new behavior is now optional, test both variants

Why not using posix_spawn() there?

135 ↗(On Diff #182443)

You are not waiting for the termination there, wait_zero(false) only checks for termination and asserts if not. As the consequence, the test is racy, since nothing guarantees that the target has exited when waitpid() is called.

What would be the advantage?

135 ↗(On Diff #182443)

I think you're confusing WNOWAIT with WNOHANG.

That the used API is specifically designed for the task at hand.

135 ↗(On Diff #182443)

No, I do not. Re-read what I wrote: wait_zero(false) may assert falsely.

bin/pwait/tests/pwait_reap.c
135 ↗(On Diff #182443)

No. It will block until the target terminates. It will fail if interrupted, but I don't consider that a problem.

Shouldn't this be pwait_reap_test(false)?

You're right, will fix.
