--- Comment #2 from Janne Blomqvist <jb at gcc dot gnu.org> --- Author: jb Date: Fri May 17 18:18:04 2019 New Revision: 271340 URL: https://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs?rev=271340&root=gcc&view=rev Log: libfortran/90038: Use posix_spawn instead of fork fork() semantics can be problematic. Most unix style OS'es have posix_spawn which can be used to replace fork + exec in many cases. For more information see e.g. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prod/2019/04/fork-hotos19.pdf This replaces the one use of fork in libgfortran with posix_spawn. 2019-05-17 Janne Blomqvist <j...@gcc.gnu.org> PR libfortran/90038 * configure.ac (AC_CHECK_FUNCS_ONCE): Check for posix_spawn. * intrinsics/execute_command_line (execute_command_line): Use posix_spawn. * Makefile.in: Regenerated. * config.h.in: Regenerated. * configure: Regenerated.
