From e038616f4a681bef050a2b20971c1d9af4fe7312 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ulrich Drepper Date: Sun, 27 Jul 2008 19:08:19 +0000 Subject: * posix/wordexp.c (exec_comm): Use pipe2 if possible to create file descriptors with close-on-exec set. (exec_comm_child): Fix the case where the write end of the pipe is STDOUT_FILENO already. In case it is, clear close-on-exec. --- NEWS | 12 ++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'NEWS') diff --git a/NEWS b/NEWS index eebc6b8349..9873ddea70 100644 --- a/NEWS +++ b/NEWS @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -GNU C Library NEWS -- history of user-visible changes. 2008-5-14 +GNU C Library NEWS -- history of user-visible changes. 2008-7-27 Copyright (C) 1992-2007, 2008 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
