fix(inspector): release the frontend's resources when DevTools disconnects - #516
edusperoni wants to merge 3 commits into
Conversation
…nects Since #390 closes the client channel on EOF, nothing told JsV8InspectorClient: sender_ kept the closed channel, so every later CDP message (console.log, scriptParsed, ...) failed with "InspectorServer::Send error: Operation canceled". The departed frontend's session also stayed alive with its breakpoints and enabled domains, so a pause after disconnect (or a disconnect while paused) left the app frozen with nobody to resume it. InspectorServer: - Track each client as a Connection with an id and its own serial queue. Closing is idempotent and reports onClientDisconnected(id); the sender drops messages once closed, and ECANCELED from writes queued before the close is no longer logged. - Replace the self-referencing __block read handler (an ARC retain cycle that leaked the block and channel per connection) with a read loop that accumulates each frame until done. - Set SO_NOSIGPIPE on client sockets. JsV8InspectorClient: - On disconnect, clear the sender (ignoring stale connection ids) and reset the frontend's state: IO streams, tracing, worker sessions, and the main session. - Reset the main session through the message queue instead of taking the Locker on the socket thread, which blocked while the isolate was paused. Inside the pause loop the reset resumes and skips further pauses, and the session is swapped by the next drain once the loop has unwound. - Only reset on connect when replacing a still-attached frontend. - Open the listening socket once: the CLI re-posts AttachRequest every few seconds until it sees the port, and each post used to open another listener on the next port.

- Around line 246-262: Serialize `JsV8InspectorClient::onFrontendConnected` and
`onFrontendDisconnected` with a dedicated lifecycle mutex so a new connection
cannot process messages before the prior disconnect finishes resetting frontend
state. Declare the mutex on `JsV8InspectorClient` and acquire it at the start of
both handlers; do not hold `senderMutex_` across the disconnect cleanup.

…a time Each connection runs its callbacks on its own queue, so an old connection's disconnect could interleave with the next connection's connect: the new frontend saw no attached frontend, skipped its reset, and its Debugger.enable / Tracing.start / IO streams were then wiped by the old disconnect's late cleanup. Serialize both handlers with a dedicated lifecycle mutex (not senderMutex_, which RegisterWorkerTarget takes after workerTargetsMutex_). The server now accepts one client at a time: a new client closes the previous one, under a lock held across both callbacks so back-to-back accepts cannot hand out senders in the opposite order. A session reset also drops the departing frontend's still-queued messages, so their replies (whose ids may collide) never reach the next frontend.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winReject messages from a connection after takeover.
dispatch_io_close(..., DISPATCH_IO_STOP)is asynchronous and does not wait for queued read handlers to finish. If the old framed read completed before takeover, its handler can later callconnection->onMessage(utf8)on the old serial queue. The callback has no connection identity, so the new frontend can process the old command or receive its reply.Pass the connection ID to the message callback and hold the lifecycle lock while rejecting stale messages and processing current messages.

Closing a replaced connection does not cancel a read handler that has already assembled a message, so the old frontend's last command could still be dispatched to the new frontend's session, and its reply sent to the new frontend. Message callbacks now carry the connection id, and onFrontendMessageReceived drops messages from a connection that is no longer current. The check and the enqueue run under the lifecycle mutex, so a concurrent takeover's reset drops anything queued before it.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winSerialize active-connection replacement on the accept path.
Each accepted connection currently activates on its own serial queue. The mutex serializes activation, but it does not preserve accept order. If connections A and B are accepted close together, B can activate first and then be closed when A activates.
Move active-connection replacement into the accept-source handler before dispatching connection-specific work. This keeps the newer accepted connection active.

What is the current behavior?
After Chrome DevTools disconnects, the app log fills with:
Since #390 the server closes the client's
dispatch_iochannel on EOF, butJsV8InspectorClientis never told.sender_keeps the closed channel, so every later CDP message (eachconsole.log, everyDebugger.scriptParsed, …) is serialized, written, and fails withECANCELED.Other state is left behind too:
debugger;hit after DevTools closes, or a disconnect while paused, leaves the app frozen inrunMessageLoopOnPausewith nobody to resume it.__block dispatch_io_handler_t receiverreferences itself under ARC, so the block and its channel are never freed.AttachRequestopens another listening socket. The CLI re-posts it every 5 s until it sees the port, and again per debug session. Each post calledInspectorServer::Init, which bound a new socket on the next free port and never closed it.disconnect(), which took the isolateLockerthere and blocked while the main thread was paused.What is the new behavior?
