[Syncevolution-issues] [Bug 8384] syncevo-dbus-server froze (pthread_cond_wait in ecal)

http://bugzilla.moblin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8384 --- Comment #1 from pohly <patrick.ohly(a)intel.com&gt; 2009-12-02 04:29:25 PST --- (In reply to comment #0) This very much looks like a but in libecal. There's hardly anything that a caller can do wrong when calling e_cal_open(). Can you reproduce it? If so, please use "thread apply all bt" to get stack backtraces. libecal uses multithreading internally. Also check whether evolution-data-server has crashed. That is a know problem, because all synchronous ecal/ebook calls hang in that case with Bonobo-based EDS. I've tried various approaches of dealing with this in SyncEvolution over time, but it all boiled down to one thing: if EDS or ecal/ebook fail in this way, the process pretty much has to be restarted. I'm not sure how to do that with syncevo-dbus-server. A watch dog inside the main process which does an exec() of itself? Putting each backend into its own process and use IPC with timeouts? Note that the "own process" approach might also become necessary at some point anyway, once we have backends with conflicting libraries. Not the case right now. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.moblin.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are watching someone on the CC list of the bug.
