package IPC::Run::Win32Pump; =pod =head1 NAME IPC::Run::Win32Pump - helper processes to shovel data to/from parent, child =head1 SYNOPSIS Internal use only; see IPC::Run::Win32IO and best of luck to you. =head1 DESCRIPTION See L for details. This module is used in subprocesses that are spawned to shovel data to/from parent processes from/to their child processes. Where possible, pumps are optimized away. NOTE: This is not a real module: it's a script in module form, designed to be run like $^X -MIPC::Run::Win32Pumper -e 1 ... It parses a bunch of command line parameters from IPC::Run::Win32IO. =cut use strict; use vars qw{$VERSION}; BEGIN { $VERSION = '0.99'; } use Win32API::File qw( OsFHandleOpen ); my ( $stdin_fh, $stdout_fh, $debug_fh, $binmode, $parent_pid, $parent_start_time, $debug, $child_label ); BEGIN { ( $stdin_fh, $stdout_fh, $debug_fh, $binmode, $parent_pid, $parent_start_time, $debug, $child_label ) = @ARGV; ## Rather than letting IPC::Run::Debug export all-0 constants ## when not debugging, we do it manually in order to not even ## load IPC::Run::Debug. if ($debug) { eval "use IPC::Run::Debug qw( :default _debug_init ); 1;" or die $@; } else { eval < 100; $msg =~ s/\n/\\n/g; $msg =~ s/\r/\\r/g; $msg =~ s/\t/\\t/g; $msg =~ s/([\000-\037\177-\277])/sprintf "\0x%02x", ord $1/eg; _debug sprintf( "%5d chars revc: ", $count ), $msg; } $total_count += $count; $buf =~ s/\r//g unless $binmode; if (_debugging_gory_details) { my $msg = "'$buf'"; substr( $msg, 100, -1 ) = '...' if length $msg > 100; $msg =~ s/\n/\\n/g; $msg =~ s/\r/\\r/g; $msg =~ s/\t/\\t/g; $msg =~ s/([\000-\037\177-\277])/sprintf "\0x%02x", ord $1/eg; _debug sprintf( "%5d chars sent: ", $count ), $msg; } print $buf; } _debug "Exiting, transferred $total_count chars" if _debugging_details; ## Perform a graceful socket shutdown. Windows defaults to SO_DONTLINGER, ## which should cause a "graceful shutdown in the background" on sockets. ## but that's only true if the process closes the socket manually, it ## seems; if the process exits and lets the OS clean up, the OS is not ## so kind. STDOUT is not always a socket, of course, but it won't hurt ## to close a pipe and may even help. With a closed source OS, who ## can tell? ## ## In any case, this close() is one of the main reasons we have helper ## processes; if the OS closed socket fds gracefully when an app exits, ## we'd just redirect the client directly to what is now the pump end ## of the socket. As it is, however, we need to let the client play with ## pipes, which don't have the abort-on-app-exit behavior, and then ## adapt to the sockets in the helper processes to allow the parent to ## select. ## ## Possible alternatives / improvements: ## ## 1) use helper threads instead of processes. I don't trust perl's threads ## as of 5.005 or 5.6 enough (which may be myopic of me). ## ## 2) figure out if/how to get at WaitForMultipleObjects() with pipe ## handles. May be able to take the Win32 handle and pass it to ## Win32::Event::wait_any, dunno. ## ## 3) Use Inline::C or a hand-tooled XS module to do helper threads. ## This would be faster than #1, but would require a ppm distro. ## close STDOUT; close STDERR; 1; =pod =head1 AUTHOR Barries Slaymaker .
