问题 Child and parent process execution is parallel and which starts first depends on OS scheduling. But what can be done to start child always before the parent? This is the pseudo code for my problem, int start_test() { pid_t pid; pid = fork(); if(pid == 0) { execv("XXX", XXX); } else if(pid > 0) { pid = fork(); if(pid == 0) { execv("XXX", XXX); } else { // Do something } } return 0; } int main() { start_test(); return 0; } I wants to make first execv execute first than parent creates new

问题 The following code never ends. Why is that? #include <sys/types.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #define SIZE 5 int nums[SIZE] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4}; int main() { int i; pid_t pid; pid = vfork(); if(pid == 0){ /* Child process */ for(i = 0; i < SIZE; i++){ nums[i] *= -i; printf(”CHILD: %d “, nums[i]); /* LINE X */ } } else if (pid > 0){ /* Parent process */ wait(NULL); for(i = 0; i < SIZE; i++) printf(”PARENT: %d “, nums[i]); /* LINE Y */ } return 0; } Update: This code is just to

It seems like when I use vfork() , the child

What is the difference between fork() and vfork() ? Does vfork() return like fork() . The intent of vfork was to eliminate the overhead of copying the whole process image if you only want to do an exec* in the child. Because exec* replaces the whole image of the child process, there is no point in copying the image of the parent. if ((pid = vfork()) == 0) { execl(..., NULL); /* after a successful execl the parent should be resumed */ _exit(127); /* terminate the child in case execl fails */ } For other kinds of uses, vfork is dangerous and unpredictable. With most current kernels, however,
