Warnings when using death tests on Linux

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Google Test produces the following warning for every death test on Linux:

[WARNING] .../gtest/src/gtest-death-test.cc:825:: Death tests use fork(), which 
is unsafe particularly in a threaded context. For this test, Google Test 
couldn't detect the number of threads.

Here's the code that reproduces the problem:

TEST(Test, Death) {
  EXPECT_DEATH(exit(1), "");
}

This is trivially fixed with the attached patch.

I'm using Google Test 1.7.0.

It would be really nice to see this fixed for Linux

Indeed. Unfortunately it looks like this repository is not maintained any more.
