Running `make T3037`directly produces `"ok"` as expected. Presumably there is something funny going on with the testsuite driver's redirection of stdout. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12725#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

I don't think it's GCC, I think ultimately, it's some emulation layer somewhere. `execv` is emulated somewhere, not by calling Windows's `CreateProcess` but probably some other posix function. I suspect it's somewhere in https://github.com/mirror/newlib-cygwin but that wouldn't explain the mingw version of GCC. If you replace `execv` with `CreateProcess` the example works correctly in all compilers {{{ #include #include int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { TCHAR * args[2] = {"ok", NULL}; STARTUPINFO si; PROCESS_INFORMATION pi; ZeroMemory(&si, sizeof(si)); si.cb = sizeof(si); ZeroMemory(&pi, sizeof(pi)); // Start the child process. if (!CreateProcess("ok.exe", // No module name (use command line) args[0], // Command line NULL, // Process handle not inheritable NULL, // Thread handle not inheritable FALSE, // Set handle inheritance to FALSE 0, // No creation flags NULL, // Use parent's environment block NULL, // Use parent's starting directory &si, // Pointer to STARTUPINFO structure &pi) // Pointer to PROCESS_INFORMATION structure ) { return 1; } // Wait until child process exits. WaitForSingleObject(pi.hProcess, INFINITE); // Close process and thread handles. CloseHandle(pi.hProcess); CloseHandle(pi.hThread); return 0; } }}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/12725#comment:7 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler

Cygwin used newlib as it's standard C library implementation. But Cygwin wanted to emulate POSIX systems as closely as possible. So it implemented `execv` using the Windows function `spawnve`. Specifically ``` spawnve (_P_OVERLAY, path, argv, cur_environ ()) ``` `_P_OVERLAY` is crucial, as it makes the function behave *sort of* like execv on linux. the child process replaces the original process. With one major difference because of the difference in process models on Windows: the original process signals the caller that it's done. this is why the file is still locked. because it's still running, control was returned because the parent process was destroyed, but the child is still running. I think it's just pure dumb luck, that the older runtimes are slow enough to give the process time to terminate before we tried deleting the file. Which explains why you do have sporadic failures even on older runtimes like 2.5.0, of a test or two (like T7307). So this patch fixes a couple of things. I leverage the existing `timeout.exe` to implement a workaround for this issue. a) The old timeout used to start the process then assign it to the job. This is slightly faulty since child processes are only assigned to a job is their parent were assigned at the time they started. So this was a race condition. I now create the process suspended, assign it to the job and then resume it. Which means all child processes are not running under the same job. b) First things, Is to prevent dangling child processes. I mark the job with `JOB_OBJECT_LIMIT_KILL_ON_JOB_CLOSE` so when the last process in the job is done, it insures all processes under the job are killed. c) Secondly, I change the way we wait for results. Instead of waiting for the parent process to terminate, I wait for the job itself to terminate. There's a slight subtlety there, we can't wait on the job itself. Instead we have to create an I/O Completion port and wait for signals on it. See https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20130405-00/?p=4743 This fixes the issues on all runtimes for me and makes T7307 pass consistenly. The threading was also simplified by hiding all the locking in a single semaphore and a completion class. Futhermore some additional error reporting was added. For encoding the testsuite now no longer passes a file handle to the subprocess since on windows, sh.exe seems to acquire a lock on the file that is not released in a timely fashion. I suspect this because cygwin seems to emulate console handles by creating file handles and using those for std handles. So when we give it an existing file handle it just locks the file. I what's happening is that it's not releasing the handle until all shared cygwin processes are dead. Which explains why it worked in single threaded mode. So now instead we pass a pipe and do not interpret the resulting data. Any bytes written to stdin or read out of stdout/stderr are done so in binary mode and we do not interpret the data. The reason for this is that we have encoding tests in GHC which pass invalid utf-8. If we try to handle the data as text then python will throw an exception instead of a test comparison failing. Also I have fixed the ability to override `PYTHON` when calling `make tests`. This now works the same as with `.\validate`. Finally, after cleaning up the locks I was able to make the abort behavior work correctly as I believe it was intended: when you press Ctrl+C and send an interrupt signal, the testsuite finishes the active tests and then gracefully exits showing you a report of the progress it did make. So using Ctrl+C will not just *die* as it did before. These changes lift the restriction on which python version you use (msys/mingw) or which runtime or python 3 or python 2. All combinations should now be supported.
