Socket not closed, when GhidraBridge Object gets out of scope about ghidra_bridge HOT 5 OPEN

I'm assuming that decode error is from the same code as the user who opened justfoxing/jfx_bridge#17 , yeah? If not, would love to see your code as well. Let's handle the debugging for that one in that issue.

The exact time when the bridge socket gets closed is a bit messy - it happens when there's no references left to the bridge, and any bridged object will maintain a reference. If you're keeping something like remote_ghidra to use outside the block, the bridge it came over will stay alive as well. (Also, it's entirely possible I left bugs here - there's a strong potential for cyclic dependencies that would result in things living forever).

It sounds like there's a range of issues here, with not enough info for me to see what's going on. My recommendation would be to not create multiple ghidra_bridges - instead, alter your code so that the first time you create a bridge, you keep it around to use for subsequent operations. Then, if you have issues after that, I'd love to be able to see your code as well as the error - that'd help me be able to give better advice.

First, thanks for your fast reply

Right, some communication error.

The exact time when the bridge socket gets closed is a bit messy - it happens when there's no references left to the bridge, and any bridged object will maintain a reference. If you're keeping something like remote_ghidra to use outside the block, the bridge it came over will stay alive as well. (Also, it's entirely possible I left bugs here - there's a strong potential for cyclic dependencies that would result in things living forever).

I will refactor the code such, that I will keep one ghidra bridge alive and see if I still experience these hangs. If yes, I will try to provide code to reproduce it.

Regarding, the opened sockets. If you execute this code multiple times in a jupyter notebook, the sockets are note closed, and a new one is opened on each execution.

import ghidra_bridge
import logging as log

def long_runing_function():
    ret = []
    for i in range(100):
        ret.append(i)

    return ret



bridge = ghidra_bridge.GhidraBridge(
                response_timeout=3600,
                interactive_mode=False,
                loglevel=log.DEBUG
        )
remote_function = bridge.remoteify(long_runing_function)

ret = remote_function()

Let's discuss the decode error in issue justfoxing/jfx_bridge#17

Alternatively, you could try wrapping the bridge creation in something a little like the following, so that it only ever gets run once, regardless of how many times its cell is rerun.

try:
    if bridge is None:
        raise Exception()
except Exception:
    bridge = ghidra_bridge.GhidraBridge(...)
