Message132664
Possible plan for POSIX, where a connection uses a pipe() or socketpair(): exploit the fact that an endpoint becomes ready for reading (indicating EOF) when the other endpoint is closed:
>>> r, w = os.pipe()
>>> select.select([r], [], [r], 0)
([], [], [])
>>> os.close(w)
>>> select.select([r], [], [r], 0)
([4], [], [])
>>> a, b = socket.socketpair()
>>> select.select([b], [], [b], 0)
([], [], [])
>>> a.close()
>>> select.select([b], [], [b], 0)
([<socket.socket object, fd=8, family=1, type=1, proto=0>], [], [])
So, each Process could have a sentinel fd in the parent process, which becomes ready when the process exits. These sentinel fds can be used in the various select() calls underlying Queue.get().
(I don't understand why _multiprocessing/socket_connection.c in written in C. Rewriting it in Python would make improvements much easier) |
