Gnulib isn't an application; it's a library that provides portability workarounds for applications. It is attesting to the applications built with it that they can rely on fsync returning EBADF when given a bad file descriptor. The question I keep asking and not getting an answer to is why it bothers doing this? Is there an application that actually depends on this being true, or is it a totally useless test? If it is a useless test, then the test should be removed rather than burden every other task with making a syscall they don't need. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJRQKGfAAoJEJrBOlT6nu759BMH/3MEcOT6K8WBcEBJd297uEmK lviRuSV4HejCJ2JrS+Mm41WH+GBuvSyg1KY4lnt8X85SGScPiZ5pNzEMkBBN/snt WF4YfvCwORfddEuyO0X7yW7TWKyrlpRXM5aTaynsGbMDt8xAo0xon61e8EaMWPMf o3rRZddw2Q13znr0BSB/cpAaD5gvgoH7DuxljzxiaNttvUPyFavU3mF1U5HJjA11 j/AVkHppgEwDOT5vfFFv8T73sGYlLw2COZthlYP22Z72SH8zG1HWZHaCas9aqDEa RXTWUOFdHf+LQJswhZuowI5i3sypGNy/LuWzW/4EgKQZjFWPjoDCmgs2APJW/0g= =hw+E -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
