Martin Sebor reassigned STDCXX-543:
-----------------------------------
Assignee: Andrew Black
Andrew, I'm assigning this to you. It would be great to implement this
enhancement to exec before the 4.2 release if you have time. Otherwise, please
schedule it for 4.2.1.
> test suite failures due excessively long command lines
> ------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: STDCXX-543
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-543
> Project: C++ Standard Library
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Utilities
> Affects Versions: trunk
> Environment: Windows 2000
> Reporter: Martin Sebor
> Assignee: Andrew Black
> Priority: Critical
>
> The test infrastructure (the exec utility to be exact) fails on platforms
> such as Windows 2000 that impose a low limit on the length of the command
> line. See the following post:
> http://www.nabble.com/RE%3A-Windows-build-failures-p12508639.html
> As Farid says in his post, to prevent such failures, excessively long command
> lines need to be written to a temporary file by the infrastructure and
> subsequently read from it by the exec utility.
