Moved the generic list-growing function into util.c so that the

[rsync/rsync-patches.git] / threaded-receiver.diff

This patch changes the receiving side to have the receiving code use a thread
instead of a forked process.  This extra thread does read from the socket, but
it sends any stdout/stderr messages to the generator (main thread) to output.

** This is very new code. **  Yes, it passes the "make test" testsuite, but
there may still be some problems, especially in some of the untested features.
(For one thing, I haven't yet added code to properly handle any keep-alive
messages that arrive on the receiving side during the --delete-after phase!)

This code just uses pthread.h directly, so configure changes will probably be
needed to make this compatible with more systems.  I have also tested that
this code works fine using the GNU pth library without any code changes if
you configured it with --enable-syscall-soft --enable-pthread (you may need
to twiddle the Makefile options if you didn't install the library, though).

NOTE: we still need to duplicate the partial_fname static in util.c!

If you try this out, please send some email to wayned@samba.org or the rsync
mailing list with your results, build changes, bug reports, etc.  Thanks!

After applying this patch, run these commands for a successful build:

    ./prepare-source
    ./configure                      (optional if already run)
