My Linux application sis using
bool::asio::read_until() to read data from a socket. The
application also uses commercial, 3rd party
hardware. Occasionally my program crashes due to a SIGSEGV
violation.
The core dump stack trace is shown below.
It indicates that the 3rd party signal handler is
invoked while my thread is waiting for socket I/O, and that
the crash is occurring during signal handler execution.
While I recognize that this is an issue
with the 3rd party vendor (and I am currently
engaged in discussions with them), I’m wondering if my usage
of boost is incorrect, or if there is something that I should
be doing differently in performing socket I/O?
