If Paul accepts that for platforms other than Cygwin, I certainly won't mind. But please wait for Paul and Christopher to provide their responses. > One more alternative idea.

It can be based on the rationale that spawn() is there to offer > more performant version of fork() + exec(), and its behavior, ideally, > should strictly follow original semantics of this pair. This would require that Cygwin developers bind themselves to that set of requirements, and it still leaves open the issue of what Make does between fork and exec. > P. S.

I will get to that, eventually. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
