If you think running via /bin/sh is better, I'll restore it, that's trivial.

I'm not familiar with what this is about? I'm away from my computer to look at the code. Is this a plugin to run/spawn external programs and capture output? If so, you may want to check out my external-tools plugin: https://github.com/sblatnick/geany-plugins/tree/external-tools/external-tools/src Thanks, Steve ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.geany.org https://lists.geany.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel

No. Imagine if you need to close a minimized console for each tool (grep, gcc, ...) Geany launches. :) Could you have some wrapper batch script like on Linux? Yes, if you specify an interpreter .exe before the script, such as cmd /c my_gcc -Wall -c %f (win~1 CreatePropcess() starts binary executables only, and the .exe suffix is optional). -- E-gards: Jimmy ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.geany.org https://lists.geany.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel

program crashes, the console will remain on screen until you confirm
the win~1 crash dialog.

So far, I don't plan to use the rewritten spawning for the build
Execute commands, as they may contain or redirection.
It seems that win~1 redirection is either all or none, so if you
capture stdout, there will be no stderr in the console. However, our
redirections are std{out,err}, std{in,out,err} or none (some calls to
utils_spawn_sync).

[Geany-Devel] spawning rewrite - RFC
Hi again, Win~1 supports some weird command line syntaxises: c:\some path\program.exe - without closing quote c:\some path\program.exefoo bar qux - runs program.exe with: argv[0] = c:\some path\program.exefoo (or something similar) argv[1] = bar argv[1] = qux I'm going to disallow the first syntax to be able to join a command and an argument vector, and the second syntax because it's not clear whether all CRTL-s will handle it like msvcrt (the splitting is done by the CRTL, not Windows). The supported variants will be: c:\some path\program.exe c:\some path\program.exe foo bar qux as expected by any sane person. For the arguments, the normal win~1 quoting/escaping rules will apply: foo bar is a single argument foo \bar is a single argument containing a foo \\\bar is a single argument containing \ etc. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb776391.aspx -- E-gards: Jimmy ___ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.geany.org https://lists.geany.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel
