Function WriteToShardStatusFileIfNeeded

cpp/test/src/gtest.cc:4692–4706

Reads the GTEST_SHARD_STATUS_FILE environment variable, and creates the file if the variable is present. If a file already exists at this location, this function will write over it. If the variable is present, but the file cannot be created, prints an error and exits.

// function will write over it. If the variable is present, but the file cannot
// be created, prints an error and exits.
