[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #47614] pipe() does not work on Windows

[John Donoghue]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #47614 (project octave):

On my system -compiling octave 4.0.1, with a patch similar to Mikes, but
directly added to octave_syscalls::pipe , it works for me.


>> [a, b] = pipe ()
a =  3
b =  4
>> fputs (b, "Hello world\n\n\n\n")
ans = 0
>> fflush (b)
ans = 0
>> result = fgets (a)
result = Hello world


I did notice that if not enough newlines are added, it gets stuck in the fgets
and the olnly way to exit is ctrl-c to terminate octave.

fgets trying to buffer the reads?


It did use the gnulib version with the patch?
