Gnulib module: dup2 or dup2-obsolete
Portability problems fixed by either Gnulib module @code{dup2} or @code{dup2-obsolete}:
@itemize
@item
This function always returns 0 for success on some platforms:
mingw, MSVC 9.
@item
This function can hang when duplicating an fd to itself on some platforms:
mingw, MSVC 9.
@item
This function crashes when invoked with invalid arguments on some platforms:
Cygwin 1.7.17, MSVC 9.
@item
This function crashes when invoked with valid arguments on some platforms:
Cygwin 1.7.25.
@item
This function fails with @code{EINVAL} when duplicating an fd to itself:
Android.
@item
This function resets the @code{FD_CLOEXEC} flag when duplicating an fd
to itself on some platforms:
Haiku.
@item
This function returns 0 for @code{dup2 (1, 1)} on some platforms:
Cygwin 1.5.x.
@item
This function may return @code{-EBADF} instead of @code{-1} on some platforms:
Linux releases between July 2008 and May 2009 (versions 2.6.27 to 2.6.29).
@item
This function returns @code{EMFILE} instead of @code{EBADF} for
large targets, which interferes with using
@code{dup2(fd,fd)==fd)} as the minimal @code{EBADF} filter:
AIX 7.1, FreeBSD 6.1, Cygwin 1.5.
