It seems really odd to me that the draft 10 standard list of cancel
points doesn't include a single network/socket operation.
That seems very wrong. Why would you make "read" a cancel point, but
not "recv" or "recvmsg". Things like "accept" and "connect" are also
excluded.
Admittedly, I don't have the whole spec, just certain sections.
So, am I missing something, or does the spec specifically ignore socket
operations?
