Hi All,
The following code sets up a UNIX domain socket server
<http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Programming_Languages/Perl/Q_22001649.html#>
and connects to that server in a different thread. I found the following
code using threads to block forever - ist blocks exactly at the connect
/ accept calls:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use threads;
use Socket;
unlink ("/tmp/mysock");
$t=threads->create("con_thread");
socket (SOCK1,PF_UNIX,SOCK_STREAM,0) or die "socket(): $!";
bind (SOCK1, sockaddr_un("/tmp/mysock")) or die "bind(): $!";
listen(SOCK1,SOMAXCONN) or die "listen(): $!";
accept (CLIENT,SOCK1);
$t->join();
sub con_thread {
sleep(2);
socket(SOCK2, PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0) or die "socket(): $!";
connect(SOCK2, sockaddr_un("/tmp/mysock")) or die "connect(): $!";
}
Whereas the same code will not block using fork():
#!/usr/bin/perl
use threads;
use Socket;
unlink ("/tmp/mysock");
if (fork) {con_thread();exit;}
socket (SOCK1,PF_UNIX,SOCK_STREAM,0) or die "socket(): $!";
bind (SOCK1, sockaddr_un("/tmp/mysock")) or die "bind(): $!";
listen(SOCK1,SOMAXCONN) or die "listen(): $!";
accept (CLIENT,SOCK1);
sub con_thread {
sleep(2);
socket(SOCK2, PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0) or die "socket(): $!";
connect(SOCK2, sockaddr_un("/tmp/mysock")) or die "connect(): $!";
}
Does anybody have any idea why?? Is there a workaround?
BTW: Im using Perl v5.8.7 built for cygwin-thread-multi-64int
Greets, Sebastian
