couchspawnkillable doesn't work on windows
------------------------------------------
Key: COUCHDB-374
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-374
Project: CouchDB
Issue Type: Bug
Environment: windows
Reporter: Mark Hammond
Attachments: couchspawnkillable_win.c
The shell script 'couchspawnkillable' doesn't work on windows, meaning lots of
things are broken in the trunk. It might be possible to bash cygwin/msys etc
to work, but I think a better solution for windows is a custom little C app
which does the same basic thing.
I've attached the source for such an app and it works for me. It creates a
suspended child process with the same handles as us, then echos the 'kill'
command, then spawns the real app and terminates. The 'kill command' is a
reference to the same couchspawnkillable.exe but with a '--kill' command-line.
I've not tried to integrate with a build system, but simple instructions are at
the top of the file.
Attaching it here so it doesn't get lost...
