#3649: inconsistent exception between unix/windows for running non-existant program --------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Reporter: duncan | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: 7.6.2 Component: libraries/process | Version: 6.10.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Difficulty: Unknown Test Case: | Blocked By: Blocking: | Related Tickets: --------------------------------------+------------------------------------ Changes (by duncan): * status: closed => new * resolution: fixed => Comment: Note that the C code still says (roughly): {{{ if (close_fds) { int i; // XXX Not the pipe for (i = 3; i < max_fd; i++) { close(i); } } }}} Which means that this nice new error handling will (I think) go wrong in the `CreateProcess { close_fds = True }` case. Should be easy to fix, just something like... {{{ for (i = 3; i < max_fd; i++) { if (i != forkCommunicationFds[1]) { close(i); } } }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/3649#comment:10 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
