2024-08-07darwin: workaround PROC_PIDLISTFDS on processes with no fdsJade Lovelace
This has been causing various seemingly spurious CI failures as well as some failures on people running tests on beta builds. lix> ++(nix-collect-garbage-dry-run.sh:20) nix-store --gc --print-dead lix> ++(nix-collect-garbage-dry-run.sh:20) wc -l lix> finding garbage collector roots... lix> error: Listing pid 87261 file descriptors: Undefined error: 0 There is no real way to write a proper test for this, other than to start a process like the following: int main(void) { for (int i = 0; i < 1000; ++i) { close(i); } sleep(10000); } and then let Lix's gc look at it. I have a relatively high confidence this *will* fix the problem since I have manually confirmed the behaviour of the libproc call is as-unexpected, and it would perfectly explain the observed symptom.
