I'm fine with helper func. Maybe I'd print also current pid.
It could be little spammy if there are many children, but we could
address that later (if needed) with a parameter to control verbosity.

To add a parameter (int verbose) sounds good to me.

Btw, should we add some note/comment in the
document(test-writing-guidelines.txt)? I take a rough look but not sure
which line is the best position for that.

How about we extend "2.2.10 Signal handlers" to "2.2.10 Signals and signal handlers"
and put a note there?

Good point.

Since that core file dumping is(sometimes) a response for signal SIGSEGV in
process, we purpose to change that behavior and avoid to generate a dump
that related to this topic.
