Austin Shoemaker resolved ZOOKEEPER-890.
----------------------------------------
Resolution: Not A Problem
Closing, C client works as intended. Submitted a patch in ZOOKEEPER-888 to
handle this properly in zkpython.
> C client invokes watcher callbacks multiple times
> -------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: ZOOKEEPER-890
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-890
> Project: Zookeeper
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: c client
> Affects Versions: 3.3.1
> Environment: Mac OS X 10.6.5
> Reporter: Austin Shoemaker
> Priority: Critical
> Attachments: watcher_twice.c, ZOOKEEPER-890.patch
>
>
> Code using the C client assumes that watcher callbacks are called exactly
> once. If the watcher is called more than once, the process will likely
> overwrite freed memory and/or crash.
> collect_session_watchers (zk_hashtable.c) gathers watchers from
> active_node_watchers, active_exist_watchers, and active_child_watchers
> without removing them. This results in watchers being invoked more than once.
> Test code is attached that reproduces the bug, along with a proposed patch.
