Hi!
It looks like mingw adds more and more POSIX functions to the crt.
For example, gettimeofday() is now misc/gettimeofday.c, etc.
Thus, what about pipe()? I noticed that in the "compat" part of a program
of mine the only piece still used is:
#ifndef HAVE_PIPE
int pipe(int p[2])
{
if (!CreatePipe((PHANDLE)p, (PHANDLE)p+1, 0, 0))
return -1;
p[0]=_open_osfhandle(p[0],0);
p[1]=_open_osfhandle(p[1],0);
return 0;
}
#endif
The semantics of _open_osfhandle() are what we want -- those HANDLEs go away
when the file descriptors get close()d.
I don't think CreatePipe() sets errno, but translating GetLastError()
shouldn't be rocket surgery.
I'm not providing a proper patch yet, as I'd need to learn your build system
-- thus asking first.
Meow!
