Windows' CRT has a limit of 512 open file descriptors, and fds which are generated by converting a HANDLE via _get_osfhandle count towards this limit as well. Regardless, often you find yourself marshalling back and forth between native HANDLE objects and fds anyway. If we know from the getgo that we're going to need to work directly with the handle, we can cut out the marshalling layer while also not contributing to filling up the CRT's very limited handle table. On Unix these functions just delegate directly to the existing set of functions since an fd *is* the native file type. It would be nice, very long term, if we could convert most uses of fds to file_t. Differential Revision: https://reviews.llvm.org/D47688 llvm-svn: 333945
llvm/lib/Support/Unix README =========================== This directory provides implementations of the lib/System classes that are common to two or more variants of UNIX. For example, the directory structure underneath this directory could look like this: Unix - only code that is truly generic to all UNIX platforms Posix - code that is specific to Posix variants of UNIX SUS - code that is specific to the Single Unix Specification SysV - code that is specific to System V variants of UNIX As a rule, only those directories actually needing to be created should be created. Also, further subdirectories could be created to reflect versions of the various standards. For example, under SUS there could be v1, v2, and v3 subdirectories to reflect the three major versions of SUS.
