Spring cleaning is here! In the Fall! This commit removes quite a large amount
of deprecated functionality from the standard libraries. I tried to ensure that
only old deprecated functionality was removed.
This is removing lots and lots of deprecated features, so this is a breaking
change. Please consult the deprecation messages of the deleted code to see how
to migrate code forward if it still needs migration.
[breaking-change]
There was a bug in both libnative and libuv which prevented child processes from
being spawned correctly on windows when one of the arguments was an empty
string. The libuv bug has since been fixed upstream, and the libnative bug was
fixed as part of this commit.
When updating libuv, this also includes a fix for #15149.
Closes#15149Closes#16272
In order to have the spawning semantics be the same for unix/windows, the
child's PATH environment variable needs to be searched rather than the parent's
environment variable.
If the child is inheriting the parent's PATH, then no action need be taken as
windows will do the heavy lifting. If the child specifies its own PATH, then it
is searched beforehand for the target program and the result is favored if a hit
is found.
cc #15149, but does not close the issue because libgreen still needs to be
updated.
