done if the sys/poll.h file is missing, as we have seen machines with poll()
present but without the header file and machines that don't get HAVE_POLL
defined but that do have the sys/poll.h header file...
to find that it crashed miserably, and this was due to some select()isms left
in the code. This was due to API restrictions in c-ares 1.3.x, but with the
upcoming c-ares 1.4.0 this is no longer the case so now libcurl runs much
better with c-ares and the multi interface with > 1024 file descriptors in
use.
function that deprecates the curl_multi_socket() function. Using the new
function the application tell libcurl what action that was found in the
socket that it passes in. This gives a significant performance boost as it
allows libcurl to avoid a call to poll()/select() for every call to
curl_multi_socket*().
Curl_poll() which is called whenever not a single valid file descriptor is
passed to these functions.
Improve readibility using a poll() macro to replace WSApoll().
