IO#reopen bug in 1.8.4?

ruby-talk
1

Greetings list,

$stdout.fileno => 1
$stderr.fileno => 2
$stderr.reopen($stdout)
$stderr.fileno => 2

Shouldn't that last line evaluate to 1?

BTW, it does indeed redirect STDERR to STDOUT, it's just that the #fileno
appears to be wrong.

2

i think it's ok

     harp:~ > strace ruby -e' STDERR.reopen STDOUT ' 2>&1| tail
     rt_sigprocmask(SIG_SETMASK, , NULL, 8) = 0
     geteuid32() = 447
     getegid32() = 447
     getuid32() = 447
     geteuid32() = 447
     getgid32() = 447
     getegid32() = 447
     dup2(1, 2) = 2
     rt_sigaction(SIGINT, {SIG_DFL}, {0x80a1ff4, , SA_RESTORER|SA_RESTART, 0x3710d8}, 8) = 0
     exit_group(0) = ?

so all that's happening is a dup2. in that case there should in fact be two
fds (fileno).

regards.
