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).

947 -- NOTE: Spawn in Tasking Programs --
948 -------------------------------------
950 -- Spawning processes in tasking programs using the above Spawn and
951 -- Non_Blocking_Spawn subprograms is not recommended, because there are
952 -- subtle interactions between creating a process and signals/locks that
953 -- can cause trouble. These issues are not specific to Ada; they depend
954 -- primarily on the operating system.
956 -- If you need to spawn processes in a tasking program, you will need to
957 -- understand the semantics of your operating system, and you are likely to
958 -- write non-portable code, because operating systems differ in this area.
960 -- The Spawn and Non_Blocking_Spawn subprograms call the following
961 -- operating system functions:
963 -- On Windows: spawnvp (blocking) or CreateProcess (non-blocking)
965 -- On Solaris: fork1, followed in the child process by execv
967 -- On other Unix-like systems: fork, followed in the child
968 -- process by execv.
970 -- On vxworks, spawning of processes is not supported
972 -- For details, look at the functions __gnat_portable_spawn and
973 -- __gnat_portable_no_block_spawn in adaint.c.
975 -- You should read the operating-system-specific documentation for the
976 -- above functions, paying special attention to subtle interactions with
977 -- threading, signals, locks, and file descriptors. Most of the issues are
978 -- related to the fact that on Unix, there is a window of time between fork
979 -- and execv; Windows does not have this problem, because spawning is done
980 -- in a single operation.
982 -- On Posix-compliant systems, such as Linux, fork duplicates just the
983 -- calling thread. (On Solaris, fork1 is the Posix-compliant version of
984 -- fork.)
986 -- You should avoid using signals while spawning. This includes signals
987 -- used internally by the Ada run-time system, such as timer signals used
988 -- to implement delay statements.
990 -- It is best to spawn any subprocesses very early, before the parent
991 -- process creates tasks, locks, or installs signal handlers. Certainly
992 -- avoid doing simultaneous spawns from multiple threads of the same
993 -- process.
995 -- There is no problem spawning a subprocess that uses tasking: the
996 -- problems are caused only by tasking in the parent.
998 -- If the parent is using tasking, and needs to spawn subprocesses at
999 -- arbitrary times, one technique is for the parent to spawn (very early)
1000 -- a particular spawn-manager subprocess whose job is to spawn other
1001 -- processes. The spawn-manager must avoid tasking. The parent sends
1002 -- messages to the spawn-manager requesting it to spawn processes, using
1003 -- whatever inter-process communication mechanism you like, such as
1004 -- sockets.
1006 -- In short, mixing spawning of subprocesses with tasking is a tricky
1007 -- business, and should be avoided if possible, but if it is necessary,
1008 -- the above guidelines should be followed, and you should beware of
1009 -- portability problems.
