写入关闭的套接字未按预期引发SIGPIPE

Question

I've already read about how to prevent SIGPIPE , then I write a small program to test it. Here is the code.

server.c

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <signal.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>

void hdl(int sig_num, siginfo_t *sig_info, void *context)
{
    printf("got you, SIGPIPE!\n");
}

int main()
{
    int sfd, cfd;
    struct sockaddr_in saddr, caddr;


    struct sigaction act;

    memset (&act, '\0', sizeof(act));
    act.sa_sigaction = hdl;
    act.sa_flags = SA_SIGINFO;

    if (sigaction(SIGPIPE, &act, NULL) < 0) {
        return 1;
    }

    sfd= socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
    saddr.sin_family=AF_INET;
    saddr.sin_addr.s_addr=inet_addr("192.168.22.91");
    saddr.sin_port=htons(12345);

    if(bind(sfd, (struct sockaddr *)&saddr, sizeof(saddr)) )
    {
        printf("bind error\n");
        return -1;
    }
    if(listen(sfd, 1))
    {
        printf("error\n");
        return -1;
    }

    char buf[1024] = {0};
    while(1) {
            printf("Server listening...\n");
            cfd=accept(sfd, (struct sockaddr *)NULL, NULL);

            fcntl(cfd, F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK);
            int size = read(cfd, buf, 1024);

            if(size == -1)
                printf("read error\n");

            sleep(2); // sleep for a while to make sure the client closed the socket

            int ret;
            if((ret = write(cfd, buf, strlen(buf)))<0)
            {
                if(errno == EPIPE)
                    fprintf(stderr, "SIGPIPE");
            }

            ret = write(cfd, buf, strlen(buf)); // write again.
            printf("write return %d\n", ret);
    }
    close(sfd);
}

client.c

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <assert.h>


int main()
{
    int ret, fd;
    struct sockaddr_in sa_dst;
    char buffer[] = "hello, world";
    char rcv_buf[128] = {0};

    fd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);

    memset(&sa_dst, 0, sizeof(struct sockaddr_in));
    sa_dst.sin_family = AF_INET;
    sa_dst.sin_port = htons(12345);
    sa_dst.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("192.168.22.91"); 

    ret = connect(fd, (struct sockaddr *)&sa_dst, sizeof(struct sockaddr));
    if(ret != -1)
    {
        send(fd, buffer, strlen(buffer), 0);
        close(fd);
    }
    return 0;
}

When I run the server and the client on the same linux machine, on the server side, the first write() returns the number of bytes written while I expect a SIGPIPE signal because I closed the socket on the client side, the second write() does generate a SIGPIPE signal.
But when I ran the client on another linux machine or on a Windows machine(implement the same client with Winsock), I did't catch any SIGPIPE signal, and the second write() still returns the size of the buffer . Can someone tell me what's going on?

Answer 1

It can't happen on the first write, for two reasons:

1. The localhost doesn't know that the peer has closed the socket for reading. A FIN has been received but that could just be because the peer has shutdown for output. Only an RST will tell it that, and it doesn't get that util the next I/O at the earliest.
2. Buffering.

NB you're corrupting the value of errno by calling perror(), so testing it afterwards isn't valid.

Answer 2

Just Change this in SERVER and it will work

        fcntl(cfd, F_SETFL, O_NONBLOCK);
        int size = read(cfd, buf, 1024);

        if(size == -1)
            printf("read error\n");

        sleep(2); // sleep for a while to make sure the client closed the socket

        int ret;
           ret = write(cfd, buf, strlen(buf));
         sleep(2);
        ret = write(cfd, buf, strlen(buf)); // write again.
        printf("write return %d\n", ret);
