They ;; can't all listen on the same TCP port, so the short answer is that ;; all of them except the first will get an EADDRINUSE error when ;; trying to bind. ;; ;; We want to be able to handle this scenario, though, so that Scheme ;; code can be evaluated, and help invoked, in any of those Emacsen. ;; So we introduce the idea of a "slave server". When a new GDS ;; server gets an EADDRINUSE bind error, the implication is that there ;; is already a GDS server running, so the new server instead connects ;; to the existing one (by issuing a connect to the GDS port number). ;; ;; Let's call the first server the "master", and the new one the ;; "slave". In principle the master can now proxy any GDS client ;; connections through to the slave, so long as there is sufficient ;; information in the protocol for it to decide when and how to do ;; this. ;; ;; The basic information and mechanism that we need for this is as ;; follows. ;; ;; - A unique ID for each Emacs; this can be each Emacs's PID. When a ;; slave server connects to the master, it announces itself by sending ;; the protocol (emacs ID). ;; ;; - A way for a client to indicate which Emacs it wants to use. At ;; the protocol level, this is an extra argument in the (name ...) ;; protocol. (The absence of this argument means "no preference". A ;; simplistic master server might then decide to use its own Emacs; a ;; cleverer one might monitor which Emacs appears to be most in use, ;; and use that one.) At the API level this can be an optional ;; argument to the `gds-connect' procedure, and the Emacs GDS code ;; would obviously set this argument when starting a client from ;; within Emacs. ;; ;; We also want a strategy for continuing seamlessly if the master ;; server shuts down. ;; ;; - Each slave server will detect this as an error on the connection ;; to the master socket. Each server then tries to bind to the GDS ;; port again (a race which the OS will resolve), and if that fails, ;; connect again. The result of this is that there should be a new ;; master, and the others all slaves connected to the new master. ;; ;; - Each client will also detect this as an error on the connection ;; to the (master) server. Either the client should try to connect ;; again (perhaps after a short delay), or the reconnection can be ;; delayed until the next time that the client requires the server. ;; (Probably the latter, all done within `gds-read'.) ;; ;; (Historical note: Before this master-slave idea, clients were ;; identified within gds-server.scm and gds*.el by an ID which was ;; actually the file descriptor of their connection to the server. ;; That is no good in the new scheme, because each client's ID must ;; persist when the master server changes, so we now use the client's ;; PID instead. We didn't use PID before because the client/server ;; code was written to be completely asynchronous, which made it ;; tricky for the server to discover each client's PID and associate ;; it with a particular connection. Now we solve that problem by ;; handling the initial protocol exchange synchronously.) (define (run-slave-server port) 'not-implemented)
