"Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe."解决

原文地址：http://blog.chinaunix.net/uid-24830931-id-3786670.html

一、现象描述

在利用librdkafka同kafka broker通信过程中，当kafka broker意外退出时（如kill -9），librdkafka接口的sendmsg接口报出了“Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe.” 这个错误具有典型性，根据网络搜索的结果，这个一般是由于向一个被破坏的socket连接或者pipe读写数据造成的，向有经验的同事请教，他们说这种场景不会出现SIGPIPE信号，而是直接send， write， sendmsg等返回-1，同时errno会被设置成EPIPE。

实践是检验真理的唯一标准，找个例子一试便知。

二、例子程序

为了快速检验，从网上上借了一个简单的客户端、服务器程序， http://hi.baidu.com/dlpucat/item/97ab75c5243b8761f6c95d75 ，多谢原作者。

         if (ret == -1 && errno == EPIPE){
       printf("receive sigpipe\n");
     }
   }

   close(client_socket);
   return 0;
 }

三、重现方法

step 1）编译： gcc -o server server.c
          gcc -o -g client client.c （通过gdb直接看到异常退出）

step 2）启动服务器端：./server

step 3) 启动客户端： （这里假设客户端和服务器部署在同一台服务器 ） gdb ./client 
(gdb) r 127.0.0.1

step 4) 观察正常运行结果：首先是客户端收到服务器端的消息：From Server 127.0.0.1 : Hello,World from server!
         然后是服务器端每隔1s收到客户端的消息： Hello, World! From Client

step 5）通过ctrl+c关闭服务器端

step 6）观察客户端结果
Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe.
0x0000003a7fcd55f5 in send () from /lib64/libc.so.6

重现了！！

四、解决办法

解决办法很多，也很简单。

4.1 client中忽略SIGPIPE信号

点击(此处)折叠或打开

 signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN);

4.2 阻止SIGPIPE信号（后来追查，原来同事的程序框架中已经有了这种机制，所以没有经历过程序退出的问题）

点击(此处)折叠或打开

 sigset_t set;
 sigemptyset(&set);
 sigaddset(&set, SIGPIPE);
 sigprocmask(SIG_BLOCK, &set, NULL);

4.3  为SIGPIPE添加信号处理函数，处理完程序继续执行

点击(此处)折叠或打开

 signal(SIGPIPE, pipesig_handler);

多种选择，总有一款适合您
