71 
72 // A MultiProcessTest is a test class which makes it easier to
73 // write a test which requires code running out of process.
74 //
75 // To create a multiprocess test simply follow these steps:
76 //
77 // 1) Derive your test from MultiProcessTest. Example:
78 //
79 //    class MyTest : public MultiProcessTest {
80 //    };
81 //
82 //    TEST_F(MyTest, TestCaseName) {
83 //      ...
84 //    }
85 //
86 // 2) Create a mainline function for the child processes and include
87 //    testing/multiprocess_func_list.h.
88 //    See the declaration of the MULTIPROCESS_TEST_MAIN macro
89 //    in that file for an example.
90 // 3) Call SpawnChild("foo"), where "foo" is the name of
91 //    the function you wish to run in the child processes.
92 // That's it!
