Hi,
once I learned that ##open-predefined could be used to create a port
from an already opened file descriptor (in addition to the standard
streams). This did work for me as long as I used just one FD that way
and used it until the programm terminated.
However now I need to actually close the port and want the FD being
closed too. However in os_io.c around line 9932ff I found:
* ........... The responsibility for closing the stream is not
* transferred to the runtime system because ...
I obviously need the other way around. How would I transfer the
ownership of an FD to the runtime system?
(A second, related issue I'm looking into is that ##open-predefined
will add an exit job for each writable FD. This too is not desirable
in my case. However cut&paste of ##open-predefined and modification
looks easy enough to get rid of the latter. What I wonder is how I
would have (ab)use the C code side with preferrable non to minimal
modifications.)
Best
Jörg
