- Subject: [PATCH draft v2 0/6] Remove the fhandler_base_overlapped class
fhandler_pipe is currently the only class derived from
fhandler_base_overlapped. This patch series rewrites parts of
fhandler_pipe so that it can be derived from fhandler_base instead.
We can then simplify the code by removing fhandler_base_overlapped.
In particular, this gets rid of the peculiar situation in which a
non-blocking write can return with I/O pending, leading to the
ugliness in fhandler_base_overlapped::close.
I've marked these patches as drafts because I've undoubtedly
overlooked some things. Also, I haven't systematically done any
regression tests. I have, however, run all the sample pipe programs
in Kerrisk's book "The Linux Programming Interface: Linux and UNIX
System Programming Handbook". I've also run emacs-X11, gdb, git,
make, etc., currently without problems, except perhaps for a timerfd
problem that I think is unrelated to my patches
(http://www.cygwin.org/ml/cygwin/2019-06/msg00096.html).
v2: Fix some errors in the handling of signals that arrive during
raw_read or raw_write.
