54// The following macros are useful for writing death tests.
55
56// Here's what happens when an ASSERT_DEATH* or EXPECT_DEATH* is
57// executed:
58//
59//   1. It generates a warning if there is more than one active
60//   thread.  This is because it's safe to fork() or clone() only
61//   when there is a single thread.
62//
63//   2. The parent process clone()s a sub-process and runs the death
64//   test in it; the sub-process exits with code 0 at the end of the
65//   death test, if it hasn't exited already.
66//
67//   3. The parent process waits for the sub-process to terminate.
68//
69//   4. The parent process checks the exit code and error message of
70//   the sub-process.
71//
72// Examples:
73//
74//   ASSERT_DEATH(server.SendMessage(56, "Hello"), "Invalid port number");
75//   for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
76//     EXPECT_DEATH(server.ProcessRequest(i),
77//                  "Invalid request .* in ProcessRequest()")
78//         << "Failed to die on request " << i);
79//   }
80//
81//   ASSERT_EXIT(server.ExitNow(), ::testing::ExitedWithCode(0), "Exiting");
82//
83//   bool KilledBySIGHUP(int exit_code) {
84//     return WIFSIGNALED(exit_code) && WTERMSIG(exit_code) == SIGHUP;
85//   }
86//
87//   ASSERT_EXIT(client.HangUpServer(), KilledBySIGHUP, "Hanging up!");
88//
89// On the regular expressions used in death tests:
90//
91//   On POSIX-compliant systems (*nix), we use the <regex.h> library,
92//   which uses the POSIX extended regex syntax.
93//
94//   On other platforms (e.g. Windows), we only support a simple regex
95//   syntax implemented as part of Google Test.  This limited
96//   implementation should be enough most of the time when writing
97//   death tests; though it lacks many features you can find in PCRE
98//   or POSIX extended regex syntax.  For example, we don't support
99//   union ("x|y"), grouping ("(xy)"), brackets ("[xy]"), and
100//   repetition count ("x{5,7}"), among others.
101//
102//   Below is the syntax that we do support.  We chose it to be a
103//   subset of both PCRE and POSIX extended regex, so it's easy to
104//   learn wherever you come from.  In the following: 'A' denotes a
105//   literal character, period (.), or a single \\ escape sequence;
106//   'x' and 'y' denote regular expressions; 'm' and 'n' are for
107//   natural numbers.
108//
109//     c     matches any literal character c
110//     \\d   matches any decimal digit
111//     \\D   matches any character that's not a decimal digit
112//     \\f   matches \f
113//     \\n   matches \n
114//     \\r   matches \r
115//     \\s   matches any ASCII whitespace, including \n
116//     \\S   matches any character that's not a whitespace
117//     \\t   matches \t
118//     \\v   matches \v
119//     \\w   matches any letter, _, or decimal digit
120//     \\W   matches any character that \\w doesn't match
121//     \\c   matches any literal character c, which must be a punctuation
122//     .     matches any single character except \n
123//     A?    matches 0 or 1 occurrences of A
124//     A*    matches 0 or many occurrences of A
125//     A+    matches 1 or many occurrences of A
126//     ^     matches the beginning of a string (not that of each line)
127//     $     matches the end of a string (not that of each line)
128//     xy    matches x followed by y
129//
130//   If you accidentally use PCRE or POSIX extended regex features
131//   not implemented by us, you will get a run-time failure.  In that
132//   case, please try to rewrite your regular expression within the
133//   above syntax.
134//
135//   This implementation is *not* meant to be as highly tuned or robust
136//   as a compiled regex library, but should perform well enough for a
137//   death test, which already incurs significant overhead by launching
138//   a child process.
139//
140// Known caveats:
141//
142//   A "threadsafe" style death test obtains the path to the test
143//   program from argv[0] and re-executes it in the sub-process.  For
144//   simplicity, the current implementation doesn't search the PATH
145//   when launching the sub-process.  This means that the user must
146//   invoke the test program via a path that contains at least one
147//   path separator (e.g. path/to/foo_test and
148//   /absolute/path/to/bar_test are fine, but foo_test is not).  This
149//   is rarely a problem as people usually don't put the test binary
150//   directory in PATH.
151//
152// TODO(wan@google.com): make thread-safe death tests search the PATH.

202// EXPECT_DEBUG_DEATH asserts that the given statements die in debug mode.
203// The death testing framework causes this to have interesting semantics,
204// since the sideeffects of the call are only visible in opt mode, and not
205// in debug mode.
206//
207// In practice, this can be used to test functions that utilize the
208// LOG(DFATAL) macro using the following style:
209//
210// int DieInDebugOr12(int* sideeffect) {
211//   if (sideeffect) {
212//     *sideeffect = 12;
213//   }
214//   LOG(DFATAL) << "death";
215//   return 12;
216// }
217//
218// TEST(TestCase, TestDieOr12WorksInDgbAndOpt) {
219//   int sideeffect = 0;
220//   // Only asserts in dbg.
221//   EXPECT_DEBUG_DEATH(DieInDebugOr12(&sideeffect), "death");
222//
223// #ifdef NDEBUG
224//   // opt-mode has sideeffect visible.

233// mode, usually due to a DCHECK or LOG(DFATAL), but returns the
234// appropriate fallback value (12 in this case) in opt mode. If you
235// need to test that a function has appropriate side-effects in opt
236// mode, include assertions against the side-effects.  A general
