Yeah. We have attempted to work around this before, but failed to find
a solution without more downsides than upsides. I will be interested
to look at this patch, but lack time for it right now. Anybody else?
Ah, I didn't find that mention in the documentation when I was trying to
get this working. Sorry about that!
My argument in favour of considering this patch is that making
"./configure; make; make check" work on current major operating systems
makes it easier for others to contribute in the future. I think the
disadvantage of this patch is it makes pg_regress harder to understand,
because it requires an #ifdef for this OS specific behaviour, and
obscures the command lines of the child processes it spawns.
This addresses only pg_regress. What about all the other test suites?
Per the previous discussions, you'd need to patch up other places in a
similar way, potentially everywhere system() is called.
