问题描述

我试图通过编写以下-type 函数来增强我对与forkexec、和dup重定向相关的事物的理解:stdinstdoutstderrpopen

// main.c
#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>

#define INVALID_FD (-1)

typedef enum PipeEnd {
  READ_END  = 0,
  WRITE_END = 1
} PipeEnd;

typedef int Pipe[2];

/** Encapsulates information about a created child process. */
typedef struct popen2_t {
  bool  success;  ///< true if the child process was spawned.
  Pipe  stdin;    ///< parent -> stdin[WRITE_END] -> child's stdin
  Pipe  stdout;   ///< child -> stdout[WRITE_END] -> parent reads stdout[READ_END]
  Pipe  stderr;   ///< child -> stderr[WRITE_END] -> parent reads stderr[READ_END]
  pid_t pid;      ///< child process' pid
} popen2_t;

/** dup2( p[pe] ) then close and invalidate both ends of p */
static void dupFd( Pipe p, const PipeEnd pe, const int fd ) {
  dup2( p[pe], fd);
  close( p[READ_END] );
  close( p[WRITE_END] );
  p[READ_END] = INVALID_FD;
  p[WRITE_END] = INVALID_FD;
}

popen2_t popen2( const char* cmd ) {
  popen2_t r = { false, { INVALID_FD, INVALID_FD } };

  if ( -1 == pipe( r.stdin ) ) { goto end; }
  if ( -1 == pipe( r.stdout ) ) { goto end; }
  if ( -1 == pipe( r.stderr ) ) { goto end; }

  switch ( (r.pid = fork()) ) {
    case -1: // Error
      goto end;

    case 0: // Child process
      dupFd( r.stdin, READ_END, STDIN_FILENO );
      dupFd( r.stdout, WRITE_END, STDOUT_FILENO );
      dupFd( r.stderr, WRITE_END, STDERR_FILENO );

      {
        char* argv[] = { "sh", "-c", (char*)cmd, NULL };

        if ( -1 == execvp( argv[0], argv ) ) { exit(0); }
      }
  }

  // Parent process
  close( r.stdin[READ_END] );
  r.stdin[READ_END] = INVALID_FD;
  close( r.stdout[WRITE_END] );
  r.stdout[WRITE_END] = INVALID_FD;
  close( r.stderr[WRITE_END] );
  r.stderr[WRITE_END] = INVALID_FD;
  r.success = true;

end:
  if ( ! r.success ) {
    if ( INVALID_FD != r.stdin[READ_END] ) { close( r.stdin[READ_END] ); }
    if ( INVALID_FD != r.stdin[WRITE_END] ) { close( r.stdin[WRITE_END] ); }
    if ( INVALID_FD != r.stdout[READ_END] ) { close( r.stdout[READ_END] ); }
    if ( INVALID_FD != r.stdout[WRITE_END] ) { close( r.stdout[WRITE_END] ); }
    if ( INVALID_FD != r.stderr[READ_END] ) { close( r.stderr[READ_END] ); }
    if ( INVALID_FD != r.stderr[WRITE_END] ) { close( r.stderr[WRITE_END] ); }

    r.stdin[READ_END] = r.stdin[WRITE_END] =
      r.stdout[READ_END] = r.stdout[WRITE_END] =
      r.stderr[READ_END] = r.stderr[WRITE_END] = INVALID_FD;
  }

  return r;
}

int main( int argc, char* argv[] ) {
  popen2_t p = popen2( "./child.out" );

  {
    int status = 0;


    sleep( 2 );

    {
      char buf[1024] = { '\0' };

      read( p.stdout[READ_END], buf, sizeof buf );
      printf( "%s", buf );
    }

    //pid_t wpid = waitpid( p.pid, &status, 0 );
    //return wpid == p.pid && WIFEXITED( status ) ? WEXITSTATUS( status ) : -1;
  }
}
// child.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>

int main( int argc, char* argv[] ) {
  printf( "%s:%d\n", __FILE__, __LINE__ );
  sleep( 1 );
  printf( "%s:%d\n", __FILE__, __LINE__ );
  sleep( 1 );
  printf( "%s:%d\n", __FILE__, __LINE__ );
  sleep( 1 );
  printf( "%s:%d\n", __FILE__, __LINE__ );
  sleep( 1 );
  return 0;
}

编译和执行:

我的问题是关于read()- 我不太明白为什么read()在子进程完成之前似乎会阻塞(从而关闭它的管道末端)?

是巧合吗?您可以看到我试图“使”主进程在子进程执行sleep( 2 )语句的中间进行读取。

总共,子进程将 50 个字符转储到其(重定向的)标准输出。主进程不可能在read()子进程的执行过程中执行它并且只读取这些字符中的 50 个字符,因此主进程的 printf() 不会打印子进程的所有四行全部?

(功能方面,一切都很好 - 我的问题是更好地理解read()

解决方案


默认情况下,stdout当它不写入终端时是完全缓冲的。printf()因此,在刷新缓冲区之前,您在子进程中的调用不会将任何内容写入管道。这将在缓冲区填满(可能是 1K 或 4K 字节)或进程退出时发生。

您可以使用 立即刷新缓冲区fflush(stdout);。在每次调用之后添加它,printf()您就可以在父级中读取它们,而无需等待进程退出。
