--- Comment #3 from Tobias Burnus <burnus at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-05-11 19:19:40 UTC --- Created attachment 24226 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=24226 Draft patch (untested) (In reply to comment #2) > The program is executed, as the called program "hello.exe" prints "Hello > world". After that hello.exe returns and the runtime error occurs. As cmdstat is set to -2, there will be an error in set_cmdstat: else if (value != 0) runtime_error ("Could not execute command line"); The check should be > 0. > Further testing shows that it is executed synchronously, presumably because > asynchronous execution is not implemented (yet?) on Windows. Indeed. That seems to be the problem. fork() does not seem to be supported. Kai suggests to use _spawnvpe with cmd.exe/command.com
