Subject: compat send no SIGPIPE: multithread-safe
X-Git-Tag: v1.3.0~6
X-Git-Url: http://git.efficios.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;ds=inline;h=f73291f2dcea06f87920c647135c5079ab4dfd4a;hp=f73291f2dcea06f87920c647135c5079ab4dfd4a;p=babeltrace.git

compat send no SIGPIPE: multithread-safe

The current implementation of the no-SIGPIPE send in the compatibility
layer has side-effects on multithreaded processes due to use of
sigaction(). Although multithread-safety is not strictly needed since
Babeltrace is single-threaded for now, there is no reason to keep this
limitation deeply rooted in a compatibility layer.

Use the multithreaded-safe algorithm to catch SIGPIPE implemented in
LTTng-UST for the write() system call for platforms that do not have
MSG_NOSIGNAL. It was originally implented in LTTng-UST as part of the
ring buffer wakeup. This is a re-implementation of this same algorithm
under MIT license. It uses signal masks and sigtimedwait.
