// This file provides the plumbing to register functions to be executed
// as the main function of a child process in a multi-process test.
// This complements the MultiProcessTest class which provides facilities
// for launching such tests.
//
// The MULTIPROCESS_TEST_MAIN() macro registers a string -> func_ptr mapping
// by creating a new global instance of the AppendMultiProcessTest() class
// this means that by the time that we reach our main() function the mapping
// is already in place.
//
// Example usage:
//  MULTIPROCESS_TEST_MAIN(a_test_func) {
//    // Code here runs in a child process.
//    return 0;
//  }
//
// The prototype of a_test_func is implicitly
//   int test_main_func_name();
