Thank you for the response.
I think this is better.
One another point about select() function, I think that they are same
behavior between the fifth argument is NULL and 0(i.g. 0 sec).
so I think that it's better to change the CopyStreamPoll() as followings.
@@ -1043,7 +1043,7 @@ CopyStreamPoll(PGconn *conn, long timeout_ms)
FD_ZERO(&input_mask);
FD_SET(PQsocket(conn), &input_mask);
- if (timeout_ms < 0)
+ if (timeout_ms <= 0)
timeoutptr = NULL;
else
{
Please give me feed back.
