Re: not fork-safe if pids wrap

2013-08-22 Thread Bodo Moeller
Most other libraries I've seen handle this by saving the pid in a static variable, and then comparing the current pid to it. This has the advantage of not needing pthreads, and also of only adding the entropy to the child if it is actually needed (i. e. it doesn't exec after fork). We may
