chg: replace mercurial.util.recvfds() by simpler pure Python implementation On Python 3, we have socket.socket.recvmsg(). This makes it possible to receive FDs in pure Python code. The new code behaves like the previous implementations, except that it?s more strict about the format of the ancillary data. This works because we know in which format the FDs are passed. Because the code is (and always has been) specific to chg (payload is 1 byte, number of passed FDs is limited) and we now have only one implementation and the code is very short, I decided to stop exposing a function in mercurial.util. Note on terminology: The SCM_RIGHTS mechanism is used to share open file descriptions to another process over a socket. The sending side passes an array of file descriptors and the receiving side receives an array of file descriptors. The file descriptors are different in general on both sides but refer to the same open file descriptions. The two terms are often conflated, even in the official documentation. That?s why I used ?FD? above, which could mean both ?file descriptor? and ?file description?.
