[ruby-core:56210] [ruby-trunk - Bug #5954] IO.read_nonblock on IO.pipe generates Errno::EBADF (MinGW)

Issue #5954 has been updated by luislavena (Luis Lavena).


Hello usa, nobu.

I've hit this issue with several project again.

Can you confirm or reject if this failure is intended or a bug? That way I can decide jump into the code or not (as IO is not my strongest field)

Thank you.

The following example seems not to work under Windows:

  r, w = IO.pipe

  w.write "awesome" * 10

  puts r.read_nonblock(8)

  r.close
  w.close

 C:\Users\Luis>ruby -v t.rb
 ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-10-30) [i386-mingw32]
 t.rb:5:in `read_nonblock': Bad file descriptor (Errno::EBADF)
        from t.rb:5:in `<main>'

What is not clear is that using StringIO works:

  require "stringio"

  b = StringIO.new

  b.write "awesome" * 10
  b.rewind

  puts b.read_nonblock(8)

  b.close

 C:\Users\Luis>ruby -v t2.rb
 ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-10-30) [i386-mingw32]
 awesomea

Perhaps pipes are not open properly? Is this supported under Windows?
