_______________________________________________________
Details:
I build gnumake and run it on windows. When executing a command ($(shell ..),
the command executes, but afterwards make crashes because the MS debug
C-Runtime detects a close(-1) and throws an error.
When debugging, I saw that the offending close was at
function.c:1687
/* Close the write side of the pipe. */
(void) close (pipedes[1]);
pipedes[1] is -1, pipedes[0] is a valid file handle.
A workaround at this point would be a if(pipedes[1]!=-1) close(..)
...
When debugging further, I looked at the function "windows32_openpipe". What
happens is that the child process spawns fine, but the line 1490:
pipedes[1] = _open_osfhandle((long) hChildOutWr, O_APPEND);
sets pipedes[1] to -1.
I actually don't get this coding, but maybe its me. What I don't understand
is how the stdin to the child process is supposed to work at all. Parent
hands down its own duplicated stdin to the child
(see line 1471, "hProcess = process_init_fd(hIn, hChildOutWr,
hErr);"
and later on tries to get an OS handle for the write end of the child's
stdout pipe (line 1490)?
As I said, maybe I simply don't get it. Microsoft's example for
stdio-redirection looks different:

"How to spawn console processes with redirected standard handles"
