Regression introduced in commit b7e5ca4. Mingw lacks kill(), but we were only using it for a sanity check; so we can go with one less check. Also, on OOM error, this function should outright fail rather than claim that the pid file was successfully read. * src/util/virpidfile.c (virPidFileReadPathIfAlive): Skip kill call where unsupported, and report error on OOM. --- > We already skip the /proc check on non-Linux. So I say we just skip > the kill call on Win32. This stuff is only an extra sanity check > Nupon loading the pidfile, so I think returning an error is too > mean and we just skip the kill check Done, and pushing under the build-breaker rule. src/util/virpidfile.c | 7 +++++-- 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/util/virpidfile.c b/src/util/virpidfile.c index e64b0b3..8206e1a 100644 --- a/src/util/virpidfile.c +++ b/src/util/virpidfile.c @@ -200,15 +200,18 @@ int virPidFileReadPathIfAlive(const char *path, if (rc < 0) return rc; - /* Check that it's still alive */ +#ifndef WIN32 + /* Check that it's still alive.
