Re: [GNUnet-developers] Make "gnunet-arm -e" not hang

[Christian Grothoff]

I've for now pushed a fix where the detection that ARM is running isn't
done in PROGRAM_run() or SERVICE_run() but specifically by the programs
where we know that they need it, so in

$ gnunet-arm -e

and

$ gnunet-gns

The test (was/is) written to be synchronous, so if it is needed/desired
elsewhere, it can easily be done by calling

GNUNET_CLIENT_test (cfg, "arm");

(code works for other services, but I don't quite see how this can be
used usefully for anything but "arm").

It was a bit more complicated than expected, as I had to add signaling
from gnunet-service-arm to "gnunet-arm -s" to signal when
gnunet-service-arm is finished opening the listen socket.  This is now
done by passing over a pipe *hacking/abusing* the mechanism we
previously used for listen socket passing from ARM to *its* child
services.  Basically, when the ARM service inherits listen socket(s), it
just closes them _after_ opening its listen sockets, while all other
services would use these _as_ their listen socket(s).
