// same instance of VC++ library.
// However Electron is linking with VC++ library statically, so electron.exe
// shares a different instance of VC++ library with node.exe. This results
// in fd created in electron.exe not usable in node.dll, so we have to ensure
// we always create fd in one instance of VC++ library.
// Followings wrappers are compiled in node.dll, and all code in electron.exe
// should call these wrappers instead of calling _open_osfhandle directly.
