[cdt-dev] Spawner treats environment differently on Windows and Linux

["Sennikovsky, Mikhail" <mikhail.sennikovsky@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

 

While working on the fix for the MBS Internal Builder-related issue (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=145099), I’ve noticed that the Spawner treats environment differently on Windows and Linux (see the bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=145737)

Although it might not seem to be a really critical bug especially when we are close to our release, I’d like to here your opinion on what should be the right way of handling environment: the way used by the Windows Spaner or the way used by the Linux one, since the decision might affect other components using Spawner, e.g. the SIProvider mechanism, MBS Internal Builder i.e. the way the Path environment variable is treated by those components.

See the bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=145737 for more detail and please comment to that bug if you have any ideas regarding this.

 

Thanks,

Mikhail
