patch to pass NULL for empty envp arrays (3.12 KB, patch)
2006-11-03 01:57 UTC, Jonathon Jongsma 		none Details | Review

Description Jonathon Jongsma 2006-11-03 01:43:40 UTC 
In the C glib functions g_spawn_async*, you can pass a NULL pointer to indicate that you want the new process to run in the same environment as the parent.  The wrapper functions Glib::spawn_async do not allow this since they require a reference for the envp argument.  I'll attach a patch that will pass a NULL pointer down to the Glib function if the passed envp array is empty

didn't notice the overload.  Sorry.  Ignore this.
