84 // MultiProcessTest ------------------------------------------------------------
85 
86 // A MultiProcessTest is a test class which makes it easier to
87 // write a test which requires code running out of process.
88 //
89 // To create a multiprocess test simply follow these steps:
90 //
91 // 1) Derive your test from MultiProcessTest. Example:
92 //
93 //    class MyTest : public MultiProcessTest {
94 //    };
95 //
96 //    TEST_F(MyTest, TestCaseName) {
97 //      ...
98 //    }
99 //
100 // 2) Create a mainline function for the child processes and include
101 //    testing/multiprocess_func_list.h.
102 //    See the declaration of the MULTIPROCESS_TEST_MAIN macro
103 //    in that file for an example.
104 // 3) Call SpawnChild("foo"), where "foo" is the name of
105 //    the function you wish to run in the child processes.
106 // That's it!

113   // 'procname' is the name of a function which the child will

115   // run.
