digitalmars.D - _popen alternative in D?
- Maraco (21/21) Jul 21 2011 Hello.
- Vladimir Panteleev (11/32) Jul 21 2011 This functionality is currently not implemented in D's standard library.
- Maraco (2/2) Jul 21 2011 Ok so i need to wait until process will exit and read output from file
- Vladimir Panteleev (7/9) Jul 21 2011 Here's how I do it (warning: not very good D1 code):
- Maraco (1/1) Jul 21 2011 Thanks. I will try.
- Steven Schveighoffer (11/46) Jul 21 2011 In fact, my windows changes are merged into Lars' branch
- Vladimir Panteleev (9/56) Jul 21 2011 I didn't know it was possible to wrap a Windows pipe in a FILE. Neither ...
- Andrej Mitrovic (2/4) Jul 21 2011 I've run into this issue as well. How low is it exactly?
- Vladimir Panteleev (6/10) Jul 21 2011 Seems to be 60, including the 3 standard streams.

Hello.
I have a specific problem. I need to redirect console output from a
console program to dfl textbox but i cant find function to do it.
std.process.system only shows exiting code. I think
std.process.shell should do it but it is crashing whole program.
If You don't know what im asking for there's code how i've done it
*CODE BEGINS
Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.FileName = "shutdown";
p.StartInfo.Arguments = " /?";
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false;
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true;
p.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true;
p.Start();
string output = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
textBox3.Text = output;
*CODE ENDS
Can you provide me an idea what im doing wrong or alternative to
popen in D langauge?
Regards.

This functionality is currently not implemented in D's standard library.
Lars Kyllingstad implemented this in his version of std.process, but only
supporting the POSIX API.
For Windows, you'll need to do it manually, in the same way as in C:

(In my own projects, I just redirect the output to a temporary file.)

In fact, a DMC file descriptor is just an index into a global array of HANDLES. I had to create a druntime function to wrap a HANDLE in a file descriptor (and get the handle from the fd). The bug in the runtime essentially is that when the pipe is closed from the write end, a read of the file descriptor results in EBADF. This makes the FILE * report it as error instead of EOF. In fact, I think the error should be EPIPE, but dmc's low level handler returns BADF no matter what error occurred when doing ReadFile.In fact, my windows changes are merged into Lars' branch (https://github.com/kyllingstad/phobos/tree/new-std-process) *BUT* (and this is a big but), dmc's runtime incorrectly handles pipes with C's stdio (i.e. FILE *).

You'd probably have to petition Walter for that. And it's not FILE limit, it's the file descriptor limit (set to 60 in stdio.h). -Steve
