The output of the above program is :
Hello World!I'm the child!
Hello World!I'm the parent!
How did you get the output ? I don't think that the above program will
compile at all, with fork being undeclared.
If its calling fork() - then your guess is right, when you append the
newline character, the buffer is flushed and "Hello World!" is printed
before the fork call.
If you want to see this -You can experiment with fflush() or use gdb.
Eg>
devendra:$ gcc test.c -g
devendra:$ gdb a.out
GNU gdb 6.5
(gdb) b main
Breakpoint 1 at 0x80483f0: file test.c, line 5.
(gdb) r
Starting program: /home/devendra/a.out
Breakpoint 1, main () at test.c:5
5 printf ("Hello World!\n");
(gdb) n
Hello World! <-- The buffer is cleared
6 if (fork() == 0)
(gdb) c
