/* Test of connect() behavior when interrupted */

/* David Madore <david.madore@ens.fr> - 2003-04-25 - Public Domain */

/* This program forks to two processes: the father process does
 * nothing but continuously send USR1 signals to the child process,
 * and dies when the latter exits.  The child process ignores USR1
 * signals, but they will likely cause interrupted system calls.  The
 * child process attempts to connect to CONNECT_ADDRESS on
 * CONNECT_PORT.  The goal is to produce an interrupted system call on
 * connect() to check its behavior.  Therefore, as long as this does
 * not occurr, the child process will close the connection as soon as
 * it succeeds, and try again (up to GIVEUP attempts will be made).
 * Once connect() is interrupted, there are two possible tests: if
 * TEST_TWO is set to 1, the program will poll() for completion of the
 * asynchronous connection attempt that SUSv3 prescribes will then
 * take place; if TEST_TWO is undefined or set to 0, the program will
 * retry the connect() call with the same arguments, and persist while
 * the latter returns EINTR (if it does). */

/* Please define CONNECT_ADDRESS to the IP address of some web server
 * (if possible, one which will not respond too rapidly - but not too
 * slowly either). */

/* If we read the SUSv3 to the letter, the following output should be
 * produced (assuming CONNECT_ADDRESS has been set to 216.239.33.99):
 * with TEST_TWO, "Will try to connect to 216.239.33.99 on port
 * 80\n(connect has been interrupted and now completed
 * successfully)\n"; and without TEST_TWO, "Will try to connect to
 * 216.239.33.99 on port 80\n(connect had been interrupted and now
 * produced an error)\nconnect: Operation already in progress\n" (I
 * think this behavior is utterly stupid, but SUSv3 does seem to
 * require it!). */

/* On Linux, without TEST_TWO, we get "Will try to connect to
 * 216.239.33.99 on port 80\n(connect has been interrupted and now
 * completed successfully)\n" (the same as with TEST_TWO).  On FreeBSD
 * and OpenBSD, we get "Will try to connect to 216.239.33.99 on port
 * 80\n(connect had been interrupted and now produced an
 * error)\nconnect: Adress already in use\n".  On Solaris, we get the
 * per-spec required behavior described above.  All systems function
 * as expected when TEST_TWO is set. */
