           Summary: Changed environment not passed to child process
           Product: D
           Version: 1.007
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Phobos
        AssignedTo: bugzilla at digitalmars.com
        ReportedBy: t_demmer at web.de


/* 
   Bug in spawnvp (and maybe others):
   Only the initial environment is copied to the child process,
   modifications get lost
   Compile and run, type "SET",
   you should see a line 
   YYY=xxxx
   but you don't.
   Works fine with gdc -mno-cygwin,
   so I guess it is a phobos bug.
*/
import std.process;

extern(Windows) void  SetEnvironmentVariableA(char *lpName, char *lpValue);

int 
main(char[][] args){
  SetEnvironmentVariableA(toStringz("YYY"),toStringz("xxxx"));
  return spawnvp(0,"cmd.exe",args);
}

I did not find guidelines for setting values for Priority,
"Assign To", and "Cc", so sorry for bothering everyone...
