civodul pushed a commit to branch wip-posix-spawn
in repository guile.
commit f674ef6ccc3b8ac4ae160c05dfdeb4bfb72468b5
Author: Andrew Whatson <what...@gmail.com>
AuthorDate: Fri Dec 23 00:27:22 2022 +0100
Reduce redundant 'close' calls when forking on some systems.
Some systems provide "/proc/self/fd" which is a directory containing an
entry for each open file descriptor in the current process. We use this
to limit the number of close() calls needed to ensure file descriptors
aren't leaked to the child process when forking.
* libguile/posix.c (close_inherited_fds_slow):
(close_inherited_fds): New static helper functions.
(scm_spawn_process): Attempt to close inherited file descriptors
efficiently using 'close_inherited_fds', falling back to the brute-force
approach in 'close_inherited_fds_slow'.
