This is a bug report for perl from noah@leadboat.com,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.42 running under perl 5.32.1.
Steps to Reproduce
Test program:
#! /usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32 ();
use Win32::Process ();
use Win32::ShellQuote ();
use Win32API::File qw(
FdGetOsFHandle
SetHandleInformation
HANDLE_FLAG_INHERIT
);
$| = 1;
# Ensure win32sck.c::my_close() takes the wsock_started path, which is needed to
# witness the bug. This program doesn't otherwise use sockets.
require Socket;
# Make an inheritable w32 handle for the read end of a pipe.
pipe my $read_fh, my $write_fh;
my $read_h = FdGetOsFHandle fileno($read_fh);
SetHandleInformation($read_h, HANDLE_FLAG_INHERIT, 1);
# Source code for a kid that receives the handle and reads from it.
my $kid_program = <<\_EOPERL;
use Win32API::File qw(OsFHandleOpen);
$| = 1;
my $h = shift;
print "kid start handle=$h\n";
close STDIN;
OsFHandleOpen(\*STDIN, $h, 'r')
or die "$! opening STDIN as Win32 handle $h in $$";
# sleep 2; # effective workaround: give parent time to close($read_fh)
print "gotline: $_" while (<>); # hangs (non-bug or not the bug being reported)
print "(unreachable) kid exit\n";
_EOPERL
# Start that kid.
my $process;
Win32::Process::Create(
$process,
$^X,
Win32::ShellQuote::quote_native($^X, '-e', $kid_program, $read_h),
1, ## Inherit handles
0, ## Inherit parent priority class
".",
)
or do {
my $err = Win32::FormatMessage( Win32::GetLastError() );
die "$err: Win32::Process::Create()";
};
sleep 1; # give kid time to block on the pipe read
print "before close(\$read_fh) in $$\n";
if ($ENV{USE_WORKAROUND}) {
# dup2() does a close()-like operation internally. Since that does not route
# through win32sck.c::my_close(), it bypasses any bug there. This workaround
# replaces the pipe FD with a non-pipe FD, and closing the non-pipe FD is
# uneventful.
require POSIX;
POSIX::dup2(2, fileno $read_fh);
}
close $read_fh; # without workaround, hangs forever (bug)
print "after close(\$read_fh)\n";
print $write_fh "foo\n";
close $write_fh;
print "parent exit\n";Expected behavior
I expected to see a line saying "parent exit", but the last output line
started with "before close". Setting USE_WORKAROUND=1 in the environment
makes the program reach "parent exit", achieving that expectation. I
distilled the test program from cpan-authors/IPC-Run#77.

I think frame 6 is actually in my_close(), and the lack of debug symbols makes
that not show up here. win32_socket() is immediately before my_close() in the
source code.
Possible fixes
This trouble arises because my_close() assumes closesocket() will always
report WSAENOTSOCK for a non-socket. The first paragraph of the closesocket
documentation remarks says not to rely on that. A robust fix would be to
maintain a data structure recording the FDs Perl has assigned to sockets, then
call closesocket() only for FDs appearing therein. One alternative would be
to use strategies like https://stackoverflow.com/q/50979090 to evaluate
whether a descriptor is a socket. That alternative may be simpler or more
efficient, but it's harder to cite API documentation supporting an expectation
that it will continue to work.
