From: Junio C Hamano Date: Mon, 19 Dec 2005 10:07:27 GMT Subject: EAGAIN? Message-ID: <7vhd95h02o.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net> I am embarrassed to ask this in public, but anyway. I was looking at "git grep -n EAGAIN" output and found that many places check "errno == EAGAIN" without checking "errno == EINTR", both for read(2) and write(2). I feel that EAGAIN is probably not that useful (it probably would not hurt us, though) because we do not set up nonblocking ourselves, but I am wondering if there is particular reason to only check EAGAIN but not EINTR, or if they are just cut and paste errors. apply.c:: read checks EAGAIN only, write checks both. cat-file.c: write checks EAGAIN only. copy.c:: read checks EAGAIN only, write checks both. mktag.c:: read checks EAGAIN only. pkt-line.c:: both read and write checks both. tar-tree.c:: write checks EAGAIN only. unpack-objects.c:: both read and write checks both.
