Hi, I'm using System.Cmd.rawSystem in a program and have noticed a mysterious flaw:
When I hit Ctrl-C while the child process is running, sometimes: 1) rawSystem returns ExitSuccess or 2) rawSystem raises an IOError saying the child terminated with a signal I am totally at a loss as to explain this difference in behavior. I would prefer it to choose option #2 always. However, even that is not quite ideal. It seems like it would be much better if ExitCode would be replaced with System.Posix.Process.ProcessStatus, which can indicate an Exited (with exit code), Terminated by signal, or Stopped by signal status. Getting an exception when the child was terminated by a signal, but not when it exits with a failure, seems inconsistent. I will probably write my own rawSystem replacement, that returns a ProcessStatus, and put it in MissingH.Cmd. -- John _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list Haskell@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
