Hi,
send() allows you to specify MSG_NOSIGNAL in the flags parameter
which will suppress the SIGPIPE signal. The library can detect this
error when send() returns -1 and errno is set to EPIPE, and flag the
server as down. We use this in pecl/memcache and it seems to work
fine.
What do you do on platforms that doesn't support MSG_NOSIGNAL? If the
user of libmemcached doesn't have support for MSG_NOSIGNAL on his
platform he must handle the signal, and I don't like the situation
where the default behavior libmemcached would cause a program abort on
machine A while work perfectly on machine B if a client node goes
down...
Just my 0.5 NOK.
