#46608: qt4-mac: avoid zombie processes -------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: rjvbertin@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.3.3 Keywords: haspatch | Port: qt4-mac -------------------------+-------------------------------- This one has (also) already been presented (because included) in my qt4-mac concurrent ticket, but a bit of independent exposure might be good. Starting a non-existant command through QProcess leads to zombie processes, i.e. inactive, post-termination processes that cannot exit completely because of an open link to their parent process (in this case). This is a bug for which a patch has been contributed but not yet included in Qt4: {{{ # (25) avoid leaving zombies when starting an inexisting executable through QProcess patchfiles-append \ qprocess-nozombies.patch }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/46608> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
