32 -- Operating system interface facilities
34 -- This package contains types and procedures for interfacing to the
35 -- underlying OS. It is used by the GNAT compiler and by tools associated
36 -- with the GNAT compiler, and therefore works for the various operating
37 -- systems to which GNAT has been ported. This package will undoubtedly grow
38 -- as new services are needed by various tools.
40 -- This package tends to use fairly low-level Ada in order to not bring in
41 -- large portions of the RTL. For example, functions return access to string
42 -- as part of avoiding functions returning unconstrained types.
44 -- Except where specifically noted, these routines are portable across all
45 -- GNAT implementations on all supported operating systems.
47 -- Note: this package is in the System hierarchy so that it can be directly
48 -- be used by other predefined packages. User access to this package is via
49 -- a renaming of this package in GNAT.OS_Lib (file g-os_lib.ads).

944 -- NOTE: Spawn in Tasking Programs --
945 -------------------------------------
947 -- Spawning processes in tasking programs using the above Spawn and
948 -- Non_Blocking_Spawn subprograms is not recommended, because there are
949 -- subtle interactions between creating a process and signals/locks that
950 -- can cause trouble. These issues are not specific to Ada; they depend
951 -- primarily on the operating system.
953 -- If you need to spawn processes in a tasking program, you will need to
954 -- understand the semantics of your operating system, and you are likely to
955 -- write non-portable code, because operating systems differ in this area.
957 -- The Spawn and Non_Blocking_Spawn subprograms call the following
958 -- operating system functions:
960 -- On Windows: spawnvp (blocking) or CreateProcess (non-blocking)
962 -- On Solaris: fork1, followed in the child process by execv
964 -- On other Unix-like systems: fork, followed in the child
965 -- process by execv.
967 -- On vxworks, spawning of processes is not supported
969 -- For details, look at the functions __gnat_portable_spawn and
970 -- __gnat_portable_no_block_spawn in adaint.c.
972 -- You should read the operating-system-specific documentation for the
973 -- above functions, paying special attention to subtle interactions with
974 -- threading, signals, locks, and file descriptors. Most of the issues are
975 -- related to the fact that on Unix, there is a window of time between fork
976 -- and execv; Windows does not have this problem, because spawning is done
977 -- in a single operation.
979 -- On Posix-compliant systems, such as Linux, fork duplicates just the
980 -- calling thread. (On Solaris, fork1 is the Posix-compliant version of
981 -- fork.)
983 -- You should avoid using signals while spawning. This includes signals
984 -- used internally by the Ada run-time system, such as timer signals used
985 -- to implement delay statements.
987 -- It is best to spawn any subprocesses very early, before the parent
988 -- process creates tasks, locks, or installs signal handlers. Certainly
989 -- avoid doing simultaneous spawns from multiple threads of the same
990 -- process.
992 -- There is no problem spawning a subprocess that uses tasking: the
993 -- problems are caused only by tasking in the parent.
995 -- If the parent is using tasking, and needs to spawn subprocesses at
996 -- arbitrary times, one technique is for the parent to spawn (very early)
997 -- a particular spawn-manager subprocess whose job is to spawn other
998 -- processes. The spawn-manager must avoid tasking. The parent sends
999 -- messages to the spawn-manager requesting it to spawn processes, using
1000 -- whatever inter-process communication mechanism you like, such as
1001 -- sockets.
1003 -- In short, mixing spawning of subprocesses with tasking is a tricky
1004 -- business, and should be avoided if possible, but if it is necessary,
1005 -- the above guidelines should be followed, and you should beware of
1006 -- portability problems.
