From: Johannes Sixt Date: Thu, 06 Jun 2013 06:34:41 GMT Subject: [PATCH] t0005: skip signal death exit code test on Windows Message-ID: <51B02D81.3000700@viscovery.net> In-Reply-To: <20130605071206.GC14427@sigill.intra.peff.net> From: Johannes Sixt The test case depends on that test-sigchain can commit suicide by a call to raise(SIGTERM) in a way that run-command.c::wait_or_whine() can detect as death through a signal. There are no POSIX signals on Windows, and a sufficiently close emulation is not available in the Microsoft C runtime (and probably not even possible). The particular deficiency is that when a signal is raise()d whose SIG_DFL action will cause process death (SIGTERM in this case), the implementation of raise() just calls exit(3). We could check for exit code 3 in addition to 143, but that would miss the point of the test entirely. Hence, just skip it on Windows.
