I don't understand this function. I expect that:
$P0.'open'( 'bad_file' )
... should throw an exception as it tries to read a file that doesn't exist,
but this code appears to try to open a file descriptor for writing, reading
and writing, and appending as the first step toward seeing if the open()
system call can succeed:
/* Try open with no create first */
while ((fd = open(spath, oflags & (O_WRONLY | O_RDWR | O_APPEND),
DEFAULT_OPEN_MODE))
< 0 && errno == EINTR)
errno = 0;
The default file mode without a specified mode is read-only mode. Why does
this code give me back a working FileHandle when it can't read the file?
