Re: [mosquitto-dev] Multithreading

I was just wondering about this recently for a different project. The 
Rust language has a library called "mio" (for Metal I/O) which is just a 
thin, low-level wrapper around epoll and it's related functionality on 
other platforms (kqueue and IOCP). So it creates a platform independent, 
high performance, asynchronous base for heavy I/O application.

So I was wondering if something like this were available in C/C++, and 
if not, would it be worth porting mio over. It's only about 8k lines of 
Rust.

I haven't even looked into if I can make this work with just 'poll'. I did avoid EPOLLONESHOT, EPOLLET and EPOLLEXCLUSIVE, so I hope it's doable.
