The read() function is also affected by the invalid parameter handler on MSVC 9. The workaround comes here:
2011-09-23 Bruno Haible <br...@clisp.org> read: Support for MSVC 9. * lib/unistd.in.h (read): Replace also when GNULIB_UNISTD_H_NONBLOCKING is not 1. * lib/read.c (read_nothrow): New function. (rpl_read): Define also when GNULIB_NONBLOCKING is not 1. Use read_nothrow. * m4/read.m4 (gl_FUNC_READ): Replace read if the platform has an invalid parameter handler. (gl_PREREQ_READ): New macro. * modules/read (Depends-on): Add msvc-inval. (configure.ac): Invoke gl_PREREQ_READ. * doc/posix-functions/read.texi: Mention the problem on MSVC. --- doc/posix-functions/read.texi.orig Sat Sep 24 03:52:42 2011 +++ doc/posix-functions/read.texi Sat Sep 24 03:35:19 2011 @@ -9,6 +9,9 @@ Portability problems fixed by Gnulib module @code{stdio}, together with module @code{nonblocking}: @itemize @item +This function crashes when invoked with invalid arguments on some platforms: +MSVC 9. +@item When reading from a non-blocking pipe whose buffer is empty, this function fails with @code{errno} being set to @code{EINVAL} instead of @code{EAGAIN} on some platforms: --- lib/read.c.orig Sat Sep 24 03:52:42 2011 +++ lib/read.c Sat Sep 24 03:39:07 2011 @@ -20,25 +20,48 @@ /* Specification. */ #include <unistd.h> -/* Replace this function only if module 'nonblocking' is requested. */ -#if GNULIB_NONBLOCKING +#if (defined _WIN32 || defined __WIN32__) && ! defined __CYGWIN__ -# if (defined _WIN32 || defined __WIN32__) && ! defined __CYGWIN__ +# include <errno.h> +# include <io.h> -# include <errno.h> -# include <io.h> +# define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN /* avoid including junk */ +# include <windows.h> -# define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN /* avoid including junk */ -# include <windows.h> +# include "msvc-inval.h" +# include "msvc-nothrow.h" -# include "msvc-nothrow.h" +# undef read + +# if HAVE_MSVC_INVALID_PARAMETER_HANDLER +static inline int +read_nothrow (int fd, void *buf, size_t count) +{ + int result; + + TRY_MSVC_INVAL + { + result = read (fd, buf, count); + } + CATCH_MSVC_INVAL + { + result = -1; + errno = EBADF; + } + DONE_MSVC_INVAL; + + return result; +} +# else +# define read_nothrow read +# endif ssize_t rpl_read (int fd, void *buf, size_t count) -#undef read { - ssize_t ret = read (fd, buf, count); + ssize_t ret = read_nothrow (fd, buf, count); +# if GNULIB_NONBLOCKING if (ret < 0 && GetLastError () == ERROR_NO_DATA) { @@ -54,8 +77,9 @@ errno = EAGAIN; } } +# endif + return ret; } -# endif #endif --- lib/unistd.in.h.orig Sat Sep 24 03:52:42 2011 +++ lib/unistd.in.h Sat Sep 24 03:49:04 2011 @@ -1177,7 +1177,7 @@ /* Read up to COUNT bytes from file descriptor FD into the buffer starting at BUF.
