Solved A problem with accept and kevent

[Харбин Хэйлунцзян]

Is there a regular way to interrupt a blocking call to accept? I've tried closing the listening socket on a different thread but accept continues waiting. Furthemore it accepts the first connection and only fails on the second.

The same with a blocking call to kevent. It fails only on the second event after closing the queue. How am I expected to break the vicious loop in the example on this page:

kqueue(2)?

I managed to achieve what I needed.
Thank you.

The problem is described in my original posting . To solve it I register a USER event (EVFILT_USER) and trigger it when I need to wake the blocked kevent.
