Re: [cdt-dev] Starter.exe
|
On final comment. We know from personal experience that this area of Cygwin
has been subject to great change. If this is working for you, great! I'd
let sleeping dogs lie.
It just so happens that we are doing some relatively complex things with
cygwin and are very attached to our cygwin version which leaves me (the
fellow doing what no one else wants to) having to figure out how to make it
work.:) --cms
At 08:03 AM 2/4/2003 -0500, you wrote:
Actually in Win priority range for the threads has 31 level.
Starter exists because of GenerateConsoleCtrlEvent causes Ctrl event (Ctrl-C
for example) to come to all process in the target group. So using this
function in spawner causes that javaw process itself gets this event.
starter is a leader of new group and protects javaw.
I don't see any problem to transmit priority setting or any other command
through starter to launched process.
I'll check if in cygwin Ctrl-C doesn't work. So far I haven't gotten any
complains about that. Thanks for the information.
