Infinite Loop in t/accept.t

[circax]

When running the test accept.t, if the test for defined($sock) fails, then the loop in the child process has no bailout condition and will continue to run forever.

well, after the ok, it calls last if not defined, and then calls waitpid, so it shouldn't run forever... right?

[circax]

waitpid() will wait for the child process to be terminated (whether it does this itself or not), but the problem is that in the loop in the child process, there is a last() if($accepted), but nothing to break the loop if $accepted never becomes true. Therefore the loop never terminates if this doesn't occur, and the waitpid() in the parent will be stuck forever.

[frioux]

Ah, so you want a timeout basically, so that if accepted doesn't become true after, say, 15s, we exit the child. I think I can do that.

Ok, try https://github.com/ingydotnet/io-all-pm/tree/GH42. I think it should solve your issue. Let me know if it does and I'll get it merged and released soon.

This works; when the timeout occurs, the child process terminates and allows the rest of the tests to continue as expected.

Merged, will release at some point tonight.
