Fraser Adams created PROTON-569: ----------------------------------- 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. See also https://github.com/kripken/emscripten/issues/2313 Simply doing m->ctrl[0] = -1; m->ctrl[1] = -1; before pn_pipe(m->io, m->ctrl); Makes things behave as expected. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
