RunRedirect and TOnRedirect small confusion of descriptions

Hi!

mormot.core.os

  // - should return true to stop the execution, or false to continue
  .....
  // - the raw process ID (dword on Windows, cint on POSIX) is also supplied
  TOnRedirect = function(const text: RawByteString; pid: cardinal): boolean of object;

  // - will optionally call onoutput() to notify the new output state
  // - can abort if onoutput() callback returns false, or waitfordelayms expires
  ....
  function RunRedirect(const cmd: TFileName; exitcode: PInteger = nil;

Actually, it works fine as described for TOnRedirect. i.e. when the result is false then execution continue.

You are right.

Should be better with

As always, thanks for the lightning-fast response, ab! ))

Add.

Is it possible to add RedirectOutput execution after a certain timeout rather than after the buffer is full?
For long processes with percentage progress, a lot of time passes until the buffer is filled out and the data is transferred to TOnRedirect.
Thanks!

On Linux/POSIX, it is running the TOnRedirect every 200 ms at most. OK.

On Windows, it indeed waits for its buffer to be filled.
I started in fact from https://stackoverflow.com/a/25725197/458259 code, which does wait for the full buffer to be filled.
Not what we expect for sure.

I guess it should do the trick:

Thanks ab.

I tested, but the result is the same.

It checks at most every 60ms now.

I tested e.g. with "ping" and it was fine with no delay.

Are you sure it is not the application itself which buffers the output?

Humm, you are rigth. Testing with "ping" works fine.
But with small test program like

 
begin
  for i := 10 to 80 do
    begin
      write(IntToStr(i) + ',');
      sleep(200);
    end;
end. 

I get this log

function TFoo.OnRedirect(const text: RawByteString; pid: cardinal): boolean;

      Writeln(text);
    end;
end;
