Greetings!
posix_spawn is returning non-zero without setting errno:
massert(!posix_spawnp(&pid, *p1, &file_actions, &attr, (void *)p1,
environ));
Is this intended to be supported? Is it known to be working or not
working elsewhere?
This kind of question should be sent to the main Cygwin mailing list
cygwin@cygwin.com, now CC'd. Please follow up there if necessary.
On failure, posix_spawnp() returns the error number rather than setting
errno. This is a convention followed by some number of the posix_*()
functions; which ones is a question for readers of the POSIX standard ;-).
