Bug 1597

Summary:	EmuNetDevice::StopDevice() does not return
Product:	ns-3	Reporter:	konstantin.miller
Component:	fd-net-device	Assignee:	alina <aquereilhac>

Description konstantin.miller 2013-02-25 01:53:22 UTC

This bug is related to bug 903, which is for the TAP device and is supposed to be fixed.

Upon calling Simulator::Destroy(), EmuNetDevice::StopDevice() is called. The latter does not return since it waits for EmuNetDevice::ReadThread() to terminate. ReadThread, however, is blocked by a call to recvfrom().

I filed the bug for the version 3.14 but it seems like this part of the code didn't change in the last version.

need to confirm that this bug still exists with FdNetDevice

Closing this bug as resolved, fixed (by refactoring of emu to fd-net-device)

This is the old behavior referred to in the bug report:
http://code.nsnam.org/ns-3.13/file/806692404e47/src/emu/model/emu-net-device.cc#l617

which resulted in a a blocking call to pthread_join().

Currently, EmuNetDevice was replaced by FdNetDevice, which has this different code for StopDevice:
