Q: Since registerFd uses OneShot and threadWait uses registerFd, basic IO functions use OneShot by default. No changes from GHC 7.8.3. Do I understand correctly?
That is the idea. That being said adding another variant of registerFd (which as far as I know has three users) for backwards compatibility seems a bit silly. If we decided to punt on this patch until 7.10 I'd say we should just change the interface of registerFd. If we are going to put it in 7.8.4, however, then this isn't as clear.
Understood. Thanks.
Q: dbus library will use registerFd' to specify MultiShot, right?
I'm not sure about dbus but this is how usb will use it, yes. Does dbus also use the event manager directly?
Never mind. I meant usb, not dbus. --Kazu
