I'd like to add an equivalent of fdopen to the sqlite's VFS ( http://www.sqlite.org/c3ref/vfs.html). The signature would similar to this:
int (*xFdOpen)(sqlite3_vfs*, int fd, sqlite3_file*, int flags, int *pOutFlags); This would be needed to cleanly implement fd-passing in Chromium, from the browser to the sandboxed renderer process. I was writing about this earlier, see below (all link to the same thread): http://old.nabble.com/upstreaming-Chromium-patches-for-file-handle-passing-support-td29547456.html http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.db.sqlite.general/59066 http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/private/sqlite-users/2010-August/023922.html One of the problems with just copy-pasting the os_unix.c code to our WebKit port was that the changes to os_unix.c made between 3.6.x and 3.7.x were not so trivial to apply (parts of the code were removed to reduce the amount of code from ~5000 LOC to ~1000 LOC, and it was re-formatted to match WebKit style). The change has been reverted anyway for unrelated reasons, but I started thinking about trying to solve it in sqlite. If we had an fdopen-like call in sqlite's VFS (and I'm willing to implement it), the functionality needed for Chromium could be implemented very cleanly. What do you think about that? _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@sqlite.org http://sqlite.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users
