26 /*
27 wxStreamTempInputBuffer is a hack which we need to solve the problem of
28 executing a child process synchronously with IO redirecting: when we do
29 this, the child writes to a pipe we open to it but when the pipe buffer
30 (which has finite capacity, e.g. commonly just 4Kb) becomes full we have to
31 read data from it because the child blocks in its write() until then and if
32 it blocks we are never going to return from wxExecute() so we dead lock.
33
34 So here is the fix: we now read the output as soon as it appears into a temp
35 buffer (wxStreamTempInputBuffer object) and later just stuff it back into
36 the stream when the process terminates. See supporting code in wxExecute()
37 itself as well.
38
39 Note that this is horribly inefficient for large amounts of output (count
40 the number of times we copy the data around) and so a better API is badly
41 needed! However it's not easy to devise a way to do this keeping backwards
42 compatibility with the existing wxExecute(wxEXEC_SYNC)...
