父进程等待孩子在C中完成

Question

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

#define MAX_LINE 80 /* 80 chars per line, per command, should be enough. */

/**
 * setup() reads in the next command line, separating it into distinct tokens
 * using whitespace as delimiters. It also sets the args parameter as a 
 * null-terminated string.
 */

void setup(char inputBuffer[], char *args[],int *background)
{
    int length, /* Number  of characters in the command line */
        i,      /* Loop index for inputBuffer array */

    start = -1;
    if (length == 0)
        exit(0);            /* ^d was entered, end of user command stream */
    if (length < 0){
        perror("error reading command");

        case '&':

            inputBuffer[i] = '\0';
            break;

        default :             /* some other character */

    int background;             /* Equals 1 if a command is followed by '&' */

          /* MY CODE HERE */
          pid_t pid;

        pid = fork();

        if(pid == 0)

                execvp(args[0],args);
                /* If execvp returns, it must have failed. */

                printf("Fork Failed\n");
                exit(0);
        }
        else
        {
                if(&background == 0)
                {
                        while( wait(&background) != pid)
                        {/* Do nothing, waiting */}
                }
                else
                {
                        setup(inputBuffer, args, &background);
                }
       }
   }
}

我试图派生一个子进程，让子进程调用execvp（）并让父进程在后台等待。 我的错误来自与父代码的等待部分。 上面说我的代码的所有内容都已给出，不应进行编辑

Answer 1

 if(&background == 0) ^ 

那条线没有多大意义。 当您可能想比较实际的存储值时，即在比较地址时，即您可能要删除& 。

否则，测试将永远不会为真，也就是说，变量background的地址永远不会为0。

Answer 2

您的“前叉失败”消息应为“执行失败”（前叉有效；执行程序未执行）。 您还应该有一个单独的“ fork failed”错误报告，但此刻您仍未找到该报告。 错误消息应该写入stderr而不是stdout 。

wait()循环条件应为：

int corpse;
int status;
while ((corpse = wait(&status)) != -1 && corpse != pid)
    ;

调试时，在每次迭代中打印来自wait()的信息。 注意， waitpid()允许您在有尸体要收集时等待，而在没有死者要哀悼的情况下可以返回。

所有这些仅在处理了应该从编译器获得的警告之后才有意义。 如果没有收到有关if (&background == 0)始终为false的警告，则需要提高编译器警告级别。 如果您使用的是GCC，则gcc -Wall是一个好的开始， gcc -Wall -Wextra -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes更好。 并修复来自编译器的警告。
