Hello. I was looking at removing CVS's internal waitpid substitute in favor of the GNULIB wait-process module, but it's missing one feature I need. CVS needs to detect core dumps in the child of the server so that the parent knows not to clean up the temporary workspace the server is using. This is for debugging purposes, really, but I can think of no good alternative that doesn't require a complete .
I could stick with waitpid() in this instance, but I would like to include the other features of wait-process and waitpid() is the last AC_REPLACE_FUNC module in our lib directory that doesn't come from GNULIB. (Well, valloc() is still technically in there, but I believe that I have almost eliminated that re the recent thread.)
Would you be amenable to a modification to wait-process that allows core dumps to be detected? I would be satisfied if a 126 return status meant a core dump, but the most general solution might be an extra optional &signal var passed in that was filled with sanitized signal codes (e.g. SIGXXX) when such were detected.
Regards,
