Subject: t/ithreadm.t hang/fail on darwin
The t/ithreadm.t test hangs or fails on darwin (Mac OS X). I tried running tests several times and got different results each time: === Run 1 === (via CPANPLUS v0.061) t/ithreadm......Child 0: Error while reading: 0 () at t/ithreadm.t line 47, <GEN1> line 7.

I do not have a Darwin machine to test this on, but it should work (famous last words). Fixed in Net-Daemon-0.40 and Net-Daemon-0.41

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it still fails on OSX 10.4.9, perl 5.8.6. Are there any additional diagnostics I can provide, or tests I can run for you? Below is the output of two runs. The first is unmodified code. The second is with some additional diagnostics enabled by hacking t/ithreadm.t and t/server. However, I can't make any sense of the errors after reading code for 20 minutes...

From: m.nooning [...] comcast.net
Thanks for the work. ithreadm.t is only a little over 100 lines. Please add ":pid is $$:" to your print statements, run it again, and post the results and attach ithreadm.t. Thanks M. Nooning
From: m.nooning [...] comcast.net
On second thought, ... Obviously line 47 is within sub ReadWrite. ReadWrite is being called from sub MyChild where $fh got its value from these lines: my $fh = IO::Socket::INET->new('PeerAddr' => '127.0.0.1', 'PeerPort' => $port); I can see from other documentation that the invocation for $fh, as well as $fh->getline(), are being called correctly. The error seems to be in the Socket module, which is where I think getline() is defined. Please make sure you have the latest IO::Socket. INET inherits the getline() from Socket. Or is it from IO? In any case, please make sure you have the latest of those modules since getline() seems to be coming back undefined to Net::Daemon. Here is my reasoning. If the parameter $fh as received by ReadWrite was not valid it would be dieing at line 44. Then the line my $line = $fh->getline(); is the culprit. The question is, what is happening in getline? I would like to see what the successful lines look like, so please change the code around the said line to this: print STDERR ("# PID $$ ref fh is ", ref($fh), "\n"); my $line = $fh->getline(); if ( $defined($line) ) { print STDERR ("# line is defined :$line:\n"); } else { print STDERR ("# line is NOT defined :$line:\n"); } Um, one more thing. Right after the MyChild line my $fh = IO::Socket::INET->new .... please add print STDERR ("PID $$ port is $port\n"); Thanks M. Nooning

Malcolm, I confirmed that I already have the latest IO::Socket (v1.30) and IO::Socket::INET (v1.31). As for Socket, I get this message: [ERROR] The core Perl 5.008006 module 'Socket' can only be upgraded from 1.77 to 1.78 by Perl itself (perl-5.8.8.tar.gz). Aborting install. It's worth pointing out that sometimes the failures I witnessed happened on the first iteration, but sometimes later (e.g. in my report yesterday, one thread failed on iteration 532 of 1000; Today's report shows similar unpredictability). Failures on iteration 1 are the most common, but other numbers appear sporadically. Attached are two files: a diff showing my hacked t/ server and t/ithreadm.t, and a log of one output run. Thanks for continuing the investigation. At some point, though, we should consider just saying that threading on Mac perl5.8.6 may be unreliable.

I don't know what to make of this since I don't know Darwin, and I certainly do not know one Darwin version from another. Ouch! Right now you are the only one to test on a Darwin machine with Net::Daemon 0.41. I am hoping there will soon be more CPAN testers with Darwin, specifically machines like yours, testing the 0.41 module. If they consistently pass, or consistently fail, that will tell us something. Until then I will have to hope to get help from elsewhere. Thanks

Interesting. Darwin is the open-source kernel of Mac OS X, and its version number closely parallels the OS X version number. To give a little context: Mac OS X 10.0.x "Cheetah" ( == darwin 1.3.x) shipped with perl 5.6.0 in 2001 Mac OS X 10.1.x "Puma" ( == darwin 5.x) shipped with perl 5.6.0 in 2001 Mac OS X 10.2.x "Jaguar" ( == darwin 6.x) shipped with perl 5.6.0 in 2002 Mac OS X 10.3.x "Panther" ( == darwin 7.x) shipped with perl 5.8.1-RC3 in 2003 Mac OS X 10.4.x "Tiger" ( == darwin 8.x) shipped with perl 5.8.6 in 2005 Mac OS X 10.5.x "Leopard" ( == darwin 9.x?) will ship with perl 5.8.8 in 2007 "2level" refers to a C-compiler namespace setting used to build perl. I don't recall what the "multi" means. If you see any versions other than those, it's a non-Apple build.

