Re: Cygwin1.dll 1.7.0-5x: RSYNC failures in close() system call on pipe file descriptors


Further tests with this little program show that the observed error only occurs when the socket is dup()'ed to STDIN (fd = 0), but not when dup'ed to any other fd number. To test, replace STDIN_FILENO in the dup call with any positive integer (except 3 and 4).
Also, explicitly closing STDIN in advance of the dup call has no effect, as it should since dup should close exisiting fd automatically.
This moves the problem area at least down into dtable::dup_worker and build_fh_pc()
how is STDIN handled differently?

I forgot to add that the same binary copy of the executable of the test program (compiled under 1.7) works without error if I place the cygwin1.dll version 1.5 into the same directory.

I wrote a small test program to isolate the problem from RSYNC.
The problem occurs when a file descriptor obtained from socketpair() is dup2()'ed into STDIN and then closed. The close call fails.
Output from the program is as follows:


socket 1 = 3
socket 2 = 4
dup2 socket 1...
closing socket 1...
close: Socket operation on non-socket
closing socket 1 failed


It is interesting to note that the close() is successful when the dup2 calling sequence is omitted.
Since socketpair() in cygwin appears to use AF_INET sockets to simulate AF_UNIX it might be interesting to try this on a single INET socket.
