If are unfortunate enough to be reading this code, I would like to first //! apologize. This was my first encounter with windows named pipes, and it //! didn't exactly turn out very cleanly. If you, too, are new to named pipes, //! read on as I'll try to explain some fun things that I ran into. //! //! # Unix pipes vs Named pipes //! //! As with everything else, named pipes on windows are pretty different from //! unix pipes on unix. On unix, you use one "server pipe" to accept new client //! pipes. So long as this server pipe is active, new children pipes can //! connect. On windows, you instead have a number of "server pipes", and each //! of these server pipes can throughout their lifetime be attached to a client //! or not. Once attached to a client, a server pipe may then disconnect at a //! later date. //! //! # Accepting clients //! //! As with most other I/O interfaces, our Listener/Acceptor/Stream interfaces //! are built around the unix flavors. This means that we have one "server //! pipe" to which many clients can connect. In order to make this compatible //! with the windows model, each connected client consumes ownership of a server //! pipe, and then a new server pipe is created for the next client. //! //! Note that the server pipes attached to clients are never given back to the //! listener for recycling. This could possibly be implemented with a channel so //! the listener half can re-use server pipes, but for now I err'd on the simple //! side of things. Each stream accepted by a listener will destroy the server //! pipe after the stream is dropped. //! //! This model ends up having a small race or two, and you can find more details //! on the `native_accept` method. //! //! # Simultaneous reads and writes //! //! In testing, I found that two simultaneous writes and two simultaneous reads //! on a pipe ended up working out just fine, but problems were encountered when //! a read was executed simultaneously with a write. After some googling around, //! it sounded like named pipes just weren't built for this kind of interaction, //! and the suggested solution was to use overlapped I/O. //! //! I don't realy know what overlapped I/O is, but my basic understanding after //! reading about it is that you have an external Event which is used to signal //! I/O completion, passed around in some OVERLAPPED structures. As to what this //! is, I'm not exactly sure. //! //! This problem implies that all named pipes are created with the //! FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED option. This means that all of their I/O is //! asynchronous. Each I/O operation has an associated OVERLAPPED structure, and //! inside of this structure is a HANDLE from CreateEvent. After the I/O is //! determined to be pending (may complete in the future), the //! GetOverlappedResult function is used to block on the event, waiting for the //! I/O to finish. //! //! This scheme ended up working well enough. There were two snags that I ran //! into, however: //! //! * Each UnixStream instance needs its own read/write events to wait on. These //! can't be shared among clones of the same stream because the documentation //! states that it unsets the event when the I/O is started (would possibly //! corrupt other events simultaneously waiting). For convenience's sake, //! these events are lazily initialized. //! //! * Each server pipe needs to be created with FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED in addition //! to all pipes created through `connect`. Notably this means that the //! ConnectNamedPipe function is nonblocking, implying that the Listener needs //! to have yet another event to do the actual blocking. //! //! # Conclusion //! //! The conclusion here is that I probably don't know the best way to work with //! windows named pipes, but the solution here seems to work well enough to get //! the test suite passing (the suite is in libstd), and that's good enough for //! me! use std::c_str::CString;
