           Summary: std.process.execv() not return result, but terminate
                    application
           Product: D
           Version: 2.031
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: nobody puremagic.com
        ReportedBy: golovanov_alexey mail.ru


Phobos in DMD 2.031, 2.030, 1.045 on Windows XP SP3:

function int std.process.execv(in string pathname, in immutable(char)[][] argv)
not return any value, but terminate application.

Short example - caller.exe should run called.exe, then print returned value:

/*** begin file caller.d */
import std.process;
import std.stdio;

void main()
{
  string[] args = ["a1", "b2", "c3"];
  int res = std.process.execv("called.exe", args);
  writefln("res=%d", res); /*this line never executed*/
}/*** end file caller.d */

In Windiws XP environment caller.exe terminates with code 0 while executing
execv() function, and writefln() never executed - no any output occure;

Under debug we can see calls:

_Dmain -> std process execv -> _execv -> ___spawn -> sub_4263F0 -> _exec ->
_exit

This is spec is almost certainly wrong because the POSIX exec* calls replace
the current process with whatever it is called with, The function never returns
unless something goes wrong. These functions should be renamed or re speced.

exec* calls bahaves this way. So IMHO documentation should be fixed.
