[clisp-list] ext:run-program vs. ext:make-pipe-io-stream

[Pascal Bourguignon]

Hello,

I’m observing a strange difference of behavior between ext:run-program and ext:make-pipe-io-stream:

I’m opening a bidirectional pipe with a command (namely:
command = “java”
arguments = ("-Xdock:name=foo" “-classpath" "/usr/local/lib/spl.jar”
"stanford/spl/JavaBackEnd" “foo”)
) with either:

(multiple-value-list
(ext:letf ((custom:*misc-encoding* *command-encoding*)
(custom:*default-file-encoding* *jbe-encoding*))
(ext:run-program command
:arguments arguments
:wait nil
:input :stream
:output :stream)))

or:

(multiple-value-list
(ext:letf ((custom:*misc-encoding* *command-encoding*)
(custom:*default-file-encoding* *jbe-encoding*))
(ext:make-pipe-io-stream (format nil "~A ~{~A~^ ~}"
command
(mapcar (function shell-quote-argument)
arguments))
:element-type 'character
:external-format custom:*default-file-encoding*
:buffered nil)))

I immediately close the bidirectional stream (first result), and use the output and input streams. However, as soon as I write the first line and flush it with force-output, I get a
stream-error:
UNIX error 32 (EPIPE): Broken pipe, child process terminated or socket closed
when I use run-program.

On the other hand, it works correctly without any problem with make-pipe-ip-stream.


What could explain the difference?


This is on macOS Sierra.

It would be nice if you could file a bug report on SF with a test case
(something I could copy/paste at the CLISP prompt and get the error or
correct output).

thanks
