Re: [PATCH 1/2] MSVC: Do not close stdout to prevent a crash

Vincent van Ravesteijn [off-list ref] writes:

When compiled with MSVC, git crashes on Windows when calling
fstat(stdout) when stdout is closed. fstat is being called at the end of

ITYM fileno(stdout).

run_builtin and this will thus be a problem for builtin command that close
stdout. This happens for 'format-patch' which closes stdout after a call to
freopen which directs stdout to the format patch file.

It shouldn't do that in the first place.  This is an error on any
platform.
