// calogProc.h -- calog subprocess library: run a child process, capture its output. // // procRun(argv: list(string) [, opts: map]) -> map{ exit: int, stdout: string, stderr: string } // Spawn argv[0] with the given arguments, wait for it, and return its exit code plus its // captured stdout/stderr (binary-safe). On POSIX a child killed by a signal reports the // negative signal number as exit. opts: { stdin: string (fed to the child), cwd: string // (working directory), env: map (string->string; REPLACES the environment -- omit to inherit // the parent's) }. // // POSIX starts the child with posix_spawn (NOT fork -- calog runs many pthreads, and fork in a // multithreaded process is a well-known hazard) and multiplexes the three pipes with one poll loop. // Windows starts it with CreateProcess and, because anonymous pipes have no poll, writes stdin on a // helper thread while the main thread drains stdout/stderr; the argv list is quoted into a single // command line. NOTE: on Windows a bare program name (no path separator) is resolved by // CreateProcess's search order, which includes the application directory and the current directory // AHEAD of PATH -- pass an absolute/relative path when that shadowing matters. Either way the native // is inline and blocks the calling context's own thread until the child exits, feeding stdin while // draining stdout/stderr so a large transfer cannot deadlock. #ifndef CALOG_PROC_H #define CALOG_PROC_H #include "calog.h" // Register the subprocess native on a runtime.
