    From rswindell@VERT to CVS commit on Sun Aug 2 13:23:34 2020
    src/sbbs3 xtrn.cpp 1.262 1.263
    Update of /cvsroot/sbbs/src/sbbs3
    In directory cvs:/tmp/cvs-serv16614

    Modified Files:
    xtrn.cpp
    Log Message:
    Add support for %^ command-line specifer which expands to the system architecture (e.g. "i686" for Win32 builds, "x64" for Linux-x86_64 builds).
    Currently, there underlying XPDEV macro definition does not differentiate between arm32 and arm64, but it should. Next...

    Don't do the special DOSEMU cmdline specifier magic if the cmd starts with '?'

    JavaScript modules are intuitively "native" and have not historically required the "native" option to be set to "yes" in SCFG.

    Modified Files:

    Log Message:
    Trim white-space from the start of stderr-logged string from xtrns

    ... like the last commit that did this, but do in the other 2 places where stderr output is logged as log messages.
    Also, include the extended program name in the stderr log messages, making it easier to find the output you're looking for.

    Modified Files:

    Log Message:
    A second pass at: Better native vs. DOS cmd-line detection in cmdstr()

    cmdstr() is often called for non-executable command-lines (e.g. for @include: file name/path arguments), so don't default to native unless a mode value was specified. Hopefully addresses issue reported by bobrob without breaking anything else (again).

    the info-level debug message "Detaching external process"... as this appears
    to be the cause of background events hanging sometimes, on Linux (at least).

    Add node interrupt flag checking to *nix external() execution of stdio progs

    and abort the execution of the program when the node is interrupted. This should allow more cases were the node interrupt flag can be used to gracefully disconnect a user running a DOS or native (stdio) program on *nix.

    We have this functionality already in the Windows version of external()

    Log Message:
    Disable pause when running an external program.

    Not sure if this is from the terminal overhaul or from the unicode
    support, but passthru_thread calls rputs() which calls cp437_out()
    which calls outchar() which calls check_pause().

    Also, put an EINTR wrapper around waidpid()... that wasn't the
    problem I was seeing, but it's a theoretically possible one.

    Log Message:
    Fix error in 35d530c3a4e

    Instead of looping while waitpid() returned an error due to a signal,
    it was looping *until* waitpid() returned an error due to a signal.

    This could cause an infinite loop on *nix systems after an external
    exited if waitpid() was returning an error for some other reason.
