=begin Originally posted in [ruby-core:42103]: The following example seems not to work under Windows: =begin r, w = IO.pipe w.write "awesome" * 10 puts r.read_nonblock(8) r.close w.close =end C:\Users\Luis>ruby -v t.rb ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-10-30) [i386-mingw32] t.rb:5:in `read_nonblock': Bad file descriptor (Errno::EBADF) from t.rb:5:in `<main>' What is not clear is that using StringIO works: =begin require "stringio" b = StringIO.new b.write "awesome" * 10 b.rewind puts b.read_nonblock(8) b.close =end C:\Users\Luis>ruby -v t2.rb ruby 1.9.3p0 (2011-10-30) [i386-mingw32] awesomea Perhaps pipes are not open properly? Is this supported under Windows? =end
