Fix cleanup handling in wait for processes forked without scsh-process

2025-07-02T12:41:53Z

Similar to the C5 code, here we assumed that proc+condition would be true if the pid-or-process argument was a raw pid number, as taken from the table maintained by scsh-process. Unfortunately, this assumption only holds when the process would've been forked using "fork" from the scsh-process egg. If one forked with the "core" fork from CHICKEN itself, both p and pending-before would be false, which would lead to a "(car) bad argument type: #f" error. Reported by Matthew Welland.

Port to CHICKEN 6

2025-02-07T09:50:29Z

This allows us to reduce the code considerably because CHICKEN 6 now has native process objects, so we don't need to keep our own version of process tracking. Note that we still need to keep our own list of child processes created by "fork", because we want the automatic subprocess reaper to be able to work in a thread. This means we still need to have a central mapping of our own subprocesses to condition object so we can signal the thread which is waiting. After all I'm not so sure if this was such a great idea, but it's kind of a neat feature that could be useful, so keep it for now.

Close extraneous file descriptors to prevent an FD leak.

After dup(2)ing an fd into another already existing fd, we can close the original.

Fix issue with redirection in run/port (and, by extension, run/string)

2021-09-14T11:54:29Z

We would initially create a pipe, dup(2) that onto fd 1 in the forked process and open an output port on the original fd. This resulted in a pretty nasty bug: if the fd would be redirected (by number) later, it would not affect the output port because that was set up to point to the original fd. Instead, open an output port to the newly set up stdout and close the direct pipe port.
