11448,posix::stream_descriptor with ::dup(STDIN_FILENO) as in sample posix chat client kills shell on Solaris 11.2,Oliver Mueller <info@…>,chris_kohlhoff,"If you build boost_1_58_0/libs/asio/example/cpp03/chat/posix_chat_client.cpp on Solaris 11.2 and run it, it immediately terminates. Unfortunately it terminates also the running shell which startet posix_chat_client.

It is not important whether you compile with gcc or Sun CC. The behavior is always the same.

It you redirect the input from a file (posix_chat_client < some-file) or pipe data to it, everything works. The shell persists.

If you disable /dev/poll for Boost::Asio (macro via command line at compilation -DBOOST_ASIO_DISABLE_DEV_POLL) the program runs and accepts inputs. As soon as you terminate the chat client the shell terminates, too.

The problem seems to be the initialization of boost::asio::posix::stream_descriptor input_ in class posix_chat_client:
