Other functions, which only call those functions and don't access global memory and are reentrant are also safe. sd_j_sendv was mostly OK, but would call mkostemp and writev in a fallback path, which are unsafe. Being able to call sd_j_sendv in a async-signal-safe way is important because it allows it be used in signal handlers. Safety is achieved by replacing mkostemp with open(O_TMPFILE) and an open-coded writev replacement which uses write. Unfortunately, O_TMPFILE is only available on kernels >= 3.11. When O_TMPFILE is unavailable, an open-coded mkostemp is used. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722889	2014-01-27 23:17:02 -05:00
