Dear community, dear experts!
I am trying to use boost::process to call weasyprint to convert HTML to
a picture.
To do that I wrote a test program (further down in the mail).
This worked fine and did what i expected.
But it stopped working as soon as I tried to convert two files at the
same time by changing
new renderer_t(io_context, "<head></head><body></body>");
in main to
new renderer_t(io_context, "<head></head><body></body>");
new renderer_t(io_context, "<head></head><body></body>");
Now weasyprint hangs.
I changed the call to weasyprint to weasyprint2, which is a short bash
script for testing purposes:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#! /bin/bash
cat > /dev/null
echo "This should be a PNG picture"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It reads stdin until it gets EOF and then writes something to stdout
before terminating.
Same result.
It seems that my program does not close stdin of the child, so it never
gets EOF on stdin.
But only when more than one child process is running at the same time.
So obviously I am doing something wrong, but I have no idea what!
Does anybody have a hint for me?
I am on xubuntu 20.10

boost version 1.75.0
compiler command line (from my IDE):
g++ -c main.cpp -g -O0 -Wall -Wextra -std=c++17 -o
