select/poll with timeout does not block #25759
Description
I noticed a high CPU usage for the WASM port of our product and traced it to an infinite select() loop in boost::asio sockets, see socket_ops.ipp, because the syscall does not use the timeout. We're using the default emulated TCP over web sockets implementation. select() is called on a PThread.
I wonder: why is this? It seems that emscripten_proxy_sync should be able to block just fine on a worker PThread.
Are there any plans to support blocking? How would you guys recommend solving this? Is the only option to use the WebSockets API directly instead? Should Boost fix this for the Emscripten case (they have more Emscripten-specific code blocks)?
Related: #19447, but that's about full POSIX Sockets over a WebSocket proxy server.
