Hi all, (old mail thread: https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2019-May/060139.html)
May I please have your reviews and opinions for the following bug fix: issue: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8223777 cr: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~stuefe/webrevs/8223777-posix_spawn-no-exec-error-alternate-impl/webrev.00/webrev/ --- The fix implements Florians proposal: the jspawnhelper will signal its aliveness to the parent process the moment it gains control. If the parent process does not get the signal, it assumes exec'ing the jspawnhelper never worked. I only do this for posix_spawn mode, out of cautiousness. (Note that I kept the fix as minimal as possible. I found a minor bug and some improvement possibilities and opened follow up issues to track them: JDK-8224180 and JDK-8224181). Thanks, Thomas
