static int my_awesome_callback(void *cls) {
return *application_terminated* ? MHD_YES : MHD_NO;
}
MHD_main_loop(my_awesome_callback, NULL);
so the MHD_main_loop() would hold the console application without exiting,
something like getchar() does. Many other C/Rust libraries implements this
loop, for example:
1. libsoup / C:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/libsoup/blob/master/examples/simple-httpd.c#L300
2. mongoose / C:
https://github.com/cesanta/mongoose/blob/master/examples/simplest_web_server/simplest_web_server.c#L33
3. warp / Rust:
https://github.com/seanmonstar/warp/blob/master/examples/hello.rs#L9
4. actix-web / Rust:
https://github.com/actix/actix-web/blob/master/examples/basic.rs#L46
This is a very appreciated feature in many other libraries/frameworks.
