vfork 例子祥解

vfork 例子祥解

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <fcntl.h>

int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
{
    printf("Start ..............\n");
    pid_t child_t;
    if((child_t = vfork()) < 0)
    {
        printf("error!\n");
        return -1;
    }
    else if(child_t == 0)
    {
        printf("in child:pid =%d\n",getpid());
        sleep(2);
        _exit(0);  //必须退出子进程。否则子进程会运行到printf("End ............... \n");return 0;然后退出子进程，把共父子进程共享的栈空间释放了，父进程就陷入了死循环。看下面的gdb调试。
    }
    else
    {
        printf("in parent:child_t id = %d,pid = %d\n",child_t,getpid());
    }
    printf("End ............... \n");
    return 0;
}

 

屏蔽_exit(0);后的gdb调试信息:

Breakpoint 1, main (argc=1, argv=0xbffff954) at main.cpp:9
9     printf("Start ..............\n");
(gdb) c
Continuing.
Start ..............      //开始运行
in child:pid =25272  //分裂出子进程
End ...............       //子进程，退出。

Breakpoint 3, main (argc=0, argv=0xbffff954) at main.cpp:24       //子过程完成后才会运行父进程，argc=0,说明栈空间已被释放
24         printf("in parent:child_t id = %d,pid = %d\n",child_t,getpid());//父进程。
(gdb) c
Continuing.
in parent:child_t id = 25272,pid = 25269

Breakpoint 4, main (argc=0, argv=0xbffff954) at main.cpp:26
26     printf("End ............... \n");
(gdb) c
Continuing.
End ............... //父进程，退出。因为argc=0,但argv[0_tes]="/work/test/smallt/test.i386.elf"还是存在，所以又开始运行。所以进入了死循环了。

Breakpoint 1, main (argc=1, argv=0xbffff954) at main.cpp:9
9     printf("Start ..............\n");//又开始运行了。
(gdb)  p argv[0]
$1 = 0xbffffacd "/work/test/small_test/test.i386.elf"
(gdb)
