The vreportf function always goes to stderr, but run-command
wants child errors to go to the parent's original stderr. To
solve this, commit a5487dd duplicates the stderr fd and
installs die and error handlers to direct the output
appropriately (which later turned into the vwritef
function). This has two downsides, though:
- we make multiple calls to write(), which contradicts the
"write at once" logic from d048a96 (print
warning/error/fatal messages in one shot, 2007-11-09).
- the custom handlers basically duplicate the normal
handlers. They're only a few lines of code, but we
should not have to repeat the magic "exit(128)", for
example.
We can solve the first by using fdopen() on the duplicated
descriptor. We can't pass this to vreportf, but we could
introduce a new vreportf_to to handle it.
However, to fix the second problem, we instead introduce a
new "set_error_handle" function, which lets the normal
vreportf calls output to a handle besides stderr. Thus we
can get rid of our custom handlers entirely, and just ask
the regular handlers to output to our new descriptor.
And as vwritef has no more callers, it can just go away.
