Hi,
As noted in the TortoiseSVN group [1], TortoiseUDiff will quit with an
error message "The pipe has been ended" if you try to pipe a diff to the
program. The original post uses git but it can be reproduced with any
source (for example piping from svn).
The root cause seems to be the changes by csware in r29665 on December 18th
(2023):
[[[
TortoiseUDiff: Improve error reporting
Based on TortoiseGit rev. 0cadd137babbbd87ba834020b101d05d21b7e8e4.
]]]
The code (only relevant lines):
[[[
BOOL bRet = ReadFile(hFile, data, sizeof(data), &dwRead, nullptr);
while ((dwRead > 0) && (bRet))
{
... send data to Scintilla and check status ...
bRet = ReadFile(hFile, data, sizeof(data), &dwRead, nullptr);
}
if (!bRet)
{
if (hFile || wantStdIn)
{
MessageBox(*this,
static_cast<LPCWSTR>(CFormatMessageWrapper()), L"TortoiseUDiff",
MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);
return false;
}
...
}
]]]
What seems to happen is that ReadFile returns when there is no more data.
This causes MessageBox to be called with GetLastError() being
ERROR_BROKEN_PIPE.
I think the same would happen with TortoiseGitUDiff (see [2]).
I'm not sure I understand exactly what is supposed to happen, in particular
the check for if (hFile || wantStdIn). wantStdIn is set if TortoiseUDiff is
called with /b, but documentation says /b is optional and STDIN will be
used by default.
Maybe a check for GetLastError() == ERROR_BROKEN_PIPE? I can't figure out
from the documentation for ReadFile [4] how to detect EOF for a pipe.
Kind regards
Daniel
