The logic for only closing file descriptors >= 3 was inherited from quite some
time ago and ends up meaning that some internal APIs are less consistent than
they should be. By unconditionally closing everything entering a `FileDesc` we
ensure that we're consistent in our behavior as well as robustly handling the
stdio case.
This commit starts to set the CLOEXEC flag for all files and sockets opened by
the standard library by default on all unix platforms. There are a few points of
note in this commit:
* The implementation is not 100% satisfactory in the face of threads. File
descriptors only have the `F_CLOEXEC` flag set *after* they are opened,
allowing for a fork/exec to happen in the middle and leak the descriptor.
Some platforms do support atomically opening a descriptor while setting the
`CLOEXEC` flag, and it is left as a future extension to bind these apis as it
is unclear how to do so nicely at this time.
* The implementation does not offer a method of opting into the old behavior of
not setting `CLOEXEC`. This will possibly be added in the future through
extensions on `OpenOptions`, for example.
* This change does not yet audit any Windows APIs to see if the handles are
inherited by default by accident.
This is a breaking change for users who call `fork` or `exec` outside of the
standard library itself and expect file descriptors to be inherted. All file
descriptors created by the standard library will no longer be inherited.
[breaking-change]
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 807][rfc] which adds a `std::net`
module for basic neworking based on top of `std::io`. This module serves as a
replacement for the `std::old_io::net` module and networking primitives in
`old_io`.
[rfc]: fillmein
The major focus of this redesign is to cut back on the level of abstraction to
the point that each of the networking types is just a bare socket. To this end
functionality such as timeouts and cloning has been removed (although cloning
can be done through `duplicate`, it may just yield an error).
With this `net` module comes a new implementation of `SocketAddr` and `IpAddr`.
This work is entirely based on #20785 and the only changes were to alter the
in-memory representation to match the `libc`-expected variants and to move from
public fields to accessors.
This commit is an implementation of [RFC 739][rfc] which adds a new `std::fs`
module to the standard library. This module provides much of the same
functionality as `std::old_io::fs` but it has many tweaked APIs as well as uses
the new `std::path` module.
