Hello, I found a multi-thread issue in the way I used the lists in pcsc-lite 2.0.0 beta. The problem is fixed in the latest version available at [1]. If you experienced crashes or problems with the previous beta please try again with the new one.
I as also created two unitary tests [2, 3]. You may want to play with them. Bye 2010/2/10 Ludovic Rousseau <[email protected]>: > I uploaded to [1] new versions of pcsc-lite and libccid. They have > many and important changes (in particular for pcsc-lite). I would like > to test these versions before I release them as stable. They work for > me and should work for you too. > > I will not detail any specific change here but do not hesitate to ask > more for information. > > Regards > > Changes for pcsc-lite: > pcsc-lite-2.0.0 BETA: Ludovic Rousseau > 10 Feb 2010 > - redesign the client/server communication: > * no more shared memory used (allow pcscd and libpcsclite1.so to be on > different computer and talk over a network) > * no more difference between short and extended APDU > * no more use of a /var/run/pcscd/pcscd.events/ directory. events are > sent through the socket > * simpler command format between client and server > The side effect is that you are not able to mix an old pcscd with a > new libpcsclite1.so or the reverse. SCardEstablishContext() will fail > unless you update both sides of the communication. > - Use lists instead of fixed size arrays to store handles. > It is now possible to have: > - 200 simultaneous PC/SC clients instead of 16 > - 200 SCardConnect per client instead of 16 > - 200 clients per reader instead of 16 > The default value of 200 can be changed by giving an argument to pcscd > --max-thread --max-card-handle-per-thread --max-card-handle-per-reader > Thanks to Jean-Luc Giraud for the big patch > - Make SCardReconnect(), SCardStatus() and SCardTransmit() block instead > of returning SCARD_E_SHARING_VIOLATION immediately. These functions > will then behave like on Windows. > This can happen if these functions are called when the reader is > locked by a PCSC transaction > (SCardBeginTransaction/SCardEndTransaction). > You can define the environment variable PCSCLITE_NO_BLOCKING to use > the old behavior. > Thanks to Jean-Luc Giraud for the patch. > http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/dev/muscle/2010-q1/0041.html > - SCardEstablishContext(): try to start the pcscd daemon if not already > running. > . pcscd will suicide itself after 60 seconds of inactivity if it is > started using --auto-exit.

Use the special reader name "\\?PnP?\Notification" to wait for a > reader event notification > - SCardTransmit(): do not limit the minimum size of an APDU to 4 bytes. > non ISO 7816-4 compliant cards (like Mifare DESFIRE) may use shorter > commands > - SCardStatus(): returns SCARD_E_SHARING_VIOLATION if the reader is > already used More conform to Windows > - PCSC/reader.h: update sruct PIN_PROPERTIES_STRUCTURE to be conform > with Revision 2.02.06, April 2009 of PCSCv2 part 10 Fields > wLcdMaxCharacters and wLcdMaxLines have been removed > . rename FEATURE_MCT_READERDIRECT in FEATURE_MCT_READER_DIRECT to be > conform with ch. 2.3 of PCSC v2 part 10 > - SCardControl() return SCARD_E_UNSUPPORTED_FEATURE if the driver > returned IFD_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED or IFD_NOT_SUPPORTED This is used to > separate an unsupported value of ControlCode from a general error > - Use the standard --sysconfdir=DIR ($prefix/etc by default) instead of > --enable-confdir=DIR for defining the directory containing reader.conf > - remove SCF support (PC/SC over Smart Card Framework).
