I have implemented direct support for std streams:
http://squeakvm.org/svn/squeak/branches/olpc/platforms/Cross/plugins/FilePlu...
This will catch filenames like "/dev/stderr" and connect the real stderr instead (also preventing to close these).
This file pattern is in usage already, e.g.
http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/pipermail/beginners/2007-April/002268.html
In OLPC we used this to log errors (we added FileStream class>>stderr etc.) because SqueakDebug.log is in an unaccessible place, but using the /dev/stderr symlink is broken by the security architecture, so I need to access the actual stderr.
Any objections to make this go into the trunk Cross platform dir?
yes. In windows you can't open '/dev/stderr'
That file is not used on Windows.
i mean that its better to use file handles which is available on all platforms. and they actually should be open at the process startup
but you can open it if you using an stdio library. like fopen(...)
In libc they are defined as a 'well-known' file handles = 0,1,2 which is stand for stdin, stdout and stderr correspondingly.
And i'm completely with you. Squeak should have support for standard input/output streams.
