We are seeing some random cases where the regression test runtestfedabipkgdiff.py hangs in what seems to be a deadlock. This seems to happen in fedabipkgidiff when it spawns a process to run abipkgdiff. More precisely, proc.communicate() hangs. The documentation of that function at https://docs.python.org/2/library/subprocess.html#subprocess.Popen.communicate says: Note: The data read is buffered in memory, so do not use this method if the data size is large or unlimited. So this patch avoids using proc.communicate() because the output of abipkgdiff *can* be large. Rather, the patch manually waits for the the spawned abipkgdiff to finish, and then, read its output. * tools/fedabipkgdiff (abipkgidff): Do not use Popen.communicate() as it might hang if the data is large. Rather, busy wait for the abipkgdiff process to finish and then get its output. Signed-off-by: Dodji Seketeli <dodji@redhat.com> |

This is the Application Binary Interface Generic Analysis and Instrumentation Library. It aims at constructing, manipulating, serializing and de-serializing ABI-relevant artifacts. The set of artifacts that we are intersted is made of quantities like types, variable, fonctions and declarations of a given library or program. For a given library or program this set of quantities is called an ABI corpus. This library aims at (among other things) providing a way to compare two ABI Corpora (apparently the plural of corpus is copora, heh, that's cool), provide detailed information about their differences, and help build tools to infer interesting conclusions about these differences. You are welcome to contribute to this project after reading the files CONTRIBUTING and COMMIT-LOG-GUIDELINES files in the source tree. Communicating with the maintainers of this project -- including sending patches to be include to the source code -- happens via email at libabigail@sourceware.org.
