Ok, this time i'll try to be very concise.
Im porting a linux application (a web server). The web server is able to
manage different connections at a time (max 10 connections).
The problem is this... Imagine tou are downloading a page & in the middle of
the download you kill (or press the stop button in) the web browser (client
application). Then, if my web server tries to write() in the (closed |
killed) socket, instead of reporting an error, the program crashes.
If i run my web server in the bash console of cygwin, it reports an "broken
pipe" error after crashing.
If I run the web server in a ms-dos console, it dies silently.
the code is like this:
if ((count=write(client_socket,requested_web_page_buffer,length))==-1) {
perror("write");
free_stuff_of_this_connection();
}
In linux, if write fails, perror reports the error and the program frees
connection & keeps running ok.
In windows (cygwin) if write fails, perror doesn't report anything & program
crashes.
Im using cygwin1.dll version 1.3.2.
Tnx in advance.
