c - 未检测到 Windows CreateProcess 退出

Question

我正在尝试使用单独的进程来完成一些工作。在 Windows 版本中，我使用 CreateProcess 启动它并正常重定向标准输入/标准输出(继承的匿名管道)。管道工作；但是，当子进程退出时，父进程会挂起读取调用。

父进程如何知道子进程已经退出？我认为 ReadFile 应该在子进程退出时立即返回一个损坏的管道错误。

用于创建具有重定向输入和输出的子进程的 Windows 示例代码具有相同的问题，因此我将其作为 MCVE 发布。也可在 https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windows/desktop/ms682499 获得

这是子进程代码:

#include <windows.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#define BUFSIZE 4096 

int main(void) 
{ 
   CHAR chBuf[BUFSIZE]; 
   DWORD dwRead, dwWritten; 
   HANDLE hStdin, hStdout; 
   BOOL bSuccess; 

   hStdout = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE); 
   hStdin = GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE); 
   if ( 
       (hStdout == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) || 
       (hStdin == INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE) 
      ) 
      ExitProcess(1); 

   // Send something to this process's stdout using printf.
   printf("\n ** This is a message from the child process. ** \n");

   // This simple algorithm uses the existence of the pipes to control execution.
   // It relies on the pipe buffers to ensure that no data is lost.
   // Larger applications would use more advanced process control.

   for (;;) 
   { 
   // Read from standard input and stop on error or no data.
      bSuccess = ReadFile(hStdin, chBuf, BUFSIZE, &dwRead, NULL); 

      if (! bSuccess || dwRead == 0) 
         break; 

   // Write to standard output and stop on error.
      bSuccess = WriteFile(hStdout, chBuf, dwRead, &dwWritten, NULL); 

      if (! bSuccess) 
         break; 
   } 
   return 0;
}

这是执行的输出。问题是父级从未检测到子级退出，因此永远不会完成。

->Start of parent execution.

->Contents of E:\Development\test\redirect\Debug/data.txt written to child STDIN
 pipe.

->Contents of child process STDOUT:

+ This is a test of windows pipes.
+ This is only a test.
 ** This is a message from the child process. **

Answer 1

I thought ReadFile was supposed to immediately return a broken pipe error when the child exits.

不完全是。当管道的另一端关闭时它立即返回，这在最后一个句柄关闭时立即发生。

父进程没有关闭它的句柄副本。就 Windows 而言，父进程中的另一个线程可能正计划写入该句柄，因此 ReadFile 会继续等待它的发生。

所以创建子进程后，关闭句柄:

CloseHandle(g_hChildStd_OUT_Wr);

PS:您可以通过等待进程句柄来显式检查进程是否已退出。但是使用管道通常更容易、更有效。
