Using shared memory for sending data form library to daemon about dlt-daemon HOT 13 CLOSED

@Manojcv55 Could you add explanation to this issue raised? Especially I need to understand your use case. Moreover, please take a look at #90.

from dlt-daemon.

Hi @ssugiura
Currently we are using integrity OS. Where file operations are costlier. So we trying to find alternative IPC mechanism (shared memory) instead of creating pipe.
is there a way for using shared memory as IPC mechanism (sending payload and header)?

from dlt-daemon.

@mvaradaraj Currently, DLT does not support shared memory as IPC for sending payload and header (only for payload is supported). Refer to #90 for more information.
BTW, Will the UNIX_SOCKET as IPC improve in your use case? Could you please give it a try? compile with -DDLT_IPC=UNIX_SOCKET.

@Manojcv55 @mvaradaraj As reported by @votrungchi , currently we don't support shared memory as IPC and we don't have any plan to extend the feature.
Also, could you check if @votrungchi 's suggestion would work?

@Manojcv55 @mvaradaraj Any update from your side?

from dlt-daemon.

@ssugiura Yes @votrungchi suggestions worked , but when applications using dlt comes first and then dlt-daaemon comes there is missing of logs . Could you please suggest anything on this issue

from dlt-daemon.

@Manojcv55 Sorry for my late response. Could you give me the reproduction steps? Ideally, it should work, as library and daemon has their own internal buffer to store the logs when daemon/client is not available. If it reaches to the maximum size of each buffer, then it will rotate to overwrite old log messages.

@ssugiura how many sockets will create if i use socket dlt version ?

from dlt-daemon.

@Manojcv55 It will create one socket per DLT user.
With FIFO daemon will create two pipes for logging and controlling:

On the other hand there is only one socket for unix socket:

@ssugiura I've never seen that issue. Does dlt-daemon internal log tells you anything? Sharing us the log itself would be very helpful.

@Manojcv55 Any update on this? Having dlt-daemon internal logs will help us to proceed.

from dlt-daemon.

Closing the issue since there's no update for long time. @Manojcv55 @mvaradaraj Please reopen this issue if the issue is not solved and you need any help from us. As written in previous comment, dlt-daemon internal logs would help us to understand the behavior. Thank you!
