Previously load_module opened a file on
path
to check if the module is precompiled, then closes before constructing the Module from it. This is fine on normal files, but on piped files(like /dev/stdin), is problematic as the header read is not visible on the next open.So, this set of commits change the procedure to 1) try to mmap the whole file from the
path
. 2) If it fails(implying the file is something special), read the whole file into the buffer so we can safely read the header and reuse the buffer again on the subsequent Module::new.The Zulip thread contains an additional concern by me, about implicitly allowing accsesing
/dev/tty
on-
inputs, which is not considered here.