I have a feeling it is not Darwin related. A search for "cpan testers net::daemon" shows seven PASS four FAIL test runs. There is something wrong with Net::Daemon. I am a co-maintainer because I put together a some patches to fix things I could find by putting in a lot of print statements and tracing through the code. That, and the fact that it had not worked on Windows for three years and I am on a Windows machine. The print statement and backtracing approach only gets one but so far. In reality I have never seen any of this code before. In addition, I've never read up on threads programming. I would like to be more helpful but there is too much I do not know in this subject area. I wrote to the original author and asked him to look at the last few bugs. Thanks
From: m.nooning [...] comcast.net
Again, I am hoping the original author, or someone with a threads programming background, will add some information here. In the meanwhile someone else wrote me that they are getting similar symptoms on a Darwin machine, which I will paste bits and pieces of below. ------------------ paste bits and pieces Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 8 subversion 8) configuration: Platform: osname=darwin, osvers=8.8.0, archname=darwin-thread-multi-2level uname='darwin snowcrash 8.8.0 darwin kernel version 8.8.0: fri sep 8 17:18:57 pdt 2006; root:xnu-792.12.6.obj~1release_ppc power macintosh powerpc ... ... t/ithreadm......Child 1: Error while reading: 0 () at t/ithreadm.t line 47, <GEN1> line 575.

Child 3: Error while reading: 0 () at t/ithreadm.t line 47, <GEN1> line 616. ... ... etcetera, etcetera, etcetera ------------------ end paste bits and pieces BTW: I posted "Where does <GEN1> come from?" on perlmonks.org and got an interesting answer. I paste their answers below for lack of anything better to say about the GEN messages. From perlfunc for die: If the last element of LIST does not end in a newline, the current script line number and input line number (if any) are also printed, and a newline is supplied. Note that the ``input line number'' (also known as ``chunk'') is subject to whatever notion of ``line'' happens to be currently in effect, and is also available as the special variable $.. ... It is a test file from Net::Daemon which uses IO::Socket so I'd bet it's just read from the second anonymous glob generated for a socket (the first would have been named GEN0). You can get the same handle names yourself with gensym from the core Symbol module. --- It is the line number of the most recently opened filehandle. Here's a (slightly contrived) example: #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use FileHandle; my $iam = $0; my $fh = new FileHandle; open($fh, "<", $iam) or die "Can't open myself: '$iam' ($!)\n"; my $cnt = 15; while (my $line = <$fh>) { chomp $line; printf "%2d: %s\n", (10 / $cnt--), $line; } When saved as the file "mytest", and run, it errors out on the 15th line, where a division by zero error occurs: Illegal division by zero at mytest line 15, <GEN0> line 16.
Please try the latest version, 0.43. Per the CPAN testers at http://testers.cpan.org/show/Net-Daemon.html the Net::Daemon package passes on all of the machines tested, but Darwin is not one of them that was tried. Does it still fail? Thanks

Arrrrrrgh! To tell you the truth, I am kind of at a loss as to avenues of approach to fix this for Darwin. Looking up "cpan testers net::daemon" reveals 0.43 (32 PASSes, 2 UNKNOWNs) which means it works for all of the other platforms tried. What is it about Darwin that is different?. If it failed on more platforms it would probably be easier to track down. Unless someone else comes up with some ideas, this will probably not see much progress. That is a killer as far as platform independence is concerned. I will just have to give this more thought. Thanks

I agree, it's confusing and frustrating and I too am stumped. I just tried it with a third-party build of Perl 5.8.8 (intead of Apple's build of 5.8.6) and get similar errors. I recommend that you just mark this bug as "stalled". :-( Chris On Mon Jul 30 20:38:11 2007, MNOONING wrote: Show quoted text
