Subject: Use vfork if possible on Darwin (bug#26397)
X-Git-Tag: emacs-26.0.90~521^2~603
X-Git-Url: http://git.eshelyaron.com/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a13eaddce2ddbe3ba0b7f4c81715bc0fcdba99f6;p=emacs.git

Use vfork if possible on Darwin (bug#26397)

Co-authored-by: YAMAMOTO Mitsuharu <mituharu@math.s.chiba-u.ac.jp>

* src/conf_post.h (HAVE_WORKING_VFORK): Don't undef.
(vfork): Don't define.
* src/process.c (create_process) [DARWIN_OS]: Use fork if pty_flag is
set, otherwise vfork.
* src/callproc.c (call_process) [DARWIN_OS]: Use TIOCNOTTY to detach
the controlling terminal instead of setsid.
