60/* Execute a program, possibly setting up pipes to programs executed
61 via other calls to this function.
62
63 This version of the function uses vfork. In general vfork is
ecc30353 64 similar to setjmp/longjmp, in that any variable which is modified by
fed8129b
ILT
65 the child process has an indeterminate value in the parent process.
66 We follow a safe approach here by not modifying any variables at
67 all in the child process (with the possible exception of variables
68 modified by xstrerror if exec fails, but this is unlikely to be
69 detectable).
70
71 We work a little bit harder to avoid gcc warnings. gcc will warn
72 about any automatic variable which is live at the time of the
73 vfork, which is non-volatile, and which is either set more than
74 once or is an argument to the function. This warning isn't quite
75 right, since what we really care about is whether the variable is
76 live at the time of the vfork and set afterward by the child
77 process, but gcc only checks whether the variable is set more than
78 once. To avoid this warning, we ensure that any variable which is
79 live at the time of the vfork (i.e., used after the vfork) is set
80 exactly once and is not an argument, or is marked volatile. */
