You'd use it like this:
spawnProcess(["prog"]);
That allocates. I don't like that requirement.
I know this is debatable and that we've discussed this before, but I
feel I should still mention that the cost of one more small allocation
will be absolutely negligible compared to the cost of creating a new
process, even taking into account long-term effects of heap
fragmentation and such. I don't think that API design should suffer for
such a small performance cost.
Even the API is ugly. It takes no significant code or really
understanding to make a single-arg spawnProcess that does the same thing.
