I'm thinking of something like;
int WaitOnLatchSet(LatchEventSet *set, int wakeEvents, long timeout);
int
WaitLatchOrSocket(volatile Latch *latch, int wakeEvents, pgsocket sock,long timeout)
{ LatchEventSet set;
LatchEventSetInit(&set, latch);
if (sock != PGINVALID_SOCKET) LatchEventSetAddSock(&set, sock);
return WaitOnLatchSet(set, wakeEvents, timeout);
}
I think we'll need to continue having wakeEvents and timeout parameters
for WaitOnLatchSet, we quite frequently want to wait socket
readability/writability, not wait on the socket, or have/not have
timeouts.
