Yesterday we've looked at this with Olivier and it raised some questions between us regarding the nature of certain events that need to be reported upwards. Here the issue is related to the sequencing of the connect_server() call and the subscription to try to receive. If we do it the current way, we read from a non-existent mux and if we do it the other way around we'll lose connect events if there's no data to send. We have some plans for this that we're discussing today in front of the white board. Getting rid of ~15 years of accumulated hacks in the connection layers is amazingly difficult, and much more than what it looks like before trying to do it! I hope that today we'll have clear ideas about a very short-term workaround and how we want to address this situation from an architecture perspective. > p.s. should reg-tests maybe get run before the -dev releases get tagged? (or > is that already done, and this could be a FreeBSD specific issue and as such > not have been spotted?) It's my fault. Yes I'm supposed to run these tests. But after finally managed to collect all the long-awaited code a few minutes before I really had to leave, I was impatient to push it out so that we can all resync. And not having vtc anymore after I rebooted my PC (last time it was built in /dev/shm and I still didn't take the time to rebuild it) didn't give me enough motivation to add this extra task. The process will improve over time, we need it to become more natural and usual. You don't kill 18 years of bad habits in a few weeks! Just to be clear, spotting bugs at this moment will not prevent me from emitting a dev release, but at least I'll report them in the changelog so that nobody wastes their time ;-) Cheers, Willy
