When doing cross-platform network programming, the only API available on Windows that corresponds to the epoll/kevent style reactor event model is select. However, it has a limitation: the number of sockets passed into select cannot exceed FD_SETSIZE, which is set to 64.Therefore, select in Java’s NIO on Windows also has the same limit. Many services ported to Windows that use the reactor model face this constraint, which often gives the impression that server programs on Windows have weaker performance.This limit is clearly insufficient for developing a high-concurrency server. So,...

In Go language, select is a keyword used to listen to and perform IO operations related to channels.With the select statement, we can simultaneously listen to multiple channels and perform corresponding operations when any of the channels are ready.This article will summarize the common uses of the select statement and provide some considerations when using it.Basic syntaxThe basic syntax of the select statement is as follows:select {case <-channel1: // when channel1 has data to processcase data := <-channel2: // when channel2 has data to processdefault: // if no channel has dat...
