Hi, I have a weired phenomena, I want to discuss before filing a bug report. Sorry, source+data is too big for posting. I have a Programm(in C++) that calls "g++" to compile a number of cpp-files and afterwards calls "ar" to build a static lib. Both "g++" and "ar" are executed using posix_spawnp()+waitpid() (fork() has same behaviour) The Problem is that "ar" somtimes fails because the object-file I compiled just before doesn't exist! It seems like if waitpid() returnns before g++ is actually finished. A simple sleep of 0.5sec avoids the problem. The waitpid() seems to behave as expected: 1. wait longer for bigger cpp-files 2. wait-time matches output of -time 3. I get correct exit-code But the output-file appears later, and output of -time and -v also continue after waitpid() and even after my application has terminated... Am I missing something obvoius??? g++ -version: g++ (Gentoo 4.7.3-r1 p1.4, pie-0.5.5) 4.7.3 Output of run: execute step(build)... CC /home/programming/dlibs/DObj/dobj_object.cpp... g++ -fPIC -Wno-trigraphs -D_REENTRANT -time -O0 -g -DDEBUG -I . -I ../delivery/include/ -c /home/programming/dlibs/DObj/dobj_object.cpp -o objects/dobj_object.o exec.. waited 69ms.. LNK DObj.a... ar rcs DObj.a objects/dobj_object.o exec.. ar: objects/dobj_object.o: No such file or directory waited 3ms.. Exception --> link failed in (null) moze@eddie /home/programming/dlibs $ # cc1plus 0.04 0.00 # as 0.01 0.00 Analysis of run: exex.. + waited.. mark the time my app waits fort he execution of the line before. That is always a little more than the sum of -time output of cc1plus and as Exception ist he apps reaction to the exit-code of ar The output fort he -time option comes after the promt after the app has finished. Thanks in advance Moritz
