Feature #8981: Suggestion for CreateProcess flags with rubyw on windows

Hi,

I've spent some time looking into the feasibility of using rubyw in my code and at first glance it looks ideal. However there are a lot of console windows flashing up when I run external processes using Open3::popen3 (because I want to capture their stdout and stderr). I believe that creating a process without CREATE_NO_WINDOW in rubyw is a bug, as the whole point of rubyw is that it doesn't pop up a console.

If there is agreement I'm happy to file a bug report/submit a patch.

Cheers,
James

I would just open a ticket, this will give you a much better chance at feedback.
