The following error message appears in the terminal from which emacs was
started every time I use the 'compile' command:
> emacs: writing to child signal FD: Invalid argument
The compilation itself (via make) works perfectly fine. Only this new
message is a bit annoying. And so cryptic, isn't it? It did not appear
up until the latest update.
This error message (or whatever it is) appears also, when I start emacs
from a non-X tty (Ctrl + Alt + F2) and with '-Q' option. To be precise,
it appears when I use 'M-x compile' and for longer compilation processes
it appears at the end of the compilation, not at the beginning.
Best Regards,
Tom

When a sub-process exits, Emacs writes to file descriptor which it
monitors with pselect. This is so we don't miss SIGCHLD for some
reason. Why in your case this write errors out with EINVAL, I don't
know. Perhaps Paul (CC'ed) could have some ideas.
If this could happen for benign reasons, maybe we should silently
ignore these errors.

Didn't you already remove that message on the main branch in September?

Thanks for that clarification... I received my version of 29.3 as a
regular package update
for slackware 15. My system is pimped with some 32bit libraries from
alienbob,
another distributer of slackware packages. As a user with little to no
insight in the emacs
internals I would like to know, if this error message appears on other
systems aswell and
on other slackware systems in particular. Maybe the bug-report has to go
to the slackware
package maintainer?

Please do report to them, it cannot possibly do any harm. When you
do, please ask them to tell us here whether this could be caused by
some downstream change they made in Emacs, or by some of the libraries
you have installed.
Thanks.

OK, I'm therefore closing the bug, as in Emacs 30 this message will
not happen even if you don't redirect.
