Hi, wine's implementation of _get_osfhandle is found to cause sharing violation in some apps. The author commented this piece of code with a block of FIXME warning about possible leakage. It turns out it's no just a matter of leakage.
A simple test program ------------------------------------------------------------ #include "windows.h" #include "io.h" #include "fcntl.h" #include "share.h" int main() { int fd, bWritten; fd = _sopen("foo", _O_CREAT|_O_RDWR,_SH_DENYRW, 0); WriteFile((HANDLE)_get_osfhandle(fd), "bar", 3, &bWritten, NULL); _close(fd); fd = _open("foo", _O_RDONLY, 0); _write(1, fd==-1? "F\n" : "S\n", 2); } ------------------------------------------------------------ The second _open fails with builtin msvcrt, not with native one.
The comment says that the duplication is to make an inheritable hande. With the recent change in msvcrt's io init procedure, that shouldn't be a problem anymore.
