That kind of mitigation just makes me one step away from Rust - system programming languages should stick to the platform behavior, otherwise it's just another Python. Moreover this change is not documented anywhere else. Have a look at how GLib handle these cases[0]: > - during the GSubprocess discussion, I originally held the opposite opinion, but eventually became convinced (by Colin) to see the inherit-by-default behaviour of exec() as nothing more than a questionable implementation detail of the underlying OS. Consequently, at the high level, GSubprocess provides an API that gives the caller direct control over what is inherited and what is not, and that's just the way that it should be. > - this behaviour is not limited to GSubprocess. Closing all fds before calling exec() is a common practice in modern libraries and runtimes, and for good reason.
