Dear Phil,
I take this simple example:
int main(void)
{
pid_t pid;
int status, wpid;
if ((pid = vfork()) == 0) {
execvp(argv[0], argv);
_exit(0);
}
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}

0x100 +-------------+

stack content after child return vfork

0x40 +-------------+
| |
| |
| | execvp() frame
| |
0x100 +-------------+
| |
| | main() frame
| |
0x200 +-------------+
stack content after child call execvp
I observe that after the child process call the execvp(), the vfork()
frame is corrupted.
After the parent process returns from the vfork() system call, the vfork()
frame is corrupted.
So, unexpected result will be occured.
Best regards,
Ahan Hsieh

Re: [uClinux-dev] how to implement vfork()
Hi Ahan,
Sorry to state the obvious but limit what you do in the child process
before calling execve.
You can run the same code as the parent using execve and identify it as
a child process by setting some options in its arg list.
You have control over both the arg list and the environment for the new
child process.
Take a look at some examples in
simpleinit and inetd
Regards
Phil Wilshire
