Учитывая код, который вы разместили в отдельном ответе , вот модифицированная версия, которая устраняет возникшие проблемы. Подробности смотрите в комментариях, но в двух словах:
- Писатель проверяет возвращаемое значение
mkfifo
и проверяет, создал ли другой писатель канал.
- Считыватель получает эксклюзивную консультативную блокировку на канале (через
flock
) после его открытия, чтобы избежать условия гонки, когда второй считыватель мог открыть канал, прежде чем первый считыватель удалил его.
