Non-blocking fhandler_socket_wsock::send_internal ?

[Ford, Brian]

Nevermind, I see in wait_for_events how it is supposed to work.  Sorry for the noise.  I'd be glad to hear any reasons you might expect a non-blocking UDP socket sendto to block for 50-100 ms though.  Thanks.

I'm trying to debug an application that occasionally takes an excessive amount of time in the sendto call of a non-blocking UDP socket and I noticed the following code that I didn't understand but looked slightly suspicious:
1423       while (res && (WSAGetLastError () == WSAEWOULDBLOCK)
1424              && !(res = wait_for_events (FD_WRITE | FD_CLOSE, wait_flags)));

Could you explain why I shouldn't be concerned about a non-blocking socket apparently calling a function labeled wait_for_events before returning :-)?

Thank you for your time!
