[Libevent-users] Problems handling sigpipe in multithreaded program

[Ron Arts]

Hi all,

I am having problems with sigpipe handling.
According to what I've read, if I ignore pipe signals
before creating threads, all created threads will
inherit this setting and ignore the sigpipes as well.

My program's main thread uses libevent like this:


   sa.sa_handler = SIG_IGN;
   sa.sa_flags   = 0;
   sigemptyset(&sa.sa_mask);
   sigaction(SIGPIPE, &sa, NULL);

   // libraries
   event_init();
   g_thread_init(NULL);

   //create threads here
   fork();
   event_dispatch();

But I still get occasional SIGPIPE errors which kill
my program. These always happen in bufferevent_write,


What can I do to solve this?

Thanks,
Ron
