要检查内存泄漏,您可能希望在Valgrind下运行该程序:http://valgrind.org
要从控制台/ shell获取/设置限制,可以使用ulimit命令。
从程序内部,系统调用getrlimit() / setrlimit()提供此功能。
由于fork()ing导致内存可能变紧的情况的另一种解决方法是立即使用vfork(),然后调用exec*()系列函数。
来自man vfork:
vfork() is a special case of clone(2). It is used to create new processes without copying the page tables of the parent process. It may be useful in performance-sensitive applications where a child is created which then immediately issues an execve(2).
vfork() differs from fork(2) in that the parent is suspended until the child terminates (either normally, by calling _exit(2), or abnormally, after delivery of a fatal signal), or it makes a call to execve(2). Until that
point, the child shares all memory with its parent, including the stack. The child must not return from the current function or call exit(3), but may call _exit(2).
