defunct process

[jean-christophe81]

Hello

I'm using your library in both linux and windows versions. Thanks for your work.

I had to disable notify_fork and I see you have added a flag to this. I have another issue under linux. If you try to exec an non existing executable, child process still exist in defunct state. I had to to do this fix in posix launcher:

 template <typename Executor, typename Args, typename... Inits>
  auto operator()(
........
.......
      if (ec) {
        **if (pid > 0) {
          ::kill(pid, SIGKILL);
          ::waitpid(pid, nullptr, 0);
        }**
        detail::on_error(*this, executable, argv, ec, inits...);
        return basic_process<Executor>{exec};
      }
    }
    basic_process<Executor> proc(exec, pid);
    detail::on_success(*this, executable, argv, ec, inits...);
    return proc;
  }

So, zombie process on execve failure?
