Hi Bastien,

> I want to assess the safety and portability of the following trick,

I would want to help you with this, but I can't. You have not stated:
  - What is this code supposed to do?
  - Why is it a "trick"? What advantages does it have compared to the code
    a naïve developer would write?

> for getting outside poll.

I don't understand what you mean here.

Bruno
