nickva opened a new pull request #662: Make couch_event_sup:stop/1 synchronous URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb/pull/662 Because `stop/1` is asynchronous, and casts a stop message and as result the client process could end getting killed during termination/cleanup phase if this sequence of events took place: 1. Client calls `stop(ListerPid).` 2. couch_event_sup casts a `stop` message to couch_event_sup gen_server 3. `stop` message is delayed and client continues executing. 4. Client calls something like application:stop/1`. 5. `application:stop/1` terminates couch_event_sup gen_server. 6. App termination kills client process because it is still linked. So this make the stop synchrounous by using call instead of cast. Issue #644 ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
