That's not it. I didn't see that you have to pass the mode *twice* on
Windows:
# This works:
io = IO.new(File.open("test.txt", "wb+").fileno, "wb+")
io.write("hello")
io.close
# This fails:
io = IO.new(File.open("test.txt").fileno, "wb+")
io.write("hello")
io.close
iotest.rb:3:in `close': Bad file descriptor (Errno::EBADF)
from iotest.rb:3
# This also fails:
io = IO.new(File.open("test.txt", "wb+").fileno)
io.write("hello")
io.close
C:\eclipse\workspace\ruby-foo\iostuff>ruby iotest.rb
iotest.rb:2:in `write': not opened for writing (IOError)
from iotest.rb:2
I'll have to look at io.c now to see what's really going on. At least
it works now.
