QtReactor bug, unable to remove WRITE handler

[Matt]

Binary package hint: libace-qtreactor-5.6.3

In my program's output_handler() function, if my output buffer is empty or becomes empty after the send(), I call ACE_Reactor::remove_handler() to be taken off the notification list for writing. Unfortunately, this does not work because ACE continues to repeatedly call output_handler().

The QtReactor code seems to turn the handler's associated QSocketNotifier on or off depending on what ACE_Select_Reactor_Handle_Set (wait_set_ and suspend_set_) is passed to QtReactor::bit_ops() [see patch]. The problem arises because when the user passes in CLR_MASK, QtReactor::bit_ops() is called twice in succession with wait_set_ and suspend_set_ respectively as arguments - effectively turning the QtSocketNotifier off then on again.

Patch and testcase attached.

Are you still suffering from this issue with the latest version of ACE?
