Hello,

Please review the patch and let us know the response.

Thanks
Amit Tewari

I applied the patch to dbus master, compiled with cmake on linux (which worked out of the box) and did run the server with

bin/test-multithread-server &
bin/test-multithread-client 

and got the line 

Client : Reply received  thread = ...

125 times. 

Is that the expected result ? 

In that case other test print out a dedicated test status 

...:~/src/dbus-cmake-build> bin/test-refs
/refs/connection: OK
/refs/message: OK
/refs/pending-call: OK
/refs/server: OK

Yes actually we are running 5 thread that runs in loop_count=25 to send message to bus and verify the Id in reply received. since we received all reply correctly so we got message and its success case.

This test should be used to test the recently compiled dbus source ? 
In that case some setup required:
1. start a local dbus-damon 
2. start the server providing the interface to test
3. run the client
4. after test exits terminate server and local dbus-daemin 

This setup is normally done by the dbus test suite, to which this test should be added to be able to be runable by make check. Your patch is missing this integration.

I actually tested my testcase integrating into the dbus test/name-test/run-test.sh  script but since it can run only maximum 8 test case and also it can run only the testcases currently added in the run-test.sh script due to which I am not able to add it into dbus testsuite.
 Can you please add this to the name-test/run-test.sh script and then it will do the setup automatically.

Will it be merged in test/name-test directory currently for Linux support.
Thanks

I think adding it for Linux support will be good since we have recently fixed run-test.sh script for name-test tests in master branch.

Would be nice, unfortunally the patch in the current state is incomplete because it is missing the make check integration (for autotools: patch fragment from comment 8) and cmake (need some patching)

I understand now it is important for this bug 93976 to get fixed for this testcase to merge.
but I can run  test cases separately from name-test dir using "make check" in name-test dir, if I run configure using "--enable-embedded-tests" option.

I think since the bug 93976 changes will apply to all testcases within name-test dir, we can merge this testcase to name-test dir so that once the blocking bug is closed multithread testcase will also get included and run along with other name-test testcases, this way multithread testcase will be preserved for other developers also.
Thanks

Review of attachment 121487 [details] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------

For the commit message: it's spelled "D-Bus". "dbus" is the name of the reference implementation of D-Bus; "Dbus" doesn't exist.

General high-level questions and points about these:

Why is this particular test interesting? You're sending some arbitrary number of messages, in a blocking (synchronous) way, from multiple sender threads, to a recipient out-of-process. Did this exhibit a bug for you? Are you using some other code for which this is a simplified emulation? Is there some particular piece of code that gets coverage this way but not in any of the existing tests? What makes this better than any of the million other possible tests?

I would prefer new tests to start their own dbus-daemon, like test/dbus-daemon.c does, instead of running in name-test/ and relying on a separate dbus-daemon activating an out-of-process service.

I would prefer new tests to do their messaging by "talking to themselves" - running the service side in-process, like test/dbus-daemon.c does, instead of in a separate activated process like this one does - because that makes it *much* easier to run both client and service sides under a debugger like gdb, or a QA tool like valgrind or helgrind.

I would prefer new tests to use GTest, like test/dbus-daemon does; or failing that, output in TAP format <http://testanything.org/>.

If you are adding new tests to name-test/ despite those considerations, please edit run-test.sh to enable them. There is nothing magic about the line that says "1..8": it's a TAP <http://testanything.org/> "test plan". Patching it to say "1..9" would be fine. I don't want to add new tests that have not been run in the test environment by their authors, and in general I don't want to add new tests that will not be run automatically by the test framework, unless there's a very good reason why that can't be done (for instance needing manual setup, like test/manual-authz.c, or manual interpretation of the results, like test/manual-paths.c).

Please prefer to use portable types: size_t for memory sizes, something like dbus_uint64_t for general large integers.

Please use D-Bus' usual naming conventions: variables_are_lower_case_with_underscores, TypesAreCapitalized, CONSTANTS_ARE_UPPER_CASE_WITH_UNDERSCORES, and nothing uses Both_Caps_And_Underscores. For instance this should be data_size.

Tests should not output junk on stdout: I'm trying to move our tests towards TAP format, which parses stdout. If you need to output progress indications, use stderr.

Printing to stdout or stderr from non-main threads seems very questionable: at best you'll get randomly interleaved lines, and at worst you'll make all your threads' operations effectively serialized (because they're waiting for the lock that libc presumably has around each FILE * to avoid crashes), removing the value of testing multi-threaded operation.

I'd prefer a blank line between declarations and code, to make it more obvious that we're working in what is basically C89 (no interleaving declarations with code).

This should not have been necessary since 1.8.

This is an example of forgetting to put the \n on the die() call.

This should presumably mention strerror() somewhere.

This doesn't need to be malloc()'d, it could be on the stack.

That is not required.
