Tracking Issue for stdio_makes_pipe

[ChrisDenton]

Feature gate: #![feature(stdio_makes_pipe)]

This is a tracking issue for the makes_pipe() method of std::process::Stdio.

Wrappers around std::process::Command may want to be able to override pipe creation. However, std::process::Stdio is opaque so without this method there's no way to tell if Command is being told to create new pipes or not.

Public API

// in std::process

impl Stdio {
     pub fn makes_pipe(&self) -> bool;
}

Unresolved Questions
