Bug 122051

Summary: Add posix_spawn(3)
Product: Base System Reporter: Ed Schouten <ed>
Component: standardsAssignee: David Xu <davidxu>
Status: Closed FIXED    
Severity: Affects Only Me    
Priority: Normal    
Version: 8.0-CURRENT   
Hardware: Any   
OS: Any   

Description Ed Schouten 2008-03-24 15:40:03 UTC
POSIX describes routines called posix_spawn() and posix_spawnp(), which
can be used as replacements for exec/fork in a lot of cases. It doesn't
really matter for FreeBSD, but there are some operating systems that
want to implement POSIX routines, but don't use the MMU, which means
forking is really expensive.

FreeBSD doesn't have the routines in libc, which is bad, because we want
to be as POSIX as possible. ;-)

Fix: 

The following patch adds posix_spawn() and posix_spawnp() to libc. I had
to add yet another exec routine, namely execvpe(). We need to be able to
override the environment, yet make it possible to search through $PATH.

It isn't possible to make the structures opague, which is a pity with
respect to binary compatibility. That's why I've decided to take the
easy path by inlining most of the get/set routines.

This patch still misses a manual page.

As I was pointed out, Gnats probably eat big patches, but because it
will do strange things with MIME, I've stored the patch online:

	http://g-rave.nl/unix/freebsd/freebsd-posix_spawn.diff

It includes more fixes to be POSIX compliant (default values, etc). I've
also added manual pages for all functions that are present in the header
file.

Comment 2 David Xu freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2008-04-17 02:53:45 UTC
what error code should be returned from posix_spawn ? it seems it should
return error number directly (it does not use errno),
the specification said:

"an error number shall be returned as the function return value to 
indicate the error"

so it unlikely will return -1 on failure.

That's strange, isn't it? I can't think of any other C library routines
that return error numbers directly. The OpenSolaris code seems to use
errno.

It's still early in the morning here. OpenSolaris seems to return the
error numbers. I'll update the patch this evening. Thanks!

Also, the manual pages should remove word "shall" or replace it with
something, because we either implement the features or not.

Also, in the following code :
+ case FAE_CLOSE:
+		/* Perform a close() */
+		if (_close(fae->fae_fildes) != 0)
+			_exit(127);
+		break;

I think the it should only check errno EBADF, other error
codes are not failure cases, the file handle is always freed.

  Add POSIX routines called posix_spawn() and posix_spawnp(), which
  can be used as replacements for exec/fork in a lot of cases. This
  change also added execvpe() which allows environment variable
  PATH to be used for searching executable file, it is used for
  implementing posix_spawnp().
