             Summary: qpid::messaging::ConnectionContext crash after network 
disconnect (with patch)
                 Key: QPID-8056
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-8056
             Project: Qpid
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: C++ Client
    Affects Versions: qpid-cpp-1.36.0
         Environment: RedHat Enterprise Linux 6
            Reporter: Håkan Johansson


When doing HA testing we found that our application often crashed inside the 
Qpid Messaging library.

Our test:
* One ActiveMQ broker.
* Two proxies connecting to the AMQP port on the broker. At the start, only one 
of the proxies are running.
* Test program configured to use failover between the two proxies. Protocol is 
"amqp1.0". It reads messages in a loop using a transactional session. On error 
it closes the connection and opens a new.
* Send some messages and let the test program process them.
* Stop proxy1 and start proxy2.
* Send some more messages and let the test program process them.
* Stop proxy2 and start proxy1.
* And so on...

After a couple of switches the test program crashes, but not always. It's a 
timing thing.
A typical error message that we see before the crash:
{noformat}
Exception when trying to close the qpid connection: Transaction outcome 
unknown: transport failure
{noformat}

The reason for the crash is that the poller thread is still active when the 
connection is being deleted. The destructor of the 
{{qpid::messaging::ConnectionContext}} class deletes the {{TcpTransport}} 
instance at the same time as, or right before, the poller thread is calling a 
callback on it ({{qpid::messaging::amqp::TcpTransport::disconnected}}).

I have attached a patch to solve the issue, at least for this use case.

I cannot test this on {{1.37.0}} as I cannot build that version on RHEL6 as it 
uses Python 2.6 which is no longer supported in {{1.37.0}}. The code in 
question is identical in {{1.36.0}} and {{1.37.0}} though.
