The program I am invoking - slave.exe - simply displays its arguments on stdout. import std.process; import std.c.stdio; int main(string[] args) { // This compiles and runs. It creates out.txt but the file is // empty. string[] pargs = [ "?", "A", "B" ]; freopen("out.txt", "w", stdout); int rv = execvp("slave.exe", pargs); return rv; // If I build the following VC6 program it behaves as expected // I see the echoed arguments in out.txt /* char *pargs[4]; pargs[0] = "?"; pargs[1] = "A"; pargs[2] = "B"; pargs[3] = NULL; freopen("out.txt", "w", stdout); execvp("slave.exe", pargs); return 0; */ } Without the freopen, slave.exe displays the arguments to the console and then hangs - the C program behaves the same way in that case. I tried constructing an array of char* arguments explicitly with a terminating null, and then calling std.c.process.execvp, but the behavior is the same.
