I would be actually quite curious to know the rationale of choosing
select()
over epoll() these days.
epoll() scales like O(1) with the number of file descriptors, it is
very
performant, stable, and has no limitation on the overall number of fds
on
linux (except for your /proc and ulimit -n settings). I'd use epoll
reactor,
unless you have some very specialized requirement.
Short answer: because select() is always available.
Longer answer: Looks like maybe you want to contribute a patch for this
ticket :)
