[Caml-list] Sys_error "Bad file descriptor"

[Caml-list] Sys_error "Bad file descriptor"

[wester]

Hi,

I try to open a file with append mode. Opening and writing to the file 
works but when I try to flush or close the file I get an error message:

let h_out = open_out_gen ~mode:[Open_append; Open_creat] ~perm:666 "f1.txt";;
Printf.fprintf h_out "%s" "something";;
close_out h_out;;

Uncaught exception: Sys_error "Bad file descriptor".

I'm running OCaml 3.1 on Windows NT 4.0. Any help is appreciated.

Sorry, I have a big mistake.

I try the following.

method log_open name =
      out <- open_out_gen [Open_append;Open_creat;Open_wronly] 0o666 name;

Now, it works.

Thanks.

[Caml-list] Sys_error("Bad file descriptor")

[IKEDA Katsumi]

Hi, 

I make my log class the following.

---------------- pslog.ml ----------------
(* pslog.ml *)
class log =
  object
  val mutable out = stderr
  method log_open name =
      out <- open_out_gen [Open_append;Open_creat] 0o666 name;
  method log_close = close_out out
  method write mes =
      output_string out mes; flush out;
end
---------------- pslog.ml ----------------


I use on Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 :
    mylog#log_open(/var/tmp/mylog);
    mylog#write("program start\n");

Then the following error occurred.

  Fatal error: exception Sys_error("Bad file descriptor")


On FreeBSD 4.5, same error occurred.
On Red Hat Linux 7.2, no error occurred.

I change 
      out <- open_out_gen [Open_append;Open_creat] 0o666 name;
into
      out <- open_out name;
then program works well.

When I write in my pslog.ml --
  Printf.printf "out = %d\n" (Obj.magic out); flush stdout;
same value is printed.

What is wrong?

Thanks.
