![]() When opening the write end of a fifo that doesn't have a reader already, the old implementation could allow writing bytes that are discarded. This new implementation uses a blocking `open` in a `pthread`, and that way the write routines know whether the stream is ready for writing or not. The difference is visible in the Racket API in a two places: `subprocess` needs to wait until a fifo writer is connected before attempting to dup the corresponding file descriotor, and more generally a use of `unsafe-port->file-descriptor` needs to wait. The former blocking operation is now build into `subprocess` (and documented), but the burden is place on callers of `unsafe-port->file-descriptor` to wait is necessary. The new `port-waiting-peer?` predicate exposes the waiting state, while `sync` is sufficient to wait for a peer. Closes #2784 |

This is the source code for the core of Racket. See "INSTALL.txt" for full information on building Racket.
To build the full Racket distribution from this repository, run make
in the top-level directory. To build minimal Racket, run make base
.
The rest of the Racket distribution source code is in other repositories, mostly under the Racket GitHub organization.
