Dumb question: If, as Johannes said, the error code cannot be fetched, can't we set the error code to a POSIX return code indicating a signal? I.e., checking for WIFSIGNALED() returns 1 and WTERMSIG() returns, say, SIGKILL or something? Corinna

I am not sure, but I think it is necessary to modify: pinfo::exit() pinfo::meybe_set_exit_code_from_windows() pinfo::set_exit_code() I guess detecting crash of sbub process needs modification of spawn.cc. -- Takashi Yano

On IRC, you reported that the thread would crash if `cons` was not fixed
up. The symptom was that that crash would apparently prevent the exit code
from being read, and it would be left at 0, indicating potentially
incorrectly that the non-Cygwin process succeeded.
I wonder: What would it take to change this logic so that the crash would
be detected (and not be misinterpreted as exit code 0)?
Ciao,
Johannes

Thank you for fixing this so swiftly. I still wish the logic was
drastically simpler to understand so that even mere humans like myself
would stand a chance to fix such bugs, but I am happy that it is fixed
now.

[PATCH] Cygwin: console: Fix exit code for non-cygwin process.
If non-cygwin process is executed in console, the exit code is not
set correctly. This is because the stub process for non-cygwin app
crashes in fhandler_console::set_disable_master_thread() due to NULL
pointer dereference. This bug was introduced by the commit:
3721a756b0d8 ("Cygwin: console: Make the console accessible from
other terminals."), that the pointer cons is accessed before fixing
when it is NULL. This patch fixes the issue.
Fixes: 3721a756b0d8 ("Cygwin: console: Make the console accessible from other
terminals.")
