Summary: std.stdio should have File.fdopen Product: D Version: D2 Platform: All OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: enhancement Priority: P2 Component: Phobos AssignedTo: nob...@puremagic.com ReportedBy: d-bugzi...@autark.se --- Comment #0 from Per �ngstr�m <d-bugzi...@autark.se> 2010-11-09 01:24:31 PST --- As far as I can tell, struct File in std.stdio does not have a direct way to construct a File object from a low-level file descriptor, � la fdopen. I ran into this issue when using fork and pipe to create a pipe between two processes; having started a child process I wanted to parse the child's standard output using high-level File functions, and for that purpose I wanted to create a File object from a file descriptor. After some head-scratching, I was finally able to work around the issue by extern-declaring fdopen and using the sparsely documented File.wrapFile function (which is labelled "unsafe") to construct a File object, but that was inconvenient and obscure. Implementing fdopen in File would make systems programming with Phobos easier. -- Configure issuemail: http://d.puremagic.com/issues/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: -------
