I think I followed Philip regarding that. I was trying to point out that
option #3...

  3. Move the patch entirely within hooks.c. Just add a second
     definition for run_hook_cmd() along with the existing
     implementation within a #ifndef AS400...#else...#endif
     block.

...requires that SVN_UTF_UTOE_XLATE_HANDLE and SVN_UTF_ETOU_XLATE_HANDLE
be public, since both libsvn_repos and libsvn_subr would now require them.

My description of these is likely not clear enough. They are keys for
caching xlate_handle_node_t structs for conversions between EBCDIC and
UTF-8 and vice-versa when calling svn_utf_cstring_to_utf8_ex() and
svn_utf_cstring_from_utf8_ex(), i.e. the convset_key argument to these
functions. I've tried to improve the comments for these in the attached
patch.

Ah, because the subscripting and postfix increment operators have the same
precedence(?). Changed it to a for loop.

Ok, done. Also removed any trailing periods in the error messages and put
the script name in all error messages, which wasn't consistently done in
the last patch.

We don't support translation as of yet on the iSeries port so I removed
all of them.

Ouch, not sure what I was thinking on that...Fixed.

Agreed, it certainly will hang, changed that.

I changed this to be a while (1) loop that correctly catches errors on
both the read of stdin_handle and the write to stdin_pipe[1].

I'm not familiar with *nix versions of read() so possibly IBM's versions
behave quite differently. Reading IBM's docs for pipe() and read() it's
my understanding that read() would block until it had something to read.
My testing of this patch appears to confirm that (if a script sleeps the
read will block till it wakes up).

From the pipe() docs -
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/index.jsp?topic=/apis/pipe2.htm:

  The pipe() function creates a data pipe and places two
  file descriptors, one each into the arguments fildes[0]
  and fildes[1], that refer to the open file descriptions
  for the read and write ends of the pipe, respectively.
  Their integer values will be the two lowest available at
  the time of the pipe() call. The O_NONBLOCK and
  FD_CLOEXEC flags will be clear on both descriptors.
  NOTE: these flags can, however, be set by the fcntl()
  function.

From the read() docs -
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/index.jsp?topic=/apis/read.htm:

  When attempting to read from an empty pipe or FIFO:

  * If no job has the pipe or FIFO open for writing,
    read() return 0 to indicate end-of-file.

  * If some job has the pipe or FIFO open for writing
    and O_NONBLOCK was not specified, read() will block
    the calling thread until some data is written or
    until the pipe or FIFO is closed by all jobs that
    had the pipe or FIFO open for writing.

Regardless of the above there is another issue: there is no error check on
the read(), so I added one.

Done.

That's gone.

Stupid mistake on my part, 0 is what I wanted. In the interest of even
greater clarity I replaced it with !svn_stringbuf_isempty().

Fixed those three formatting errors.

Thanks a lot for the feedback. Here is the latest version which
incorporates your comments, I've also cleaned up a few other things as
well (renamed some variable, got rid of unnecessary pipe for stdout,
etc.).

[[[
OS400/EBCDIC Port:

This is one of several patches to allow Subversion to run on IBM's
OS400 V5R4. It provides a workaround for various limitations with
IBM's implementation of APR processes.

* subversion/include/svn_utf.h
   (SVN_UTF_UTOE_XLATE_HANDLE, SVN_UTF_ETOU_XLATE_HANDLE): New public
    xlate keys for EBCDIC <--> UTF-8 conversions.

* subversion/libsvn_repos/hooks.c
   Include spawn.h and fcntl.h
   (run_hook_cmd): New "APR-free" implementation for OS400.

* subversion/libsvn_subr/cmdline.c
   (SVN_UTF_ETOU_XLATE_HANDLE): Remove.

* subversion/libsvn_subr/io.c
   (SVN_UTF_UTOE_XLATE_HANDLE): Remove.
