Detailed Description

Implementation of the ProcessSpawn class.

This pimpl idiom is used by the ProcessSpawn in this case to avoid exposing the internals of the implementation, such as custom handling of a SIGCHLD signal, and the conversion of the arguments of the executable from the STL container to the array.

This class is made noncopyable so that we don't have attempts to make multiple copies of an object. This avoid problems with multiple copies of objects for a single global resource such as the SIGCHLD signal handler. In addition making it noncopyable keeps the static check code from flagging the lack of a copy constructor as an issue.

executable	A full path to the program to be executed.
args	Arguments for the program to be executed.
vars	Environment variables for the program to be executed.

Member Function Documentation

void isc::asiolink::ProcessSpawnImpl::clearState

(

const pid_t

pid

)

Removes the status of the process with a specified PID.

This method removes the status of the process with a specified PID. If the process is still running, the status is not removed and the exception is thrown.

Parameters

pid	A process pid.

Definition at line 353 of file process_spawn.cc.

References isc_throw, and isRunning().

Here is the call graph for this function:

std::string isc::asiolink::ProcessSpawnImpl::getCommandLine

(

)

const

Returns full command line, including arguments, for the process.

Definition at line 239 of file process_spawn.cc.

int isc::asiolink::ProcessSpawnImpl::getExitStatus

(

const pid_t

pid

)

const

Returns exit status of the process.

If the process is still running, the previous status is returned or 0, if the process is being ran for the first time.

Parameters

pid	ID of the child process for which exit status should be returned.

Returns

Exit code of the process.

Definition at line 304 of file process_spawn.cc.

References isc_throw.

bool isc::asiolink::ProcessSpawnImpl::isAnyRunning

(

)

const

Checks if any of the spawned processes is still running.

Returns

true if at least one child process is still running.

Definition at line 291 of file process_spawn.cc.

bool isc::asiolink::ProcessSpawnImpl::isRunning

(

const pid_t

pid

)

const

Checks if the process is still running.

Parameters

pid	ID of the child processes for which state should be checked.

Returns

true if the child process is running, false otherwise.

Definition at line 278 of file process_spawn.cc.

Referenced by clearState().

pid_t isc::asiolink::ProcessSpawnImpl::spawn

(

bool

dismiss

)

Spawn the new process.

This method forks the current process and executes the specified binary with arguments within the child process.

The child process will return EXIT_FAILURE if the method was unable to start the executable, e.g. as a result of insufficient permissions or when the executable does not exist. If the process ends successfully the EXIT_SUCCESS is returned.

Parameters

dismiss

The flag which indicated if the process status can be disregarded.

Returns

PID of the spawned process.

Exceptions

ProcessSpawnError

if forking a current process failed.
