Hi, I'm fiddling with the jabber server under cygwin...
Mostly everything works fine, except for one particular call to pth_fork()
(in fact, this is the ONLY call to pth_fork() in jabberd)
Anyway, the following test program illustrates the problem:
#include <pth.h>
#include <stdio.h>
void *test(void *arg);
int main(int argc, char* argv[]) {
int pid;
pth_init();
pth_join(pth_spawn(PTH_ATTR_DEFAULT, test, NULL), NULL);
}
void *test(void *arg) {
int pid;
pid = fork();
if (pid < 0) {
printf("FORKFAILED\n");
} else if (pid == 0) {
printf("FORKCHILD\n");
} else {
printf("FORKPARENT\n");
}
}
It outputs:
0 [main] a 1720 sync_with_child: child 1724(0x23C) died before
initialization with status code 0x1
3530 [main] a 1720 sync_with_child: *** child state waiting for longjmp
FORKFAILED
Can anyone help me with this?
fork()/pth_fork() work fine, as long as they are called from the main thread
of a process.. However, if you try to call them from a different thread, the
above problem occurs.
