hi all,
in the course of trying to find the filehandle-leak bug in Gem i
found a weird problem with open_via_path().
can anybody find anything wrong with the attached code?
if not, try the attached patch as well.
A minor thing is that you use #ifdef __WIN32__ instead of #ifdef
MSW, which may or may not work.
_WIN32 is the preferred version of that macro:
http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-dev/2007-12/010289.html
everything works fine on linux, but on w32 i cannot close the file-
handle anymore (i get an errno of EBADF, which means that fd isn't
a valid open file descriptor).
which in turn results in a filehandle leak.
I don't know if it's related but I had trouble with the very similar
canvas_open on WinXP in the [which] object. I compiled it with
VisualStudioC++2005ExpressEdition against various pd.libs from
Miller's site. Every time Pd would crash whenever i tried to use the
fd, although the same code runs fine on linux (no need for a pd.lib
there).
So imagine my surprise when which works fine when built as part of
pd-extended on Hans' machine. So I think that I'm seeing some
incompatibility of the dlls as made with MinGW and VC.
Yeah, I think its probably good to stick with MinGW throughout.

i notice that hardly anyone (esp. Pd itself) uses open_via_path().
is there a reason for that? is it buggy? (couldn't find anything
wrong though)
i use it quite a lot, e.g. in [msgfile]; i guess nobody ever tried
to open > 1000 files with msgfile on w32, so the error never
appeared...
