我已经阅读了大约50篇关于这个主题的帖子和教程，我已经复制，编写和测试了大约20个替代方案，并完成了我能想到的每一项可能的研究。尽管如此，我还没有看到针对以下问题的解决方案：
父进程A想要将数据传递给外部进程B，让进程B修改数据并将其传递回父进程A，然后继续父进程A.进程B是我拥有的外部程序套件的一部分没有影响，通常在UNIX命令行上运行：
< input_data program_B1 | program_B2 | program_B3 > output_data
...其中
input_data，output_data：在程序B1-B3
中处理的一些数据program_B1，B2，B3：从stdin（fread）读取数据并输出到stdout（fwrite）并对数据应用一些处理的程序。
所以，按顺序：
（1）父进程A将数据传递给子进程B
（2）子进程B读取数据并对其进行修改
（3）子进程B将数据传递回父进程A
（4）父进程A读取数据并继续（例如将其进一步传递给进程B2 ..）。
（5）父进程A将另一个数据集传递给子进程B等。
问题是，无论我做什么，程序几乎总是最终挂在读取/ fread（或写/ fwrite？）上或从管道。
需要注意的一件重要事情是父进程在将数据传递给子进程后不能简单地关闭管道，因为它在循环中工作并且希望在完成处理后将另一组数据传递给子进程第一集。
这是一组有用的父/子程序（使用g ++ pipe_parent.cc -o pipe_parent，g ++ pipe_child.cc -o pipe_child编译），说明未命名管道的问题。我也尝试过命名管道，但不是那么广泛。每次执行都可能会有不同的结果。如果父项中省略了 sleep 语句，或者子项中省略了 fflush（）语句，则管道几乎肯定会阻塞。如果要传递的数据量增加，它将始终独立于sleep或fflush进行阻止。

有没有办法检查管道何时有足够的数据可供读取？或者有没有其他方法可以解决上述问题，有无管道？
请帮忙！
答案 0 :(得分：0)
阅读时最好的解决方案是检查select是否可以从管道中读取。你甚至可以通过超时。替代方案可能是使用O_NONBLOCK在文件描述符0（stdin）上设置fcntl标志，但我认为select方式更好。
与确保非阻塞写入一样：由于您不知道在管道阻塞之前可以写多少，这有点困难。一种方式（我觉得非常难看）只能写1个字节的块，然后再次检查select是否可以写。但这将成为性能杀手，所以只有在沟通中的表现不成问题时才使用。
答案 1 :(得分：0)
第一个答案（使用select来确定是否已准备好读取管道）很好但是并没有真正解决我的问题，另请参阅我以前的评论。迟早我总是得到一个“竞争条件”，程序一直挂在read或write上。
解决方案（可能不是唯一的解决方案？）是在不同的线程中运行子到父数据传输。我还回去并将管道实现为命名管道。它可能也适用于未命名的管道，但我没有检查。
最终代码如下。请注意，不需要显式刷新;现在，父子对子和子对父母的数据传输已经解耦。任何评论如何改进这一点欢迎！我可以看到的一个遗留问题是管道可能会填满，具体取决于孩子处理数据所需的时间。我不确定这种情况发生的可能性。顺便说一句，这对我的外部程序很好，不仅仅是提供的子程序。
