g_unix_open_pipe tries to avoid the standard io fd range
when getting pipe fds. This turns out to be a bad idea because
certain buggy programs rely on it using that range.
This reverts commit d9ba6150909818beb05573f54f26232063492c5b
Closes: #2795Reopens: #16
- Insert missing word "from".
- Remove space between function name and "()" so syntax highlighting
can recognise it as a function.
- Avoid "you"/"your" when discussing the reentrancy issues of regular
UNIX signal handlers, because it gives the false impression that
these issues are applicable to g_unix_signal_source_new().
Unrelated:
- Fix missing space in documentation of g_signal_new_class_handler().
Though unlikely to happen, it may happen that newly created file
descriptor take the value 0 (stdin), 1 (stdout) or 2 (stderr) if one
of the standard ones have been dismissed in between. So, it may
confuse the program if it is unaware of this change.
The point of this patch is to avoid a reasign of standard file
descriptors on newly created ones.
Closes issue #16
Add SPDX license (but not copyright) headers to all files which follow a
certain pattern in their existing non-machine-readable header comment.

If this fails to compile on some particularly bizarre Unix platform,
we can relax these assertions; but our expectation is that gssize is
POSIX ssize_t, and that on Unix, GPid is POSIX pid_t.

malloc() was given too small value (size of pointer,
rather than struct it points to), and subsequent call
getpwnam_r() wrote past the end of allocated block - easily
seen with valgrind.

This is a convenience wrapper around getpwnam_r() which handles all the
memory allocation faff.

There are two benefits to this:
1) We can centralize any operating system specific knowledge of
close-vs-EINTR handling. For example, while on Linux we should never
retry, if someone cared enough later about HP-UX, they could come by
and change this one spot.
2) For places that do care about the return value and want to provide
the caller with a GError, this function makes it convenient to do so.
Note that gspawn.c had an incorrect EINTR loop-retry around close().

Just like g_timeout_add() and friends, we want to hide the unintrospectable
g_unix_signal_add() from GI bindings and present g_unix_signal_add_full() as
GLib.unix_signal_add() to them.
Change the unix signal watch API to match other sources in both
available functions, names of those functions and order of the
parameters to the _full function.

Fix some bugs in the fallback case of g_unix_open_pipe:
- close both halves of the pipe on error (not just one)
- set the cloexec flag on both halves of the pipe (instead of settings
it twice on one half)
This new API allows watching a few select Unix signals;
looking through the list on my system, I didn't see anything
else that I think it'd reasonable to watch.
We build on the previous patch to make the child watch helper thread
that existed on Unix handle these signals in the threaded case.
In the non-threaded case, they're just global variables.

GLib historically has been designed to be "mostly" portable; there
are some functions only available on Unix like g_io_channel_unix_new(),
but these are typically paired with obvious counterparts for Win32.
However, as GLib is used not only by portable software, but components
targeting Unix (or even just Linux), there are a few cases where it
would be very convenient if GLib shipped built-in functionality.
This initial patch is a basic wrapper around pipe2(), including
fallbacks for older kernels. This pairs well with the
existing g_spawn_*() API and its child_setup functionality.
However, in the future, I want to add a signal() wrapper here,
complete with proxying the signal to a mainloop. I have initial code
for this, but doing it sanely (including factoring out gmain.c's
private worker thread), is a complex task, and I don't want to block
on that.
See also gwin32.h for Win32 specific functionality.
