# Sentinel file wrapper for multi-process tests.
# This is designed to avoid a set of nasty bugs, primarily on Windows,
# where pid reuse causes watch_procs to sit around waiting for some
# random process that's not DB's and is not exiting.

# Arguments:
#
if { $argc < 3 } {
	puts "FAIL: wrap.tcl: Usage: wrap.tcl script log scriptargs"
	exit
}

# Create a sentinel file to mark our creation and signal that watch_procs
# should look for us.
set parentpid [pid]
set parentsentinel $testdir/begin.$parentpid
set f [open $parentsentinel w]

# Create a Tcl subprocess that will actually run the test.
set t [open "|$tclsh_path >& $logfile" w]

# arguments thanks to the pipe structure.
puts $t "set argc [llength $args]"

# Command the test to run.
puts $t "source $test_path/$script"

# Close the pipe.  This will flush the above commands and actually run the
# test, and will also return an error a la exec if anything bad happens
# to the subprocess.  The magic here is that closing a pipe blocks
# and waits for the exit of processes in the pipeline, at least according
# to Ousterhout (p. 115).
