// A MultiProcessTest is a test class which makes it easier to
// write a test which requires code running out of process.
//
// To create a multiprocess test simply follow these steps:
//
// 1) Derive your test from MultiProcessTest. Example:
//
//    class MyTest : public MultiProcessTest {
//    };
//
//    TEST_F(MyTest, TestCaseName) {
//      ...
//    }
//
// 2) Create a mainline function for the child processes and include
//    testing/multiprocess_func_list.h.
//    See the declaration of the MULTIPROCESS_TEST_MAIN macro
//    in that file for an example.
// 3) Call SpawnChild(L"foo"), where "foo" is the name of
//    the function you wish to run in the child processes.
// That's it!

 protected:
  // Run a child process.
  // 'procname' is the name of a function which the child will
  // execute.  It must be exported from this library in order to

  //
  // Example signature:
  //    extern "C" int __declspec(dllexport) FooBar() {
  //         // do client work here
  //    }
  //
  // Returns the handle to the child, or NULL on failure
