* fixes #568 Want a single reader/write lock on socket child objectsGarrett D'Amore2018-07-06
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fixes #170 Make more use of reaper This is a complete restructure/rethink of how child objects interact with the socket. (This also backs out #576 as it turns out not to be needed.) While 568 says reader/writer lock, for now we have settled for a single writer lock. Its likely that this is sufficient. Essentially we use the single socket lock to guard lists of the socket children. We also use deferred deletion in the idhash to facilitate teardown, which means endpoint closes are no longer synchronous. We use the reaper to clean up objects when the reference count drops to zero. We make a special exception for pipes, since they really are not reference counted by their parents, and they are leaf objects anyway. We believe this addresses the main outstanding race conditions in a much more correct and holistic way. Note that endpoint shutdown is a little tricky, as it makes use of atomic flags to guard against double entry, and against recursive lock entry. This is something that would be nice to make a bit more obvious, but what we have is safe, and the complexity is at least confined to one place.
* fixes #522 Separate out the endpoint plumbingGarrett D'Amore2018-06-27
This separates the plumbing for endpoints into distinct dialer and listeners. Some of the transports could benefit from further separation, but we've done some rather larger separation e.g. for the websocket transport. IPC would be a good one to update later, when we start looking at exposing a more natural underlying API.
