No; this must be a misunderstanding.
dirfd is specified at
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/dirfd.html
Which says that if "The dirp argument does not refer to a valid directory
stream"
the function may fail with error EINVAL. It may alternatively simply crash
("the behavior is undefined").
In this code, we have two cases, depending on platforms:
- If GNULIB_defined_DIR, it means that gnulib has defined or overridden
the 'DIR' type, to include an 'fd_to_close' field'.
Currently that's only on native Windows, but I'm suggesting that the same
code could also be used on kLIBC.
- Otherwise, gnulib uses either the system-provided dirfd function or macro,
or does a lookup in dir_p->d_fd or dir_p->dd_fd.
