[Ace-users] Pipes on Win32 and Unix

[pivlev at gmail.com]

Hi all,

Could anyone advise me how to make this code to run exactly the same
on both Win32 and Unix ?

==========
Main program:

int ACE_TMAIN (int argc, ACE_TCHAR *argv[])
{
		ACE_Process nmproc;
		ACE_Process_Options nm_opts;
		nm_opts.command_line("testEcho");

		ACE_HANDLE pipe[2];
 		ACE_OS::pipe(pipe);
		nm_opts.set_handles(pipe[0]);
		ACE_OS::close(pipe[0]);
		nmproc.spawn(nm_opts);
		ACE_OS::write(pipe[1], "aa\n", 2);
		nm_opts.release_handles();
		ACE_OS::close(pipe[1]);
		return 0;
}

==========
testEcho program:

int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	printf("TestEcho started\n");
	char buf[100];
	scanf("%s", buf);
	fprintf(stdout, "StdOut:%s\n", buf);
	fprintf(stderr, "StdErr:%s\n", buf);

	return 0;
}


==========
On Win32 I got the following:
 after a call to "ACE_OS::close(pipe[1]);", the testEcho is closed
immidiately and the output is :
TestEcho started
StdOut:aa
StdErr:aa

But when I run this code on Linux, testEcho is never terminated, and
the output is only:
TestEcho started

Please help.
