912 /* This code is stolen from gnulib.
913 If/when we abandon the requirement to work with K&R compilers, we can
914 remove this (and perhaps other parts of GNU make!) and migrate to using
915 gnulib directly.
917 This is called only through atexit(), which means die() has already been
918 invoked. So, call exit() here directly. Apparently that works...?
921 /* Close standard output, exiting with status 'exit_failure' on failure.
922 If a program writes *anything* to stdout, that program should close
923 stdout and make sure that it succeeds before exiting. Otherwise,
924 suppose that you go to the extreme of checking the return status
925 of every function that does an explicit write to stdout. The last
926 printf can succeed in writing to the internal stream buffer, and yet
927 the fclose(stdout) could still fail (due e.g., to a disk full error)
928 when it tries to write out that buffered data. Thus, you would be
929 left with an incomplete output file and the offending program would
930 exit successfully. Even calling fflush is not always sufficient,
931 since some file systems (NFS and CODA) buffer written/flushed data
932 until an actual close call.
934 Besides, it's wasteful to check the return value from every call
935 that writes to stdout -- just let the internal stream state record
936 the failure. That's what the ferror test is checking below.
938 It's important to detect such failures and exit nonzero because many
939 tools (most notably `make' and other build-management systems) depend
940 on being able to detect failure in other tools via their exit status. */
