so every call to fdarray__poll will add whatever is
in stat_entries to entries? how is it removed?

I think you should either follow what Adrian said
and put 'static' descriptors early and check for
filter number to match it as an 'quick fix'

or we should fix it for real and make it generic

so currently the interface is like this:

  pos1 = fdarray__add(a, fd1 ... );
  pos2 = fdarray__add(a, fd2 ... );
  pos3 = fdarray__add(a, fd2 ... );

  fdarray__poll(a);

  num = fdarray__filter(a, revents, destructor, arg);

when fdarray__filter removes some of the fds the 'pos1,pos2,pos3'
indexes are not relevant anymore

how about we make the 'pos indexes' being stable by allocating
separate object for each added descriptor and each poll call
would create pollfd array from current objects, and entries
would keep pointer to its pollfd entry

  struct fdentry *entry {
       int              fd;
       int              events;
       struct pollfd   *pollfd;
  }

  entry1 = fdarray__add(a, fd1 ...);
  entry2 = fdarray__add(a, fd2 ...);
  entry3 = fdarray__add(a, fd3 ...);

  fdarray__poll(a);

  struct pollfd *fdarray__entry_pollfd(a, entry1);

or smoething like that ;-)
