System.Diagnostics.Process: 重定向标准输入、输出和错误
[原文作者]：Lucian Wischik
[原文链接]：System.Diagnostics.Process: redirect StandardInput, StandardOutput, StandardError
有时我们运行一个外部适用程序，向里面输入数据然后获取它的输出。这往往很容易发生这样的死锁：
' BAD CODE
Using p As New System.Diagnostics.Process
p.StartInfo.FileName = "cat"
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = True
p.Start()
p.StandardInput.Write("world" & vbCrLf & "hello")
' 这里将发生死锁，如果P写到输出接口的量达到12k
p.StandardInput.Close()
Dim op = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd()
p.WaitForExit()
p.Close()
Console.WriteLine("OUTPUT:") : Console.WriteLine(op)
End Using
这段程序将发生死锁，因为“Cat”首先从标准输入接口中读取，然后写到标准输出接口，最后再读取它，这样一直循环下去直到没有任何东西可读取。但是如果它的标准输出接口已经填满了，并且没有对象去读取，这样就不能继续往里面写东西，从而出现阻塞。
这里的12k仅是一个随机数，我不会关注于它...
' BAD CODE
Using p As New System.Diagnostics.Process
p.StartInfo.FileName = "findstr"
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardError = True
p.Start()
' deadlock here if p needs to write more than 12k to StandardError
Dim op = p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd()
Dim err = p.StandardError.ReadToEnd()
p.WaitForExit()
Console.WriteLine("OUTPUT:") : Console.WriteLine(op)
Console.WriteLine("ERROR:") : Console.WriteLine(err)
End Using
MSDN文档中说：你可以通过异步读取操作来避免这些依赖和潜在的死锁；或者你可以通过创建两个线程，让其中一个独立线程来读取输出流来避免死锁。因此我们将这样来做：
使用线程来重定向就不会死锁
' GOOD CODE: 这里不会发生死锁.
Using p As New Diagnostics.Process
p.StartInfo.FileName = "sort"
p.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = True
p.StartInfo.RedirectStandardInput = True
p.Start()
Dim op = ""
' do NOT WaitForExit yet since that would introduce deadlocks.
p.InputAndOutputToEnd("world" & vbCrLf & "hello", op, Nothing)
p.WaitForExit()
p.Close()
Console.WriteLine("OUTPUT:") : Console.WriteLine(op)
End Using
