Hi all,
I'm going through the zactor class to understand it better. I'm slightly
confused by the destroy sequence:
At line 182 of zactor.c:
// Signal the actor to end and wait for the thread exit code
// If the pipe isn't connected any longer, assume child thread
// has already quit due to other reasons and don't collect the
// exit signal.
zsock_set_sndtimeo (self->pipe, 0);
if (zstr_send (self->pipe, "$TERM") == 0)
zsock_wait (self->pipe);
zsock_destroy (&self->pipe);
So when destroy is called the actor method will receive the $TERM
command. The destroy sequence waits for a signal from the actor command.
But why the == 0. Doesn't that mean that the zstr_send send 0 bytes thus
failed sending?
Then the echo_actor example just sets: (line 268)
terminated = true;
It nevers signals back.
It does work that's why I'm confused about what's happening.
Can anybody turn the light on? :)
Rg,
Arnaud
