[Mono-dev] Mono.Unix.Native

[Greg Young]

I have been trying to use Syscalls a bit but am getting an exception I
can't figure out why.

Opening code throws no exceptions:
            var flags = OpenFlags.O_RDWR | OpenFlags.O_DIRECT |
OpenFlags.O_CREAT;
            //var f = NativeConvert.FromOpenFlags(flags); not needed?
            var han = Syscall.open(path, flags, FilePermissions.S_IRWXU);
            if(han < 0)
                throw new Win32Exception();

            var handle = new SafeFileHandle((IntPtr) han, true);
            if(handle.IsInvalid) throw new Exception("Invalid handle");
            return handle;

Then I call write:

            fixed (byte* b = buffer)
            {
                long ret = 0;
                 do {
                    ret = Syscall.write
(handle.DangerousGetHandle().ToInt32(), b ,count);
                } while (Mono.Unix.UnixMarshal.ShouldRetrySyscall ((int) ret));
                if(ret == -1)
                    Mono.Unix.UnixMarshal.ThrowExceptionForLastErrorIf
((int) ret);
            }

I get an invalid parameter exception. Read seems to work following a
similar pattern so not quite sure whats wrong.

My writes are of size 4096. Perhaps the issue is needing to call
memalign? I would expect reads to fail as well then though

Cheers,

Greg
