@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeFish shell developer?17:47:01
@ihar.hrachyshka:matrix.orgIhar HrachyshkaI was actually also looking at the same struct def. so looks like we may need to also define the __DARWIN_FD_SETSIZE otherwise we write past the end of the struct (I think)17:47:57
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeOr malloc it based on the size of the incoming set.17:49:12
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeGlib supports using cleanup functions to make that less messy.17:49:27
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode Though if it’s a mask for all fds, you don’t really know the needed size. 17:50:00

@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode Apple mentioned FreeBSD being unlimited. I agree we should probably increase the amount of memory it’s using (either by defining FD_SETSIZE or some other way). 17:53:19
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy Eckenrode

Looks like (unsurprisingly) FreeBSD has a similar implementation.

https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/f51e9d0e0988df58c94db586ab5c8b5fd091c004/sys/sys/select.h#L65

17:55:17
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeI guess FreeBSD doesn’t enforce the limit if you define it to something non-default.17:55:46
@ihar.hrachyshka:matrix.orgIhar Hrachyshkaso darwin just broke the api to pass posix17:56:22
@ihar.hrachyshka:matrix.orgIhar Hrachyshkawell, broke -> adjusted to standard17:56:33
@hexa:lossy.networkhexa Randy Eckenrode, emily any reason I should not update the darwin buildfarm to tahoe? 21:45:40
@-chi:matrix.org-chi left the room.21:48:15
@reckenrode:matrix.orgRandy EckenrodeNot that I can think of. It hasn’t broken Nix or Nixpkgs like updates have in the past.21:48:50
