This actually catches a lot of bugs to do with stream termination and
``MsgStream.subscribe()`` usage where the underlying stream closes from
the producer side. When this passes the broadcaster logic will have to
ensure non-lossy fan out semantics and closure tracking.
Without this wakeup you can have tasks which re-enter `.receive()`
and get stuck waiting on the wakeup event indefinitely. Whenever
a ``trio.EndOfChannel`` arrives we want to make sure all consumers
at least know about it and don't block. This previous behaviour was
basically a bug.
Add some state flags for tracking if the broadcaster was either
cancelled or terminated via EOC mostly for testing and debugging
purposes though this info might be useful if we decide to offer
a `.statistics()` like API in the future.
This commit obviously denotes a re-license of all applicable parts of
the code base. Acknowledgement of this change was completed in #274 by
the majority of the current set of contributors. From here henceforth
all changes will be AGPL licensed and distributed. This is purely an
effort to maintain the same copy-left policy whilst closing the
(perceived) SaaS loophole the GPL allows for. It is merely for this
loophole: to avoid code hiding by any potential "network providers" who
are attempting to use the project to make a profit without either
compensating the authors or re-distributing their changes.
I thought quite a bit about this change and can't see a reason not to
close the SaaS loophole in our current license. We still are (hard)
copy-left and I plan to keep the code base this way for a couple
reasons:
- The code base produces income/profit through parent projects and is
demonstrably of high value.
- I believe firms should not get free lunch for the sake of
"contributions from their employees" or "usage as a service" which
I have found to be a dubious argument at best.
- If a firm who intends to profit from the code base wants to use it
they can propose a secondary commercial license to purchase with the
proceeds going to the project's authors under some form of well
defined contract.
- Many successful projects like Qt use this model; I see no reason it
can't work in this case until such a time as the authors feel it
should be loosened.
There has been detailed discussion in #103 on licensing alternatives.
The main point of this AGPL change is to protect the code base for the
time being from exploitation while it grows and as we move into the next
phase of development which will include extension into the multi-host
distributed software space.
If we make it too fast a nursery with debug mode children can cancel
too fast and causes some test failures. It's likely not a huge deal
anyway since the purpose of this poll/check is for human interaction
and the current delay isn't really that noticeable.
Decrease log levels in the debug module to avoid console noise when in
use. Toss in some more detailed comments around the new debugger lock
points.
It turns out recent improvements have made the debugger too good
so we need to just terminate the continue loop in this test when
we finally see the "spawn error" crash out because the breakpoint
forever case will literally, continue forever XD
A context method handling all this logic makes the most sense since it
contains all the state related to whether the error should be raised in
a nursery scope or is expected to be raised by a consumer task which
reads and processes the msg directly (via a `Portal` API call). This
also makes it easy to always process remote errors even when there is no
(stream) overrun condition.
A context stream overrun should normally never take place since if
a stream is opened (via ``Context.open_stream()``) backpressure is
applied on the message buffer (unless explicitly disabled by the
``backpressure=False`` flag) such that an overrun on the receiving task
should result in blocking the (remote) sender task (eventually depending
on the underlying ``MsgStream`` transport).
Here we add a special error message that reports if one side never
opened a stream and let's the user know in the overrun error message
that they may be trying to push messages to a task that isn't ready to
receive them.
Further fixes / details:
- pop any `Context` at the end of any `_invoke()` task that creates
one and registers with the runtime.
- ignore but warn about messages received for a context that either
no longer exists or is unknown (guarding against crashes by malicious
packets in the latter case)
Keeping it disabled on context open will help with detecting any stream
connection which was never opened on one side of the task pair. In that
case we can report that there was an overrun **and** a stream wasn't
opened versus if the stream is explicitly configured not to use bp then
we throw the standard overflow.
Use `trio.Nursery._closed` to detect "closure" XD since it seems to be
the most reliable way to determine if a spawn call will trigger
a runtime error.
