Mark Hammond updated COUCHDB-374:
---------------------------------
Attachment: couchspawnkillable_win.c
I noticed that depending on how erlang itself is started, couchspawnkillable
may not have a valid stderr, so would fail. This new version only considers
failure to duplicate stdin and stdout fatal and ignores failure duplicating
stderr.
> couchspawnkillable doesn't work on windows
> ------------------------------------------

> Key: COUCHDB-374
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-374
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Bug
> Environment: windows
> Reporter: Mark Hammond
> Attachments: couchspawnkillable_win.c
>
>
> The shell script 'couchspawnkillable' doesn't work on windows, meaning lots
> of things are broken in the trunk. It might be possible to bash cygwin/msys
> etc to work, but I think a better solution for windows is a custom little C
> app which does the same basic thing.
> I've attached the source for such an app and it works for me. It creates a
> suspended child process with the same handles as us, then echos the 'kill'
> command, then spawns the real app and terminates. The 'kill command' is a
> reference to the same couchspawnkillable.exe but with a '--kill'
> command-line. I've not tried to integrate with a build system, but simple
> instructions are at the top of the file.
> Attaching it here so it doesn't get lost...
