I'm not a big fan of this fix, but - at least - it works.
With this code, finally, Process does not behave the same at all on Windows and Linux.
This patch does not smells very good but it solves the random failing test issue (that produced at runtime too).
Actually, calling
proc_get_status
within the waiting loop introduced the bug.So this PR reverts to the previous behavior (consider a process running as long as pipes give data). On Windows, this is not the same behavior as we're not using streams but file handles. Whereas the feof of a stream is detected when the other side closes, the feof of a file handle can be reached at any time. So, on Windows,
proc_get_status
is called (checking the feof of the file handle might be positive until the executable outputs something), and we consider a process running as long as the information returned says it's running.We could think of decouple windows and linux logic in two separated objects, using the interfaces I introduced in #8753. This could bring much more readability and make the code more easy to understand.
