//
- // process p (..., 0, 2);
+ // process pr (..., 0, 2);
+ //
+ // Note also that the somewhat roundabout setup with -1 as a redirect
+ // "instruction" and out_fd/in_ofd/in_efd data members for the result
+ // helps to make sure the stream instances are destroyed before the
+ // process instance. For example:
+ //
+ // process pr (..., 0, -1, 2);
+ // ifdstream is (move (pr.in_ofd));
+ //
+ // This is important in case an exception is thrown where we want to make
+ // sure all our pipe ends are closed before we wait for the process exit
+ // (which happens in the process destructor).
+ //
+ // And speaking of the destruction order, another thing to keep in mind is
+ // that only one stream can use the skip mode (fdstream_mode::skip;
+ // because skipping is performed in the blocking mode) and the stream that
+ // skips should come first so that all other streams are destroyed/closed
+ // before it (failed that, we may end up in a deadlock). For example:
+ //
+ // process pr (..., -1, -1, -1);
+ // ifdstream is (move (pr.in_ofd), fdstream_mode::skip); // Must be first.
