F<t/op/spawnw.t> currently fails on Windows. The reason is that the
test expects the exit code in the higher byte of the termination
status. In other words:
set S1, 'perl -e "exit(123)"'
set I1, 99
spawnw I1, S1
shr I2, I1, 8
print "return code: "
print I2
print "\n"
end
On Windows, it is returned as-is, thus it should read:
set S1, 'perl -e "exit(123)"'
set I1, 99
spawnw I1, S1
print "return code: "
print I1
print "\n"
end
The documentation for spawnw (F<ops/sys.ops>) says:
Spawn a subprocess and wait for it to finish. The return status,
which is very system-dependent, goes in $1.
Thus, I guess the place to change is F<t/ops/spawnw.t>. Should I skip
the original tests on Windows, and add Windows specific ones (that are
run only there)?
