The new toolchain may (!) have fixed a longstanding bug in LLLeap / APR when
we try to pump large volumes of data through a Windows named pipe using APR
nonblocking I/O. This used to fail pretty consistently because the APR
nonblocking write call would sometimes spuriously return "would block" when in
fact the data buffer was completely written; the caller would later retry,
which of course would duplicate some of the data in the pipe. Preliminary
experiments with VS 2013 suggest this may have been resolved. This changeset
is to propagate the experiment to a wider range of Windows systems; we may
need to revert it if in fact the bug persists.

I've used boost::lambda with boost::function in a number of creative ways over
the years. But the clang 6 shipped with Xcode 6 seems to have somehow broken
lambda + function in Boost 1.57. boost::phoenix is a partial workaround.
Sadly, lambda's comma-operator overload doesn't seem to be supported,
necessitating a couple ugly workarounds.
With real lambdas now supported by current compilers, I'm sure the Boost
community has little incentive to repair the lambda + function problem.
Presumably we'll be able to use such features ourselves Real Soon Now...

This test must not be subject to spurious environmental failures, else some
kind soul will disable it entirely. We observe that APR specifies a hard-coded
buffer size of 64Kbytes for pipe creation -- use that and cross fingers.
|
|
Sigh, the rejoicing was premature.
|
|
If in fact we've managed to fix the APR bug writing to a Windows named pipe,
it should no longer be necessary to try to work around it by testing with a
much smaller data volume on Windows!
|
|
Ideally we'd love to be able to nail the underlying bug, but log output
suggests it may actually go all the way down to the OS level. To move forward,
try to bypass it.

We want to write a robust test that consistently works. On Windows, that
appears to require constraining the max message size. I, the coder, could try
submitting test runs of varying sizes to TC until I found a size that works...
but that could take quite a while. If I were clever, I might even use a manual
binary search. But computers are good at binary searching; there are even
prepackaged algorithms in the STL. If I were cleverer still, I could make the
test program itself search for size that works.

Apparently, at least on Mac, there are circumstances in which the very-large-
message test can take several times longer than normal, yet still complete
successfully. This is always the problem with timeouts: does timeout
expiration mean that the code in question is actually hung, or would it
complete if given a bit longer?
If very-large-message test fails, retry a few times with smaller sizes to try
to find a size at which the test runs reliably. The default size, ca 1MB, is
intended to be substantially larger than anything we'll encounter in the wild.
Is that "unreasonably" large? Is there a "reasonable" size at which the test
could consistently pass? Is that "reasonable" size still larger than what we
expect to encounter in practice? Need more information, hence this code.

It seems that under certain circumstances, write logic was duplicating a chunk
of the data being streamed down our pipe. But as this condition is only driven
with a very large data stream, eyeballing that data stream is tedious. Add
code to compare the raw received data with the expected stream, reporting
where and how they first differ.
|

While we're accumulating the 'length:' prefix, the present socket-based logic
reads 20 characters, then reads 'length' more, then discards any excess (in
case the whole 'length:data' packet ends up being less than 20 characters).
That's probably a bug: whatever characters follow that packet, however short
it may be, are probably the 'length:' prefix of the next packet. We probably
only get away with it because we probably never send packets that short.
Earlier llleap_test.cpp plugin logic still read 20 characters, then, if there
were any left after the present packet, cached them as the start of the next
packet. This is probably more correct, but complicated. Easier just to read
individual characters until we've seen 'length:', then try for exactly the
specified length over however many reads that requires.

In load testing, we have observed intermittent failures on Windows in which
LLSDNotationStreamer into std::ostringstream seems to bump into a hard limit
of 1048590 bytes. ostringstream reports that much buffered data and returns
that much -- even though, on examination, the notation-serialized stream is
incomplete at that point. It's our intention to load-test LLLeap and
LLProcess, not the local iostream implementation; we hope that this kind of
data volume is comfortably greater than actual usage. Back off the
load-testing max size a bit.

New llleap_test.cpp load testing turned up Windows issue in which plugin
process received corrupt packet, producing LLSDParseError. Add code to dump
the bad packet in that case -- but if LLSDParseError is willing to state the
offset of the problem, not ALL of the packet.
Quiet MSVC warning about little internal base class needing virtual destructor.

These tests rule out corruption as we cross buffer boundaries in OS pipes and
the LLLeap implementation itself.

It only took a few examples of trying to wrangle notation LLSD as string data
to illustrate how clumsy that is. I'd forgotten that a couple other TUT tests
already invoke Python code that depends on the llsd module. The trick is to
recognize that at least as of now, there's still an obsolete version of the
module in the viewer's own source tree. Python code is careful to try
importing llbase.llsd before indra.base.llsd, so that if/when we finally do
clear indra/lib/python from the viewer repo, we need only require that llbase
be installed on every build machine.

Migrate logic from specific test to common reader module, notably parsing the
wakeup message containing the reply-pump name.
Make test script post to Result struct to communicate success/failure to C++
TUT test, rather than just writing to log.
Make test script insensitive to key order in serialized LLSD::Map.
|
|
Instantiating LLLeap with a command to execute a particular child process sets
up machinery to speak LLSD Event API Plugin protocol with that child process.
LLLeap is an LLInstanceTracker subclass, so the code that instantiates need
not hold the pointer. LLLeap monitors child-process termination and deletes
itself when done.
