src: add process.ppid #16839

cjihrig · 2017-11-06T17:12:08Z

Only the src: add process.ppid commit is relevant, but it depends on the libuv 1.16.0 update, which hasn't landed yet (#16835).

Fixes: #14957

"The parent process"?

Copy-paste gone wrong...

What would be returned if the process has not a parent [anymore]?

bnoordhuis · 2017-11-06T20:04:26Z

On UNIX, that can't really happen because orphan processes are reparented all the way up to pid 1 if need be.

What would happen if Node.js was running as pid 1 is interesting: POSIX doesn't allow getppid(2) to fail, the operating system has to return something. Probably zero, that's what Linux and macOS do.

On Windows, it can't really fail either but the ppid may not correspond to a live process or the right process (if the parent exited and its pid has been recycled.)

Could we call this parentPid instead? That would be much more clear.

UNIX programmers would disagree...

I'd also much rather go with ppid.

Nits addressed. Removed the libuv commit. Will wait for the libuv update to land before running the CI.

The only CI failures look like a Jenkins issue and an unrelated flake.
