为什么os.path.exists()阻止命名管道的Windows连接?

似乎通过使用os.path.exists()成功测试了名为pipe的窗口是否存在,阻止了该管道正常工作。为什么会这样?

此处成功运行Windows命名管道代码:

import time
import multiprocessing as mp
import win32pipe, win32file

PIPENAME = r'\\.\pipe\Foo'

def producer(pipe_name: str):
    print('producer')
#    if not os.path.exists(pipe_name):
#        print(f'No pipe {pipe_name}')
#        return
    pipe = win32file.CreateFile(pipe_name,
                                win32file.GENERIC_READ | win32file.GENERIC_WRITE,  # dwDesiredAccess
                                0,  # dwShareMode
                                None,  # lpSecurityAttributes
                                win32file.OPEN_EXISTING,  # dwCreationDisposition
                                0,  # dwFlagsAndAttributes
                                None
                                )
    win32pipe.SetNamedPipeHandleState(pipe, win32pipe.PIPE_READMODE_MESSAGE, None, None)
    win32file.WriteFile(pipe, b'foobar')


def receiver(pipe_name: str):
    print('receiver')
    pipe = win32pipe.CreateNamedPipe(pipe_name,
                                     win32pipe.PIPE_ACCESS_DUPLEX,
                                     win32pipe.PIPE_TYPE_MESSAGE | win32pipe.PIPE_READMODE_MESSAGE | win32pipe.PIPE_WAIT,
                                     1,  # nMaxInstances
                                     65536,  # nOutBufferSize
                                     65536,  # nInBufferSize
                                     0, # 50ms timeout (the default)
                                     None) # securityAttributes
    win32pipe.ConnectNamedPipe(pipe)
    msg = win32file.ReadFile(pipe, 65536)
    print(f'msg: {msg}')

if __name__ == '__main__':
    recv_p = mp.Process(target=receiver, args=(PIPENAME,))
    prod_p = mp.Process(target=producer, args=(PIPENAME,))
    recv_p.start()
    time.sleep(0.1)
    prod_p.start()
    prod_p.join()
    recv_p.join()enter code here

这按预期方式工作,接收者打印收到的消息。

但是,如果生产者中的三行注释未注释,则os.path.exists(pipe_name)调用将以某种方式中断管道,使输出变为:

receiver
producer
Process Process-2:
Process Process-1:

为什么os.path.exists会中断名为管道的窗口?

我已经排除了python多处理库。我尝试过os.path.exists之后的延迟。

这对我来说不是一个阻碍性的问题,但我很好奇。

答案 0 :(得分:1)

os.path.exists 委托给 os.stat,而在 Windows 上,os.stat 尝试open 文件:

hFile = CreateFileW(path, access, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, flags, NULL);

然后它关闭文件。此时,除非服务器端先调用DisconnectNamedPipe,否则客户端无法重新打开管道,这在这段代码中不会发生。此外,当服务器端尝试从管道读取时,它会从 os.stat 的连接尝试中读取数据,这会关闭管道而不写入任何数据。

我认为这是一个错误。 os.stat 不应该有这样的副作用。
