wait function raises a TimeoutException when a process returns -1 (Windows) #164

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Create a process that has an exit code of -1
2.Launch that process and use wait with no arguments
3.wait function will raise a TimeoutException, but there is no timeout, the 
application exits with -1, so it should return -1 instead

What version of psutil are you using? What Python version?
It happens on 0.2.1 and on trunk as of 18/05/2011

On what operating system? 
Tested on WinXP/Win7

Please provide any additional information below.
trunk/psutil/_psmswindows.py  -> Line 167 & 168 (it checks for -1)
trunk/psutil/_psutil_mswindows.c -> function process_wait

I've modified the code in r971 to return and check for the actual WAIT_TIMEOUT 
value instead of -1, so that should solve this issue. However, If the process 
for some reason returns WAIT_TIMEOUT (0x00000102) then this will still occur. 
Since -1 is a moderately likely return value and 0x00000102 less so, I think 
that's a reasonable compromise.
