[Gambas-user] open named pipe never returns

[Steve]

The statement

hfile = open pipe "/tmp/mypipe01" for watch  (or for read) never returns 
(acts like deadlock).

It does actually create the pipe.

Does gambas use fopen internally for access?  I get the same behavior in 
C if fopen is used instead of open.

There is a restriction:

*Restriction:* If fopen() is used to open named pipes in a 
multi-threaded environment, a deadlock will occur. This deadlock is 
caused by a named pipe waiting for the other end of the pipe to be 
opened, while still holding the fopen() multi-thread mutex. To prevent 
this deadlock, use open() to open the named pipe, instead of fopen().
