Re: libldap poll(2) use

[Raphaël Ouazana-Sustowski <raphael.ouazana@linagora.com>]

Hi,

I know it is not directly related, but I recently used
OPENLDAP_FD_SETSIZE and it seemed to work well (at least for slapd, I
didn't try for libldap).
But since release 2.2.15 it has been removed. Can someone explain me why?

Sincerely yours,
Raphael Ouazana.
