Remove custom errors and fix background forking
Removes the custom errors in src/recite/erro.rs, and replaces them with
std::io::Errors throughout (recite(), incant_, macros).
Fixed a bug with the way forking to the background is handled, where
registering the signal handler in main for all processes would break
couplets (i.e. pipes). Instead, this sets up a new signal handler each
time a process is forked into the background. It uses a Vec<i32> to keep
track of all the background processes.
Notes
Notes:
First off, there is some defunct code in the main repl loop, which is an
example of killing zombie processes after each prompt. This should be
removed, but I kept it in, just in case I go back to it for some reason.
To be honest, I have no clue why this code works. In theory, I should
have to remove the pid from the pids: Vec<i32> if waitpid returns a
positive integer. However, when I tried this, it completely broke the
program. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Also, it's worth noting that registering a signal handler with
signal_hook::low_level::register, is somewhat costly, according to their
docs. Given that this only occurs for background processes that are
forked, however, I think it is acceptable.
Finally, we never unregister the signal handler, so I'm not sure if
that's still hanging out in memory somewhere or no.
