#1577 closed Bugs (fixed)

Some commands don't work because hStdInput == 0

Reported by: Takeshi Mouri <takeshi.mouri.net@…> Owned by: René Rivera
Milestone: Boost.Jam 3.1.17 Component: bjam
Version: Boost Development Trunk Severity: Problem

Description

The function execcmd() zero-initializes STARTUPINFO in exent.c at changeset:38009. But HANDLE value 0 is not equal to INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE. So the member hStdInput points an unknown object. In this case, some shell commands such as "echo" fail.

Please add the following codes: 

        /* disable stdin */
        si.hStdInput = INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE;

or 

        /* inherit stdin */
        si.hStdInput = GetStdHandle(STD_INPUT_HANDLE);

(In [49883]) Let the child bjam commands inherit stdin, as some commands assume it's available. (fixes #1577)
