[PATCH v3] libiberty: Use posix_spawn in pex-unix when available.
Hi, This patch implements pex_unix_exec_child using posix_spawn when available. This should especially benefit recent macOS (where vfork just calls fork), but should have equivalent or faster performance on all platforms. In addition, the implementation is substantially simpler than the vfork+exec code path. Tested on x86_64-linux. v2: Fix error handling (previously the function would be run twice in case of error), and don't use a macro that changes control flow. v3: Match file style for error-handling blocks, don't close in/out/errdes on error, and check close() for errors. libiberty/ * configure.ac (AC_CHECK_HEADERS): Add spawn.h. (checkfuncs): Add posix_spawn, posix_spawnp. (AC_CHECK_FUNCS): Add posix_spawn, posix_spawnp. * aclocal.m4, configure, config.in: Rebuild. * pex-unix.c [HAVE_POSIX_SPAWN] (pex_unix_exec_child): New function.
