Farid Zaripov commented on STDCXX-543:
--------------------------------------
This issue shouldn't closed until the syntax of the command line of the exec
utility will be changed to unix style.
And possibly the unix makefiles should be updated to pass the list of the
executables using the external file if the resulting command line is too long.
Scheduled to 4.2.1.
> test suite failures due excessively long command lines

> Key: STDCXX-543
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-543
> Project: C++ Standard Library
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Utilities
> Affects Versions: trunk
> Environment: Windows 2000
> Reporter: Martin Sebor
> Assignee: Farid Zaripov
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 4.2.1
>
>
> The test infrastructure (the exec utility to be exact) fails on platforms
> such as Windows 2000 that impose a low limit on the length of the command
> line. See the following post:
> http://www.nabble.com/RE%3A-Windows-build-failures-p12508639.html
> As Farid says in his post, to prevent such failures, excessively long command
> lines need to be written to a temporary file by the infrastructure and
> subsequently read from it by the exec utility.
