Maybe this will work (1): FILE *foo = (FILE *) STDIN_FILENO;
No no no no no! STDIN_FILENO is a -number-, not a -pointer-!
In a similar situation, I learned from Tom Rini that the correct way
would be (2)
static file *file ;
static void file_construct (void) __attribute__((constructor));
static void file_construct (void) { file = stdin; }Yes, that's it. gcc specific, but works. (1) is DEFINITELY wrong.
