Is it that we are assuming a pipe buffer that is sufficiently large and expecting a write that we deem to be small enough not to block, causing a deadlock on a platform with very small pipe buffer, or something? > + (void)setsockopt(fd_listen, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, > + (char*)&reuse_on, sizeof(reuse_on)); Broken indentation. Either align (note: these are only to illustrate the column alignment; I am not encouraging to indent with leading SPs) the opening "(" of the "(char *)" cast with "f" in "fd_listen", like this, (void)setsockopt(fd_listen, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, (char *)&reuse_on, sizeof(reuse_on)); by a run of HT with minimum number of SP, or push the beginning of the second line past opening "(" after "setsockopt", like this, (void)setsockopt(fd_listen, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, (char *)&reuse_on, sizeof(reuse_on)); with a run of minimum number of HT without any SP. > diff --git a/git-compat-util.h b/git-compat-util.h > index c1f8a47..88632ab 100644 > --- a/git-compat-util.h > +++ b/git-compat-util.h > @@ -176,6 +176,10 @@ int get_st_mode_bits(const char *path, int *mode); > #endif > #endif > > +int socket_pipe(int filedes[2]); > +#ifdef GIT_USE_SOCKET_PIPE > +#define pipe(a) socket_pipe(a) > +#endif Shouldn't the function declaration be inside this #ifdef? > /* used on Mac OS X */ > #ifdef PRECOMPOSE_UNICODE > #include "compat/precompose_utf8.h" -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
