This PR mainly fixes the handling of writing to existing read-only files, and adds
test_readonly()
.As a drive-by improvement, this PR also removes some weird wrapping that seems to be unintentional leftovers from history. In short, we used to have a NamedWriter that contained a NamedWriter that contained a NamedWriter that contained the actual file. The run-time impact should be negligible, but removing it makes the code a bit easier to read and edit.
The inspiration for this PR was working towards fixing the GNU test
misc/tee.log
. Note that we still don't fully pass this test because we don't implement "iopoll-powered early exit for closed pipes".
