I think that's intended behaviour. The usual way to discard STDIN is
to reopen it to /dev/null, not to close it (in perl as in C.)

#!/usr/bin/perl

close(STDIN);
open(FOO, '/dev/null');

pipe(PIN, COUT);
pipe(CIN, POUT);
if(!fork) {
close(PIN);
close(POUT);
open(STDIN, '<&CIN');
open(STDOUT, '>&COUT');
exec('cat');
}
close(CIN);
close(COUT);
print POUT "Piped through cat...\n";
close(POUT);
print while(<PIN>);

This is a bug report for perl from tom@trap.mtview.ca.us,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.8.

We seem to have got 3 copies of this ticket.

[Please enter your report here]

This piece of code gives FOO file descriptor 0

True - it is supposed to as there is existing code that does
explict
close(STDIN);
open(...)

relying on open getting lowest available fileno.

preventing cat from being
able to dup2 to file descriptor 0.

Cat shouldn't be trying.
But perl child process's
open(STDIN,'<&CIN'); should

So there is a bug here.

Strace shows:
9939 close(5 <unfinished ...>
9939 <... close resumed> ) = 0
9939 close(8 <unfinished ...>
9939 <... close resumed> ) = 0

STDIN:

9939 dup(7 <unfinished ...>
9939 <... dup resumed> ) = 5
9939 ioctl(5, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS <unfinished ...>
9939 <... ioctl resumed> , 0xbfffea88) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
9939 _llseek(5, 0, 0xbfffeac0, SEEK_CUR) = -1 ESPIPE (Illegal seek)
9939 fstat64(5, {st_mode=S_IFIFO|0600, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
9939 fcntl64(5, F_SETFD, FD_CLOEXEC) = 0

No dup2 there.

Now STDOUT

9939 dup(6) = 8
9939 ioctl(8, SNDCTL_TMR_TIMEBASE or TCGETS, 0xbfffea88) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
9939 _llseek(8, 0, 0xbfffeac0, SEEK_CUR) = -1 ESPIPE (Illegal seek)
9939 fstat64(8, {st_mode=S_IFIFO|0600, st_size=0, ...}) = 0
9939 dup2(8, 1) = 1
9939 close(8) = 0

But that is as expected.

#!/usr/bin/perl

close(STDIN);
open(FOO, '/dev/null');

pipe(PIN, COUT);
pipe(CIN, POUT);
if(!fork) {
close(PIN);
close(POUT);
open(STDIN, '<&CIN');
open(STDOUT, '>&COUT');
exec('cat');
}
close(CIN);
close(COUT);
print POUT "Piped through cat...\n";
close(POUT);
print while(<PIN>);

In that case, can I mark this as rejected?

Yes. fd0 shouldn't be closed. The only reason one would close it would
be to replace it. That's often done using the above code.

To assign CIN to fd0,

open(STDIN, '<&=0');
open(STDIN, '<&CIN');

or

POSIX::dup2(fileno(CIN), 0);

True - it is supposed to as there is existing code that does

relying on open getting lowest available fileno.

That has nothing to do with it... the documentation said $^F is one
less than the lowest file descriptor perl will automatically assign, and
that doesn't work.
