Hi/2.

Why should we define MIN/MAX macros this way in sys/param.h ?

g++ does not understand them.

Just define them normally.

It seems that _abspath() does not involve a call to __libc_PathRewrite() to expand things like /@unixroot/my/path to proper paths. As a result, an attempt to call this function on such a path will return X:/@unixroot/my/path (where X: is the current drive) which in most cases will be a completely invalid path (which doesn't lead to what the original path before calling _abspath() would lead to).

More details are here ​http://svn.netlabs.org/qt4/ticket/282.

The current version of spawnpe() unconditionally adds an .exe extension to the program name if it appears to have no extension and then performs a search along PATH. As a result, if there is a program that has no extension (e.g. a bash/perl script without the .sh extension which is very common), such a program will never be found by this function.

Currently, this limitation may be worked around by creating a symlink to the program that has .exe on the end — this symlink will make spanwpe() happy. However, this workaround has several disadvantages:

1. It requires an additional file (FS pollution and such).
2. It fulls CMD.EXE which is unable to process symlinks and will just fail.
