If you mean my patch it is of course rock solid(tm) ... Well at least
it works for me. :-)
I has not been through any kind of formal testing but a have run a
large number
of stress tests and tested a very large distributed application with
it ...
For the other poll extensions:
1) Solaris /dev/poll was introduces as a patch for Solaris 7 and is
official since
Solarais 8.
2) /dev/epoll is still being developed by Davide. I will most likely
change somewhat
with more ioctl. It is unlikely that the semantics of EP_POLL will
change.
3) I don't have FreeBSD running anywhere and deliberately skipped
this.
