Hello,
Previously we have discussed this:
"Re: make signal text descriptions"
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/make-w32/2003-10/msg00023.html
There are two cases where I think we should display a more accurate
error code Error description:
"Signal 127" (quoted paths) (Also "Error 127", if this is the same)
and "Error 255" (binary did not exist)
It is clearly a failed exec
(http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-06/msg00674.html), and as Earnie
pointed out this is not a signal, but a return code. For these reasons
I think we should display an appropriate message, at least on WINDOWS32
builds
I could not replicate the "Signal 127" message, I could replicate "Error
127", maybe the different win32 build options effect this in a way that
it is incorrectly named as a "Signal" 127 error.
I attatch a test case which replicates "Error 127", what I wonder is why
CreateProcess() is used to swpawn in the first case, and /bin/sh is used
in the 2nd case?
makefile_Error_127.test
Does anyone know where 127 and 255 values are documented as indicating
something in partciular?
Kind regards
JG
