Greetings list,

$stdout.fileno =3D> 1
$stderr.fileno =3D> 2
$stderr.reopen($stdout)
$stderr.fileno =3D> 2

Shouldn't that last line evaluate to 1?

BTW, it does indeed redirect STDERR to STDOUT, it's just that the #fileno=20
appears to be wrong.

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.
