as reported by Tavian Barnes, a dup2 file action for the internal pipe fd used by posix_spawn could cause it to remain open after execve and allow the child to write an artificial error into it, confusing the parent. POSIX allows internal use of file descriptors by the implementation, with undefined behavior for poking at them, so this is not a conformance problem, but it seems preferable to diagnose and prevent the error when we can do so easily. catch attempts to apply a dup2 action to the internal pipe fd and emulate EBADF for it instead.
musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
the project website:
