[FFmpeg-devel] [PATCH] ffmpeg: Ignore SIGPIPE

[Nicolas George]

Mark Thompson (2018-01-18):
> On systems which deliver SIGPIPE (Unices), a broken pipe will currently
> result in the immediate termination of the ffmpeg process (the default
> disposition as required by POSIX).  This is undesirable, because while
> the broken pipe is likely fatal to useful cleanup of whatever component
> is writing to it, there might be other components which can do useful
> cleanup - for example, a muxer on another stream may still need to write
> indexes to complete a file.  Therefore, set the signal disposition for
> SIGPIPE to ignore the signal - the call which caused the signal will
> fail with EPIPE and the error will be propagated upwards like any other
> I/O failure on a single stream.

I think it is a bad idea to make this unconditional. But I am tired to
fight uphill.
