Description Michael Haubenwallner (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2016-05-24 11:02:54 UTC
Although the FIFO implementation in Cygwin could need a revamp[1], with a little reordering it is possible to get the current multijob thingy working.

This actually applies to multiprocessing.eclass as well.

Any thoughts?

Can change mj_read_fd to readonly mode? I think we should do that, if it works correctly. Does it really matter which order mj_read_fd and mj_write_fd are opened? Why would it?

Please submit a patch for multiprocessing.eclass to the gentoo-dev mailing list.

If mj_read_fd is opened in readonly mode, I see that pym/portage/tests/emerge/test_emerge_blocker_file_collision.py deadlocks in a call to prepstrip.

Also it deadlocks if mj_write_fd is opened first in writeonly mode.
