Normally dup and dup2 * will clear the close-on-exec flag on the new fd (which appears to be * an implementation mistake from start and not some planned behavior). * In todays implementations of dup and dup2 we have to make an effort * to really clear that flag. But all tested implementations of dup2 have * another tweak. If we dup2(old, new) when old == new, the syscall * short-circuits and returns early (because there is no need to do all * the work (and there is a risk for serious mistakes)). So although the * docs say that dup2 should "take 'old', close 'new' perform a dup(2) of * 'old' into 'new'" the docs are not really followed because close-on-exec * is not cleared on 'new'. * * Since everyone has this bug, we pretend that this is the way it is * supposed to be and test here that it really works that way. * * This is a fine example on where two separate implementation fuckups * take out each other and make the end-result the way it was meant to be. */ int main() { int orgfd, fd1, fd2; char temp[] = "/tmp/dup2XXXXXXXXX"; if ((orgfd = mkstemp(temp)) < 0) err(1, "mkstemp"); remove(temp); if (ftruncate(orgfd, 1024) != 0) err(1, "ftruncate"); if ((fd1 = dup(orgfd)) < 0) err(1, "dup"); /* Set close-on-exec */ if (fcntl(fd1, F_SETFD, 1) != 0) err(1, "fcntl(F_SETFD)"); if ((fd2 = dup2(fd1, fd1)) < 0) err(1, "dup2"); /* Test 1: Do we get the right fd? */ if (fd2 != fd1) errx(1, "dup2 didn't give us the right fd"); /* Test 2: Was close-on-exec cleared? */ if (fcntl(fd2, F_GETFD) == 0) errx(1, "dup2 cleared close-on-exec"); return 0; }
