The channel close has some timeout logic for block reads. If the timeout is hit (the `<-time.After(c.ReadDelay * (c.ReadDelay / readDelayDivisor) branch) then the go routine will block forever.
This changes the channel send to a
close
which will not block. Closed go routines will always send the zero value on any receivers which will do the right thing in both cases.I am pretty sure there are other goroutine leaks in closing connections as well.
c.done
is used to signal closing of the channel but on theread()
method there is a good chance the connection is blocking on c.Read() and soc.done
is probably not going to be read:func (c *Channel) read() {.
transport.Read()
probably won't not block until closed, so the order of operation is backwards, but I haven't had a chance to dig into it and probably wont' be but something to look/test for.
