child_process: fix data loss with readable event
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This commit prevents child process stdio streams from being
automatically flushed on child process exit/close if a 'readable'
event handler has been attached at the time of exit.

Without this, child process stdio data can be lost if the process
exits quickly and a `read()` (e.g. from a 'readable' handler)
hasn't had the chance to get called yet.

Fixes: #5034
PR-URL: #5036
