[libvirt] [PATCH v4] introduce VIR_CLOSE to be used rather than close()

Stefan Berger stefanb at linux.vnet.ibm.com
Tue Oct 19 14:08:10 UTC 2010


   V4:
    - pushing #include "ignore-value.h" into files.h

  V3:
    - many small nits addressed

  V2:
     - following Eric's suggestions and picking up his code suggestions

Since bugs due to double-closed file descriptors are difficult to track 
down in a multi-threaded system, I am introducing the VIR_CLOSE(fd) 
macro to help avoid mistakes here.

There are lots of places where close() is being used. In this patch I am 
only cleaning up usage of close() in src/conf where the problems were.

I also dare to declare close() as being deprecated in libvirt code base 
(HACKING).
