[ruby-core:69964] [Ruby trunk - Bug #11350] When Process.exec failed, redirections were still changed and not restored

Issue #11350 has been updated by Naohisa Goto.


To avoid ASYNC BUG, is it possible to close timer-thread pipe after stopping the timer thread, and when Process.exec fails, to open the timer-thread pipe again before re-starting the timer thread?

----------------------------------------
When Process.exec failed, redirections of file descriptors were changed and not restored.

When redirecting fd 3 or 5, ASYNC BUG occurred as below.

$ ruby -e 'begin; Process.exec("/does_not_exist", "arg", { 3=>["/dev/null", "w"]}); rescue Errno::ENOENT => e; $stdout.print "stdout: ", e.inspect, "\n"; $stderr.print "stderr: ", e.inspect, "\n"; end'

When redirecting fd 1 or 2 to /dev/null, stdout or stderr is still redirected to /dev/null and the printed contents are not shown.

~~~
% ruby -e 'begin; Process.exec("/does_not_exist", "arg", { 1=>["/dev/null", "w"]}); rescue Errno::ENOENT => e; $stdout.print "stdout: ", e.inspect, "\n"; $stderr.print "stderr: ", e.inspect, "\n"; end'
stderr: #<Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - /does_not_exist>
~~~

~~~
% ruby -e 'begin; Process.exec("/does_not_exist", "arg", { 2=>["/dev/null", "w"]}); rescue Errno::ENOENT => e; $stdout.print "stdout: ", e.inspect, "\n"; $stderr.print "stderr: ", e.inspect, "\n"; end'
stdout: #<Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - /does_not_exist>
~~~

All of the above are observed both on x86_64 Linux and sparc Solaris.

Is this spec or bug?
