Technically it's got nothing to do with the Lazarus version, but rather the FPC version. FPC is the one where the database components are defined, in the FCL.

So I see many people are using SimpleIPC. Has anyone come across any problems. When I tried it when it very first came out almost days or weeks after the first release of it, I noticed some duplicate messages being passed. Not sure if it was my problem or the IPC unit problem. Seemed like a really neat tool, SimpleIPC. -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org http://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus

This would be easy to implement. Regards, Andrew Haines -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org http://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
[Lazarus] stale pipe workarounds
Hi while researching help systems I came across the code which uses IPC to communicate and see that people are adding stale pipe work arounds. So this can't be resolved in the ipc code itself and must be in the application? Just wondering why these work arounds are needed and when they occur. The stale pipe code work around is at https://github.com/graemeg/lazarus/blob/upstream/components/chmhelp/packages/help/lhelpcontrol.pas So does anyone who uses IPC have to be aware of this and add the work around to all ipc code in all applications? Or it only happens in certain cases? It just makes me scared that there is this hack/fix needed. -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org http://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus

Or it only happens in certain cases? It just makes me scared that there is this hack/fix needed. FPC now has this stale pipe detection included. The fix was added to the code lazarus uses until the next official version of FPC was released and went into the develop version of fpc in early 2012. At this point it could probably be removed form lazarus since there have been multiple releases of fpc since then. https://github.com/graemeg/freepascal/blob/master/packages/fcl-process/src/unix/simpleipc.inc#L97 https://github.com/graemeg/freepascal/commit/439236b9df1e952ad0fc1da42f05851dfea459ac Regards, Andrew Haines -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus-ide.org http://lists.lazarus-ide.org/listinfo/lazarus
