Description Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2009-06-15 19:37:17 UTC 
a bunch of the gsocket calls when done in blocking mode make a call to g_socket_condition_wait().  A NULL is passed for cancellable here.  Why not take a cancellable from the user and pass that through?

g_socket_accept
g_socket_connect
g_socket_receive
g_socket_send
g_socket_receive_from
g_socket_send_to
g_socket_receive_message
g_socket_send_message
Comment 1 Alexander Larsson 2009-06-24 07:52:34 UTC 
GSocket is the lowlevel API, its meant to mirror more or less exactly how socket works, anything that wants cancellable stuff is gonna have to use nonblocking mode itself. I don't think it makes sense to add "highlevel" stuff to the lowlevel APIs like this.
