This PR works on Windows, but not on POSIX systems. |
Ah, I'll fix that. Thanks! |
@snoyberg I think the appveyor one failed because of a network failure? |

This should actually be 1.4.2.0. Similarly, can you update the ChangeLog and the .cabal file?
Summary: Makes the needed changes to make RemoteGHCi work on Windows. The approach passes OS Handles areound instead of the Posix Fd as on Linux. The reason is that I could not find any real documentation about the behaviour of Windows w.r.t inheritance and Posix FDs. The implementation with Fd did not seem to be able to find the Fd in the child process. Instead I'm using the much better documented approach of passing inheriting handles. This requires a small modification to the `process` library. haskell/process#52 Test Plan: ./validate On Windows x86_64 Reviewers: simonmar, austin, hvr, thomie, bgamari, erikd Subscribers: #ghc_windows_task_force Differential Revision: https://phabricator.haskell.org/D1836 GHC Trac Issues: #11100

It seems common to abbreviate "file descriptor" as Fd
. Given that this convention is used below perhaps it would make sense to preserve consistency here?
Thanks! @snoyberg, would you like to merge this or shall I? |

I've got it, thanks Ben. I'll make a release to Hackage now. |
Thanks Michael! |
@snoyberg btw, please don't forget to PS: I see there's a lightweight tag |

Would like to expose a part of the
createPipe
api which just returns anPosix.FD
instead of a GHCHandle
.This is for the implementation of the Windows bit of
RemoteGHCI
