gtest_parallel_repro.py

#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""Run a gtest binary repeatedly under process-level scheduler pressure.

Synopsis:
  python3 tools/gtest_parallel_repro.py --binary ./env_test \\
      --gtest_filter='*ReserveThreads*' --processes-per-iteration 100 \\
      --iteration-count 100

This tool is for flaky tests that do not reproduce with a single-process
`--gtest_repeat` loop. Some RocksDB tests only fail when their process competes
with many other CPU-heavy test processes, because OS scheduling can delay
arbitrary worker threads and expose timing assumptions.

`COERCE_CONTEXT_SWITCH=1` is still useful and this runner can build with it, but
it is not enough for this class of flaky test by itself.
COERCE_CONTEXT_SWITCH adds voluntary sleeps/yields at selected RocksDB hooks,
while busy CI shards cause involuntary preemption and CPU starvation across the
whole process. Running many fresh test processes in parallel, optionally pinned
to a small CPU set, more closely matches that failure mode.
