ID: 47192 Comment by: fmassei at gmail dot com Reported By: fmassei at gmail dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: linux PHP Version: 5.2.8 New Comment:
well, it actually IS a bug, as long as the "pcntl_" functions are not working as described for this function only. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-01-24 23:55:06] [email protected] No, it's a change request since this function is not designed to do what you ask. Not everything is a bug.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-01-23 13:52:04] fmassei at gmail dot com Somehow I posted this bug in the wrong category. It's not a "Feature/Change Request" but more a "Network related" bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-01-22 18:13:35] fmassei at gmail dot com Description: ------------ gethostbyname() is not interruptible by signals. If it cannot resolve an hostname there is no way it can be interrupted except for a SIGKILL. Reproduce code: --------------- declare(ticks=1); function al($sig) { echo $sig; exit(0); } pcntl_signal(SIGINT, "al"); pcntl_signal(SIGTERM, "al"); pcntl_signal(SIGALRM, "al"); pcntl_alarm(3); echo gethostbyname("google.com"); Expected result: ---------------- I was expected to interrupt gethostbyname() with any signal. Actual result: -------------- When running the above code, if the system cannot resolve google's hostname, the function blocks and doesn't respond to any signal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47192&edit=1
