Problem Statement:

When executing shell commands in C++, if not managed properly, the inability to exit autonomously may lead to the proliferation of zombie processes. How can we address this issue?

This project provides an API interface goes_popen() implemented by the author to achieve the following objectives:

  • True terminate() functionality:

Actively closing shell commands that do not terminate automatically, completely cleaning up the shell subprocess group; unlike some libraries, which only close the shell subprocess without terminating the command line process group.

  • Blocking/Non-blocking reading of command feedback get_output() and get_output_noblock():

Many existing library interfaces, if you use get_output(), will inevitably block the main process, leading to complex process management; this repository provides non-blocking get_output() for user convenience.

  • User-selectable support for stdout and stderr:

In many existing library interfaces, if you use get_output(), you cannot output to stdout to the terminal because they use pipe redirection; however, this repository allows you to print to the terminal while using get_output().

Except for the partial function naming reference to the Python library subprocess package, there are no other references. The content is entirely the author's own thoughts.

面向问题:

C++执行无法自主退出的shell指令,如果不合理管理,可能会导致野进程泛滥,我们该如何解决?

本项目提供本人实现的API接口 goes_popen()以实现以下目标

  • 真正意义的terminate()

主动关闭不会自动结束的shell命令,完全清理shell子进程组;而非像某些呆瓜库一样,只是关了shell子进程,没有关命令行进程组

  • 阻塞/非阻塞地读取命令反馈get_output()get_output_noblock()

很多现有库的接口实现,如果你get_output()就一定会阻塞主进程,从而导致进程管理复杂;本仓库提供非阻塞get_output以供用户使用

  • 用户自选 stdout和stderr支持

很多现有库的接口实现,如果你get_output()就无法stdout到终端,这是因为他们使用了管道重定向;然而本仓库支持你在get_output()的同时依然可以打印到终端

参考文献

本仓库除部分函数命名参考了python库的subprocess包,无其他任何参考文献,完全是作者本人拍脑袋乱写出来的。

如有引用,请注明出处为我这个帐号 @GoesM 即可。

欢迎大家帮助完善更多细节部分

因为完全是本人拍脑袋想出来的,那也势必会有缺陷之处;

如果你也和我一样希望在C++编程中拥有一个完美的并发管理模板,那请提交ISSUE或PR为仓库贡献吧 ^_^
