Hello again,
maybe another stupid question but i could not found any
example in the modules dir of the httpd source.
Let's say i have an child_init_function which opens a
filehandle. This filehandle should be open until the child
ends.
In mod_example.c they register an cleanup function to call a
function on child exit.
static apr_status_t child_exit ( void *data )
{
//close file handle...
return OK;
}
static void child_init ( apr_pool_t *p, server_rec *s )
{
//open file handle...
apr_pool_cleanup_register(p, s, NULL, child_exit) ;
}
I understand the cleanup as a function which runs on pool_cleanup.
This could happend on any time which i can't control - right?
When i return an HTTP_INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR in my handler function
as an example the cleanup get's called also but the child is still
alive. The filehandle is closed and on the next request i run into
some kind of trouble.
Is there a way to define a 'real' exit function or can i force child
shutdown in above example? What's the right way to do it correctly?
Thanks a lot and greetings
Michael
