Proton messangers after fork

[Michael Ivanov <iv...@logit-ag.de>]

Greetings,

I have a process that receives amqp messages using proton messenger in passive mode
(inside select-based event loop) and sends replies back using second messenger in
non-passive mode. I want to handle certain messages in a separate process instance.
Normally I would just fork current process and do all necessary job in a child,
but I have certain doubts about messenger connections. Should I just close corresponding
file descriptors and free the messengers? Will this also affect messenger connections
in parent? Will it be safe if I will just create a new messenger in a child
(most probably in non-passive blocking mode) to send back reply messages?
I am concerned about any possible implicit proton initializations: should I somehow
re-initialize the library in child?

Or is it more safe just to exec a different process in this case?

Many thanks,
