      @@Handlessuck1 That would be an interesting concept. Like accessing file metadata using computed property access. Setting permissions using object descriptors (file descriptors). Classes would be programs specifically designed to create a certain kind of file, so VIM is a class whose constructor returns a new plaintext file object.
      The only problem is that *EVERY* file is allowed to have own function properties, which means they can come bundled with method scripts that aren't inherited from the prototype, possibly allowing arbitrary code execution lol

    Thanks, Rust, for closing files on drop (standard: when the variable goes out of scope), as do many others. Sometimes I think RAII is kinda the wrong term, as closing/deallocating/whatever on dropping your value seem equally if not more important in practice.

      Yup, let's all have the compiler do stuff for us because it's too complex to do it ourselves!! It's what makes the difference between a good coder who is aware of such things and people who need a runtime to remember all the things they forget because resource management is too complex for them. You might as well just advocate for gameSpaceInvaders.create(); gameSpaceInvaders.run() and have the compiler generate the entire thing for you. Coding and coding well is a skill, but NOT today, it's, let the runtime handle that, import some else's library, job done.

      @@thewelder3538 It's a matter of efficiency. Why have people write the same code hundreds or thousands of times? Consumers (because that is who needs to pay for software at the end, even internal software) don't want to pay for developers writing boilerplate code over and over. You want working code the smallest possible amount of effort. Of course, it needs to be fast and safe as well, but nobody has time and money for developers to mess around and try to perfect every little thing.
      It's generally not that people couldn't do it, but simply that they don't want to.

      @@jort93z I'm not sure if you're actually arguing what you think you are. It's simple, if a class opens a file handle, it should close it. It has nothing to do with efficiency. Your arguing that the runtime should close the file handles that YOU forgot to close. This is like the ultimate lazy coders paradigm, where you rely on the runtime and compiler to fix all your bad code for you. Sure, there are always deadlines and stuff, but releasing a badly bugged product affects reputation WAY more than a release delay. The problem with many coders nowadays, is they have literally NO idea what is going on under the hood of the languages they are writing in. I think they should all do a stint writing x86 or ARM assembly because then you HAVE to take care and do things properly. None of this... whoopsie, I accidently left a file handle open, not to worry, the runtime will sort that for me, mentality. You do things right, or you resource leak and your program dies. Then, once you've got that level of understanding, apply it to a higher level and then you'll realise just how much nonsense it is letting a runtime close a file handle, just because it can. This applies to more than just file handles though, it applies to any resource. The same as a GOOD coder has no concept of a string, it's just a list of bytes. Dynamic containers, like vector/map/set etc, most have no idea what's actually going on. But work in assembly for a bit and then you realise how much pain and suffering these dynamic containers save you from.

      Well, or you look at it another way, you rely on the compiler/runtime, so you need to write less code for the same thing. Just because your code is less verbose, doesn't make it worse. If you know you can rely on the compiler/runtime, there is no need to write it out explicitly.
      Your problem is you seem to think that people just forget to close it. It isn't that people forget, but simply that people don't want to.
      Being stupid, and being lazy, are very different things. Generally, smart and lazy people are the best programmers.

I'm just trying to quell the "python fanbois" that no, there actually do exist other languages out there that don't have "auto" file closing. So many "coders" these days think they can string 5 lines of python together, so now they're "software developers". I interviewed 5 or 6 such people in the last couple of weeks. I don't know wtf they are teaching in CS these days, but it's either not getting through to people, or CS education has really taken a nosedive in the last 5 or 6 years. You ask these "software developers" basic data structures questions, or complexity (big oh) questions, and they look at you with a blank stare like you're talking a foreign language.

    Java actually has some edge cases that keeping a file open helps in, like, for example, temporarily adding a certificate to the certificate store without having permissions to actually write to it, because your CA is relatively recent and has compatibility issues with Java (talking about Let's Encrypt here lol)
    this works because Java keeps a copy of the file in memory until you close it that it writes any changes to, before dumping them into the file when you close it. but if that never happens, the file will stay resident in memory, and Java being Java will reuse that copy in memory rather than reloading it into memory when something else in the same vm tries to access that same file, that file being the Java certificate store in this case

    EDIT: Turns out I was wrong, cat is not a shell builtin
    5:07 it doesn't work, but not because it's "an external program" (cat is a shell builtin). It's because by using the symlink in /proc/.../fd/ you're trying to open a _new_ descriptor for the symlink, different from the first one opened as root for the actual file.
    Using the redirection syntax works because then you're reading from the _existing_ descriptor and not opening a new one.
    EDIT: After listening to that bit again I realize you pretty much tried to say the same thing. I think the wording confused me for some reason. Anyway, great video!

    A File Descriptor is NOT a file handle. It has NEVER been a file handle. It is a collection of information about a file, that may or may not be opaque depending of the os/function used to obtain one. A handle may be a component of a descriptor. On Windows for instance, a HANDLE is opaque, I think it's a typedef to a void*, but it's actually also a collection of information, but it's STILL NOT file descriptor.

    Definition of file - named region of memory. If it has name, and some memory associated, then it is file. Note that, there is no requirements for memory in this definition, neither nor requirements for name. As long as it refers to at least bit of any kind of memory, and it is somehow named (and that includes index-names), object is technically file! Even if object is possess properties that can classify it more precisely, it still considered file.
    This is basics, undisputed basics! And if video starts with demonstration of ignorance of basics, it ends for me at that point.

    so when you leave a file open, the root permission of that system can be accessed by another program having access to the running program?

    • @Christobanistan
      @Christobanistan 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I think he's saying the process that opened it while elevated can continue to access it after changing to plain user. Perhaps some system API in OSX did this while starting a new process and didn't close the file, which would give the new process (now running as a user) access to the file.

      @@Christobanistan correct. The vulnerability was in dyld, macOS's dynamic linker (a program that adds the code for libraries your program uses to the code for your program). BTW, the equivalent on Linux is usually ld-linux

    If you do it like this the file closes when you're done.

  • @MatildaHinanawi
    @MatildaHinanawi 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Don't think you explained why the redirect is dependent on not closing the file. No way anything can just read from an opened file just because it's opened. So why then can we read despite it not being opened by or even by the shell?

    0:39 "Everything is not a file" is wrong and means that everything is something but a file. That would mean that file do not exist.
    The correct way would be: "Not everything is a file".
