Ell	b590b59542	app: fix #include order in gimp-spawn.c ... ... so that GLib is included before the platform-specific headers, so that we can check for G_OS_WIN32. Spotted by Partha, as usual :)	2018-03-10 02:22:40 -05:00
Ell	52b0e61001	app: in gimp-spawn.c, add missing #include on Windows ... ... and improve argument validation.	2018-03-07 01:41:21 -05:00
Ell	cdb541f81b	app: add gimp_spawn_set_cloexec() ... ... which prevents child processes from inheriting a given pipe, under *nix and Windows.	2018-03-06 16:31:17 -05:00
Ell	95af939903	app: verify input argumets in gimp_spawn_async()	2018-03-05 02:55:53 -05:00
Ell	e1ed39e3a3	app: in gimp-spawn.c, avoid warning when we don't have vfork()	2018-03-05 02:45:47 -05:00
Ell	0f2df18dde	app: add gimp_spawn_async() ... gimp_spawn_async() is similar to, but more limited than, g_spawn_sync(). Unlike the latter, gimp_spawn_async() uses vfork(), instead of fork(), when possible. On Linux, a process that uses large amounts of memory (as GIMP may) can hang during a fork() if overcommitting is enabled, and there's not enough memroy. Using vfork() avoids that, since it doesn't duplicate the parent's address space.	2018-03-05 01:55:40 -05:00
