This not only avoids the small – and unnecessary – constant overhead for each compiler invocation,
but also helps somewhat by only having “correct” rustc processes to look for in
/proc/.This also makes the wrapper behave effectively as a regular exec wrapper its intended to be.
I also took liberty to change the fallback error code from
1to0xfe(now only relevant on windows) so that when people complain about “compiler exited with code 254”, its obvious where the issue lies (wrapper losing the exit code somehow).r? @alexcrichton
