---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0007359) steffen (reporter) - 2026-01-09 15:58 https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1960#c7359 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ..especially since for example TZDB, OpenBSD lib/libc/gen/shm_open.c and lib/libc/gen/login_cap.c, NetBSD lib/libc/stdio/gettemp.c and ib/libc/time/localtime.c, so in practice a hundred percent (?, i think yes) of all CLOFORK use cases come in combination with CLOEXEC. It seems therefore wrong to assume that anyone who wants to set that on an already open descriptor at all would like to go a different route. The current approach therefore <em>will</em> end up with contortion and a preprocessor jungle. I for one therefore cannot follow the decision to "put that on the back burner".
