bug#52835: [PATCH v3] Fix child spawning closing standard fds prematurely |
Date: |

* libguile/posix.c (renumber_file_descriptor): Refactor it as
dup_handle_error.
(dup_handle_error, dup2_handle_error): New functions that wrap around
dup and dup2 by retrying on EINTR or EBUSY, as well as erroring out on
other errors.
(start_child): Close standard file descriptors only
after all of them have been dup2'd.
---
Hello,
This is a new version of the fix that should now handle possible
dup/dup2 errors properly.
Best,
Josselin
