namespace perfetto {

// Handles creation and lifecycle management of subprocesses, taking care of
// all subtleties involved in handling processes on UNIX.
// This class allows to deal with macro two use-cases:
// 1) fork() + exec() equivalent: for spawning a brand new process image.
//    This happens when |args.exec_cmd| is not empty.
//    This is safe to use even in a multi-threaded environment.
// 2) fork(): for spawning a process and running a function.
//    This happens when |args.entrypoint_for_testing| is not empty.
//    This is intended only for tests as it is extremely subtle.
//    This mode must be used with extreme care. Before the entrypoint is
//    invoked all file descriptors other than stdin/out/err and the ones
//    specified in |args.preserve_fds| will be closed, to avoid each process
//    retaining a dupe of other subprocesses pipes. This however means that
//    any non trivial calls (including logging) must be avoided as they might
//    refer to FDs that are now closed. The entrypoint should really be used
//    just to signal a pipe or similar for synchronizing sequencing in tests.

//
// This class allows to control stdin/out/err pipe redirection and takes care
// of keeping all the pipes pumped (stdin) / drained (stdout/err), in a similar
// fashion of python's subprocess.Communicate()
// stdin: is always piped and closed once the |args.input| buffer is written.
// stdout/err can be either:
//   - dup()ed onto the parent process stdout/err.
//   - redirected onto /dev/null.
//   - piped onto a buffer (see output() method). There is only one output
//     buffer in total. If both stdout and stderr are set to kBuffer mode, they
//     will be merged onto the same. There doesn't seem any use case where they
//     are needed distinctly.
//
// Some caveats worth mentioning:
// - It always waitpid()s, to avoid leaving zombies around. If the process is
//   not terminated by the time the destructor is reached, the dtor will
//   send a SIGKILL and wait for the termination.
// - After fork()-ing it will close all file descriptors, preserving only
//   stdin/out/err and the fds listed in |args.preserve_fds|.
// - On Linux/Android, the child process will be SIGKILL-ed if the calling
//   thread exists, even if the Subprocess is std::move()-d onto another thread.
//   This happens by virtue PR_SET_PDEATHSIG, which is used to avoid that
//   child processes are leaked in the case of a crash of the parent (frequent
//   in tests). However, the child process might still be leaked if execing
//   a setuid/setgid binary (see man 2 prctl).
//
// Usage:
// base::Subprocess p({"/bin/cat", "-"});
// (or equivalently:
//     base::Subprocess p;
//     p.args.exec_cmd.push_back("/bin/cat");
//     p.args.exec_cmd.push_back("-");
//  )
// p.args.stdout_mode = base::Subprocess::kBuffer;
// p.args.stderr_mode = base::Subprocess::kInherit;
// p.args.input = "stdin contents";
// p.Call();
// (or equivalently:
//     p.Start();
//     p.Wait();

// EXPECT_EQ(p.returncode(), 0);
