// When the default version of close used on Mac OS X fails with EINTR, the
// file descriptor is not in a deterministic state. It may have been closed,
// or it may not have been. This makes it impossible to gracefully recover
// from the error. If the close is retried after the FD has been closed, the
// subsequent close can report EBADF, or worse, it can close an unrelated FD
// opened by another thread. If the close is not retried after the FD has been
// left open, the FD is leaked. Neither of these are good options.
//
// Mac OS X provides an alternate version of close, close$NOCANCEL. This
// version will never fail with EINTR before the FD is actually closed. With
// this version, it is thus safe to call close without checking for EINTR (as
// the HANDLE_EINTR macro does) and not risk leaking the FD. In fact, mixing
// this verison of close with HANDLE_EINTR is hazardous.
//
// The $NOCANCEL variants of various system calls are activated by compiling
// with __DARWIN_NON_CANCELABLE, which prevents them from being pthread
// cancellation points. Rather than taking such a heavy-handed approach, this
// file implements an alternative: to use the $NOCANCEL variant of close (thus
// preventing it from being a pthread cancellation point) without affecting
// any other system calls.
//
// This file operates by providing a close function with the non-$NOCANCEL
// symbol name expected for the compilation environment as set by <unistd.h>
// and <sys/cdefs.h> (the DARWIN_ALIAS_C macro). That name is set by an asm
// label on the declaration of the close function, so the definition of that
// function receives that name. The function calls the $NOCANCEL variant, which
// is resolved from libsyscall. By linking with this version of close prior to
// the libsyscall version, close's implementation is overridden.
#include <sys/cdefs.h>
#include <unistd.h>
// If the non-cancelable variants of all system calls have already been
// chosen, do nothing.
