Summary: On Windows, Posix integer file descriptors are a compatibility layer over native file handles provided by the C runtime. There is a hard limit on the maximum number of file descriptors that a process can open, and the limit is 8192. LLD typically doesn't run into this limit because it opens input files, maps them into memory, and then immediately closes the file descriptor. This prevents it from running out of FDs. For various reasons, I'd like to open handles to every input file and keep them open during linking. That requires migrating MemoryBuffer over to taking open native file handles instead of integer FDs.

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.
