Windows apparently sends ERROR_BROKEN_PIPE when a pipe we're reading

[u/mdw/putty] / windows / winhandl.c

/*
 * winhandl.c: Module to give Windows front ends the general
 * ability to deal with consoles, pipes, serial ports, or any other
 * type of data stream accessed through a Windows API HANDLE rather
 * than a WinSock SOCKET.
 *
 * We do this by spawning a subthread to continuously try to read
 * from the handle. Every time a read successfully returns some
 * data, the subthread sets an event object which is picked up by
 * the main thread, and the main thread then sets an event in
 * return to instruct the subthread to resume reading.
 * 
 * Output works precisely the other way round, in a second
 * subthread. The output subthread should not be attempting to
 * write all the time, because it hasn't always got data _to_
 * write; so the output thread waits for an event object notifying
 * it to _attempt_ a write, and then it sets an event in return
 * when one completes.
 * 
 * (It's terribly annoying having to spawn a subthread for each
 * direction of each handle. Technically it isn't necessary for
 * serial ports, since we could use overlapped I/O within the main
 * thread and wait directly on the event objects in the OVERLAPPED
 * structures. However, we can't use this trick for some types of
 * file handle at all - for some reason Windows restricts use of
 * OVERLAPPED to files which were opened with the overlapped flag -
 * and so we must use threads for those. This being the case, it's
 * simplest just to use threads for everything rather than trying
 * to keep track of multiple completely separate mechanisms.)
