[zeromq-dev] zmq_term hanging

[Morten Møller Riis]

Hi guys

I'm having trouble catching SIGTERM and closing socket and context.

I have the following code (I've trimmed it down since a lot of other stuff is happening). I use the global variable term_flag to break the main loop when the program receives SIGTERM.

The problem is that when sending SIGTERM to the program it hangs at zmq_term(). Sending SIGTERM once more closes the program. Why is this happening?


int term_flag = 1;

void term(int signum)
{
    fprintf(log_fp, "Received %i, closing context and socket...\n", signum);
    fprintf(log_fp, "Exiting.\n");
    term_flag = 0;
}

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
  ...

  signal(SIGTERM, term);
  signal(SIGINT, term);

  …

  while(term_flag) {
    …
    rc = zmq_recv(zmq_sock, &msg, 0);
    if(rc!=0) break;
    …
  }

  zmq_close(zmq_sock);
  zmq_term(zmq_ctx); // hangs here
  ...  
  return 0;
}


Best regards
