https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/libosmocore/+/20732/2/src/select.c 
File src/select.c:

https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/libosmocore/+/20732/2/src/select.c@291 
PS2, Line 291: OSMO_ASSERT
I am also worried about this line. Do we really want to assert() on each iteration?
Shouldn't the API responsible for registering new fds ensure that?


https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/libosmocore/+/20732/2/src/select.c@305 
PS2, Line 305: 			p->events |= POLLOUT;
> |= POLLERR ?
>From `man poll`:

POLLERR   An error has occurred on the device or stream. This flag is only valid in the revents bitmask; it shall be ignored in the events member.

so I think the current approach is correct.


https://gerrit.osmocom.org/c/libosmocore/+/20732/2/src/select.c@363 
PS2, Line 363: 	rc = poll(g_poll.poll, n_poll, polling ? 0 : osmo_timers_nearest_ms());
> Please let's keep both implementations around and decide at compile time which to use. […]
I agree with Pau here. Also, having the ability to choose the right implementation at compile time would be nice. Especially for embedded targets like osmosom-bb, where it's a good question how well would poll() perform compared to the old good select() in terms of performance.
