Hi,
This is my first bug report, so please be gentle (especially if it turns out
to not be a bug at all)... I hope this report is not overly long...
It appears that we've discovered a circumstance where Perl exits against the
wishes of the programmer without a diagnostic. The test program I used
follows. It listens on port 3002, and writes lines to the first client that
connects to it. The server only writes to clients, and clients only read.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use IO::Socket;
use warnings;
use strict;
my $sock=new IO::Socket::INET(LocalPort => 4242,
Proto => 'tcp',
Reuse => 1,
Listen => 1);
die "$!\n" unless $sock;
print "Waiting for connection...\n";
my $new_sock=$sock->accept();
print "Got connection...\n";
my $i=0;
while (1) {
my $line="$i bottle(s) of Ribena, sitting on Larry Wall...\n";
$i++;
print "1: about to write for the ${i}th time\n";
my $len=syswrite $new_sock,$line,length($line);
print "2: survived syswrite\n";
if ($len) {
print "3: wrote $len bytes.\n";
} else {
print "3a: syswrite failed! ($!)\n";
}
sleep 1;
}
print "How did I get here?\n";
I run it, and use another small program to connect to it to read the data:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use IO::Socket;
use warnings;
use strict;
my $socket=IO::Socket::INET->new('localhost:4242');
die "$!\n" unless $socket;
#exit 0;
my $line=<$socket>;
chop $line;
print "Got: '$line'\n";
The result at the server:
[pts/15][email protected]:~/work/cads$ ./testsrv.pl
Waiting for connection...
Got connection...
1: about to write for the 1th time
2: survived syswrite
3: wrote 48 bytes.
1: about to write for the 2th time
2: survived syswrite
3: wrote 48 bytes.
1: about to write for the 3th time
[pts/15][email protected]:~/work/cads$ echo $?
141
[pts/15][email protected]:~/work/cads$
And the client:
[pts/16][email protected]:~/work/cads$ ./testcli.pl
Got: '0 bottle(s) of Ribena, sitting on Larry Wall...'
[pts/16][email protected]:~/work/cads$
I did notice that if the client opened the connection but did not read
anything (eg. by uncommenting the exit command), the server output changes
to:
[pts/15][email protected]:~/work/cads$ ./testsrv.pl
Waiting for connection...
Got connection...
1: about to write for the 1th time
2: survived syswrite
3: wrote 48 bytes.
1: about to write for the 2th time
2: survived syswrite
3a: syswrite failed! (Connection reset by peer)
1: about to write for the 3th time
[pts/15][email protected]:~/work/cads$ echo $?
141
[pts/15][email protected]:~/work/cads$
I suspect that that's not a very important detail.
Using 'print $socket $line' instead of syswrite gives similar results
(except connection resets aren't noticed).
Running the server through the Perl debugger doesn't stop Perl from exiting.
While a Real Program would check for conditions such as the other end
closing the connection, I wouldn't expect Perl to quietly bomb out...
