Hello,
Here is a simplified example that seems to exhibit the same behaviour,
unless I screwed up:
--->
module Main where
import System.Posix
import System.IO
import System.Exit
main =
do putStrLn "running..."
(stdinr, stdinw) <- createPipe
(stdoutr, stdoutw) <- createPipe
pid <- forkProcess $ do hw <- fdToHandle stdoutw
hr <- fdToHandle stdinr
closeFd stdinw
hGetContents hr >>= hPutStr hw
hClose hr
hClose hw
exitImmediately ExitSuccess
closeFd stdoutw
closeFd stdinw
hr2 <- fdToHandle stdoutr
hGetContents hr2 >>= putStr
getProcessStatus True False pid >>= print
<---
Compiling with:
ghc --make -no-recomp test3.hs -o test3 && ./test3
works. But compiling with:
ghc --make -no-recomp -threaded test3.hs -o test3 && ./test3
results in a hang. If you comment out the "hGetContents hr >>=" and
change 'hPutStr hw' to 'hPutStr hw "hi"', then it seems to work ok.
As you suggested, it seems that hGetContents is not ever seeing the
EOF when -threaded is enabled. I think it gets 'Resource temporarily
unavailable' instead. So, it keeps retrying.
Assuming I have recreated the same bug, we at least have a simpiler
test case now...
j.
