waitpid() issue?

[SilvanScherrer]

while working on glib2 testcases I get a lot errors like:

(./gvariant.exe:49046): GLib-WARNING **: GChildWatchSource: Exit status of a child process was requested but ECHILD was received by waitpid(). Most likely the process is ignoring SIGCHLD, or some other thread is invoking waitpid() with a nonpositive first argument; either behavior can break applications that use g_child_watch_add()/g_spawn_sync() either directly or indirectly.

GLib:ERROR:E:/Trees/glib2/git/glib/tests/gvariant.c:2841:do_failed_test: child process (/gvariant/varargs/subprocess/empty-array [49049]) did not fail as expected

Killed by SIGABRT pid=0xbf96 ppid=0xbf95 tid=0x0001 slot=0x00b4 pri=0x0200 mc=0x0001 ps=0x0010 E:\TREES\GLIB2\BUILD\GLIB\TESTS\GVARIANT.EXE

steps to reproduce:

• clone glib2

• autoreconf it

• run configure with: `` LDFLAGS="-Zhigh-mem -Zomf -Zargs-wild -Zargs-resp" LIBS="-lpthread -lcx" CFLAGS="-I/@unixroot/usr/include/bind9" export CFLAGS LDFLAGS LIBS

  export VENDOR="%{vendor}"

  ../git/configure \ --enable-shared --disable-static \ --with-pcre=system \ --program-prefix= --prefix=/@unixroot/usr --exec-prefix=/@unixroot/usr --bindir=/@unixroot/usr/bin \ --sbindir=/@unixroot/usr/sbin --sysconfdir=/@unixroot/etc --datadir=/@unixroot/usr/share \ --includedir=/@unixroot/usr/include --libdir=/@unixroot/usr/lib --libexecdir=/@unixroot/usr/libexec \ --localstatedir=/@unixroot/var --sharedstatedir=/@unixroot/usr/com --mandir=/@unixroot/usr/share/man \ --infodir=/@unixroot/usr/share/info >build.log ``

• add build\glib.libs dir to beginlibpath (needed so it uses the built glib20.dll for internal stuff)

• make

• then either add all .libs subdir to beginlibpath, or copy the 4 dll to a single location and add only this location to it

• got to build\glib\tests directory

• make gvariant.exe

• execute gvariant.exe

this should give a trp file and the above message

Can confirm that.

According to my tests, this has nothing to do with LIBC, it's a Glib guilt. Will create a ticket.

Closing this as nothing to fix.
