问题:

I need to write my pipestream. My program should get names of another programs and call them, first program should read from stdin second from output of the first an so on. Last program print the result in stdout. The problem is it doesn't work. When I call this program to two another simple programs (they both are to read x and print 2*x while it can read), and give it some data I suppose that I should get result immediately, but I don't. What is more when I give it end of file it doesn't react. Don't pay attention on safe_* functions, they are the same as standart, but the check for an errors. Help me, please =)

{
    sons[n] = safe_fork();

        safe_dup2(in_descr, STDIN_FILENO);
        safe_dup2(out_descr, STDOUT_FILENO);

        safe_execv(filename, (char **)NULL);
    }
}

回答1:

You have nowhere near enough calls to close()! The parent must close all its copies of the pipes. After duplicating the relevant pipe descriptors to standard input and output, the children must close every pipe descriptor too. Otherwise, the processes never get EOF because there's a process that could write to the pipes.

An SSCCE (Short, Self-Contained, Correct Example)

This code uses my stderr.h and stderr.c code in place of your error.h (contact me if you want the code — see my profile). It writes out the safe_* functions — or, at least, my implementation of them.

The dump_fds() function reports on which file descriptors are open in the range 0-19, which is sufficient for this and most programs; a more complex version works with sysconf() to determine the number of file descriptors to check, but the number is usually vastly greater (eg 256 or larger) than the number in use. I use it as a simple way to check that all the file descriptors that should be closed are closed.

There is considerable debug output. The call to execv() provides a proper argument list.
