[omniORB] question about blocking socket mode in omniORB-4.1.1

[Nikola Radovanovic]

Hi,
we have a question regarding blocking/non-blocking socket mode in 
omniORB-4.1.1:
in method giopActiveConnection* tcpAddress::Connect(unsigned long 
deadline_secs, unsigned long deadline_nanosecs, CORBA::ULong  
strand_flags) const (in tcpAddress.cc:299);
after connection is successfully established, connected socket is set to 
blocking mode by following piece of code:
    
    if (SocketSetblocking(sock) == RC_INVALID_SOCKET) {
        CLOSESOCKET(sock);
        return 0;
    }

Why is this done when select() is used in
int tcpConnection::Recv(void* buf, size_t sz, unsigned long 
deadline_secs, unsigned long deadline_nanosecs)        -    in 
tcpConnection.cc:283
int tcpConnection::Send(void* buf, size_t sz, unsigned long 
deadline_secs, unsigned long deadline_nanosecs)        -    in 
tcpConnection.cc:351



thanks for the replies
