From 450837bcc887a47260817611d01c22e35aba92b6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eelco Dolstra Date: Mon, 4 Oct 2010 11:23:07 +0000 Subject: * In printMsg(), ignore failing writes to stderr if we're in an exception handler, otherwise throw an exception. We need to ignore write errors in exception handlers to ensure that cleanup code runs to completion if the other side of stderr has been closed unexpectedly. --- src/libutil/util.cc | 11 ++++++++++- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'src/libutil') diff --git a/src/libutil/util.cc b/src/libutil/util.cc index c79ce1041..32c8fce9a 100644 --- a/src/libutil/util.cc +++ b/src/libutil/util.cc @@ -482,7 +482,16 @@ void printMsg_(Verbosity level, const format & f) else if (logType == ltEscapes && level != lvlInfo) prefix = "\033[" + escVerbosity(level) + "s"; string s = (format("%1%%2%\n") % prefix % f.str()).str(); - writeToStderr((const unsigned char *) s.c_str(), s.size()); + try { + writeToStderr((const unsigned char *) s.c_str(), s.size()); + } catch (SysError & e) { + /* Ignore failing writes to stderr if we're in an exception + handler, otherwise throw an exception.
