The unix and windows process implementations diverge in their behavior
when dealing with subprocesses that are spawned with a relative path.
With unix the *child's* PATH environment variable is read, whereas
with windows the *parent's* environment variable is read.
This commit brings the two implementation in line with respect to
their behavior of reading PATH by having both read the *child's* PATH
environment variable. This involves looking into the user-provided
environment on windows and extracting the PATH variable specifically
so it can be inspected later on.
The PATH-parsing code for windows erroneously contained an infinite
loop when the PATH started with a leading semicolon. Each iteration of
the loop usually bumped over the separator, but if the first character
was a semicolon then it would never skip it, causing the infinite
loop.
Closes#909
If the same file description is open in two different processes, then
closing the file descriptor is not sufficient to deregister it from the
epoll instance (as described in epoll(7)), resulting in spurious events
that cause the event loop to spin repeatedly. So always explicitly
deregister it.
Fixes#1099.

This improves API consistency with uv_read and uv_write and may
improve efficiency for some uses. Vectored IO is emulated when the
requisite system calls are unavailable.

Every file descriptor opened using libuv should be automatically marked
as CLOEXEC to prevent it from leaking to a child process. Note that
since we are opening fds in a thread pool, there is a possible race
condition between `uv_spawn()` and the `open()` + `uv__cloexec()`. The
rwlock was added to avoid it.
see https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/6905
Thus allow passing the same file descriptor as the source of multiple
stdios.

fix#1074
Allow UV_EACCES as a successful return value when uv_spawn fails.
When the PATH environment variable contains a directory which the
user cannot access, execvp may return EACCES instead of ENOENT.
fix#1045.
If spawning a process fails due to an exec() failure (but it succeeded
in forking), then this should be considered a spawn failure instead of
an asynchronous termination of the process. This allows to check for
common exec() failure conditions such as a bad path quickly instead of
having to rely on keeping track of the async callback.
Additionally, the meaning of the two fields returned in the callback are
now exactly what they advertise to be. The process exit argument is not
one of two values depending on what happened to the child.
Fixes#978.
Passing or returning structs as values makes life hard for people that
work with libuv through a foreign function interface. Switch to a
pointer-based approach.

This means we no longer have to strip the high bit from the process exit
code on Windows, which is problematic because an unhandled SEH exception
can make a process exit with a status code that has the high bit set.
This commit changes the libuv API to return error codes directly rather
than storing them in a loop-global field.
A code snippet like this one:
if (uv_foo(loop) < 0) {
uv_err_t err = uv_last_error(loop);
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", uv_strerror(err));
}
Should be rewritten like this:
int err = uv_foo(loop);
if (err < 0)
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", uv_strerror(err));
The rationale for this change is that it should make creating bindings
for other languages a lot easier: dealing with struct return values is
painful with most FFIs and often downright buggy.
Don't try to set a bogus UID or GID and expect to get a meaningful
error. The test expected EPERM but SunOS returns EINVAL because the
id is outside of the range of valid user/group ids.
Try to switch to UID/GID 0. Give up privileges first if we're root,
else the setuid/setgid system call will succeed when it's expected
to fail.
They're BSD-isms and obsolete ones at that. Replace with S_IRUSR and
S_IWUSR. Alias as _S_IREAD and _S_IWRITE on Windows because the '90s
never ended in Redmond, WA.
This changes the prototype of uv_run() from:
int uv_run(uv_loop_t* loop);
To:
int uv_run(uv_loop_t* loop, uv_run_mode mode);
Where `mode` is UV_RUN_DEFAULT, UV_RUN_ONCE or UV_RUN_NOWAIT.
Fixes#683.
Currently, `uv_spawn` will set `environ` to the value of `options.env`, even if
`options.env` is `NULL`. This results in child processes for whom `environ ==
NULL`, which can cause a variety of unexpected issues.
Formerly spawn errors would be reported as a message printed to the
process' stderr, to match unix behaviour. Unix has now been fixed to
be more sensible, so this hack can now be removed.
This also fixes a race condition that could occur when the user closes
a process handle before the exit callback has been made.
