STINNER Victor <vstin...@redhat.com> added the comment:
The Linux kernel has a bad habit of ignoring unknown flags. If your libc is recent and contains O_CLOEXEC but your Linux kernel is old and doesn't know O_CLOEXEC, the flag will be simply ignored. It can happen when a Linux distribution builds a package with a recent kernel / libc, but you run an older kernel / libc. More info in the PEP 446: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0446/#atomic-creation-of-non-inheritable-file-descriptors > if (_Py_set_inheritable(fd, 0, atomic_flag_works) < 0) { Look for the atomic_flag_works: if it's 1, the function does nothing. I don't think that this issue is a bug, so I suggest to close it. The bug tracker is not the right place to ask questions ;-) ---------- nosy: +vstinner _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36615> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
