-----------------------------------
Summary: Initialise pipe file descriptors to -1 in messenger prior
to calling pn_pipe
Key: PROTON-569
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PROTON-569
Project: Qpid Proton
Issue Type: Bug
Reporter: Fraser Adams
Priority: Minor
In messenger the pipe file descriptors are not initialised prior to the call to
pn_pipe. In most cases this isn't an issue as the call to pipe should do
something, however there is no check made for pn_pipe failing and indeed the
control pipe/interrupt stuff is essentially not an essential part of messenger
so that is reasonable. The issue I've seen though is for the JavaScript
bindings I'm working on, in emscripten the pipe call essentially does nothing
and just returns -1, the problem however is that the uninitialised pipe file
descriptors are zero, in other words m->ctrl[0] = 0, which is the
filedescriptor for stdin!!!
I kept on getting PN_INTR errors until I worked out what was going on.

Simply doing
m->ctrl[0] = -1;
m->ctrl[1] = -1;
before
pn_pipe(m->io, m->ctrl);
Makes things behave as expected.
