[bug#67245] [PATCH v2] store: Add with-store/non-blocking.

["Ludovic Courtès" <ludo@gnu.org>]

Hi,

Christopher Baines <mail@cbaines.net> skribis:

> For some applications, it's important to establish a non-blocking connection
> rather than just making the socket non-blocking after the connection is
> established. This is because there is I/O on the socket that will block during

>
> I've noticed this blocking during the handshake causing issues in the build

> with-store/open-connection to ensure that this change can't break anything
> that depends on the blocking nature of the socket.

> * guix/store.scm (open-unix-domain-socket, open-inet-socket): Take
>  #:non-blocking? and use SOCK_NONBLOCK when calling socket if appropriate.
> (connect-to-daemon, open-connection, call-with-store): Take #:non-blocking?
> and pass it on.
> (with-store/non-blocking): New syntax rule.

Make sure SOCK_NONBLOCK is added only when ‘non-blocking?’ is true.

I think we’ll need an entry in ‘.dir-locals.el’ and one in (guix
read-print) for proper formatting.

OK for me with these changes!

Thanks,
