[Live-devel] Ignoring SIGPIPE

[Philippe Clavel]

Hi,
I have an issue on Mac OSX where the RTSPClient was throwing SIG_PIPE whenever the TCP connection from the server was terminated (server timeout or crash).
Trying to USE_SIGNALS as below did not work and we were still crashing when the connection was dropping:
#ifdef USE_SIGNALS
  // Ignore the SIGPIPE signal, so that clients on the same host that are killed
  // don't also kill us:
  signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN);
#endif

The only way we found to fix ti was to set SO_NOSIGPIPE on the socket itself when created.


  if (newSocket > 0) {
    int set_option = 1;
    if (0 == setsockopt(newSocket, SOL_SOCKET, SO_NOSIGPIPE, &set_option, sizeof(set_option))) {
    } else {
    	socketErr(env,"failed to set socket signal option");
    }
  }

I have attached the source code with the change in GroupsockHelper.cpp .  
Will it be possible to include that change in an upcoming release?

Let me know,

Philippe
