mkretzWhile implementing complex numbers for <a href="https://floss.social/tags/simd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#simd</a> I tripped over failures wrt. negative zero.

Felix Palmen :freebsd: :c64:This, btw, was yet another reminder of the horrible can of worms <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/stdio" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stdio</a>'s <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/buffering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#buffering</a> is.I created a little tool running as a child process to do the *actual* <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/PAM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PAM</a> authentication, so it will be possible to have this run as root while the real service drops all privileges. This little tool uses a simple line-based protocol for communication on stdin/stdout. It worked well when testing directly on the terminal.On the first real test though, my service just went hanging. 🙄 I suspected a deadlock caused by pthread mutexes. Wasted quite some time looking into that. Then I finally realized communication over the pipes was stalled.Ok, just set buffering mode to "line buffering" after fdopen'ing the <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/pipe" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pipe</a>. Turned out that didn't help either. I *assume* that even in the child process, the stdio streams automatically created on the pipes were somehow fully buffered. But at that point, I was really fed up with trial and error and rewrote the whole mess to do I/O using plain <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/POSIX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#POSIX</a> APIs (read, write), sidestepping any buffering. Worked like a charm. 🙈 <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/C" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#C</a> <a href="https://mastodon.bsd.cafe/tags/coding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#coding</a>
