I'm working on a homebrew that will read and download files from a http server. In the app I would check if the socket is open and still readable before trying to read from it. The app would randomly crash on the "select" function.
Here's the code sniplet of that function.
template <typename T> ssize_t handle_EINTR(T fn) {
ssize_t res = false;
while (true) {
res = fn();
if (res < 0 && errno == EINTR) { continue; }
break;
}
return res;
}
ssize_t select_read(socket_t sock, time_t sec, time_t usec) {
if (sock >= FD_SETSIZE) { return 1; }
fd_set fds;
FD_ZERO(&fds);
FD_SET(sock, &fds);
timeval tv;
tv.tv_sec = static_cast<long>(sec);
tv.tv_usec = static_cast<decltype(tv.tv_usec)>(usec);
return handle_EINTR([&]() {
return select(static_cast<int>(sock + 1), &fds, nullptr, nullptr, &tv); <<< crash on this line randomly
});
}
