c - 父子进程计时

Question

我编写这个小程序是为了帮助我更好地理解流程:

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

int main()
{
    int pid;
    int i;
    if ((pid = fork()) == 0)
    {
        for (i = 0; i < 100; i++)
        {
            printf("child, pid = %d, i = %d\n", getpid(), i);
        }
    }
    else if (pid > 0)
    {
        for (i = 0; i > -100; i--)
        {
            printf("parent, pid = %d, i = %d\n", getpid(), i);
        }
    }
    else
    {
        perror("failed fork!\n");
        exit(1);
    }
    return 0;
}

当我实际运行该程序时，我很惊讶地看到输出。 父进程首先启动，反过来也可能发生，对吗？在我的机器上，它似乎总是选择父级。 但令我惊讶的是，该过程一旦启动就无法完成输出所有 i 值。为什么是这样？一个进程所花费的时间有这么少吗？ 然后更奇怪的是，父级和子级开始轮流使用 printfs，每人仅输出一行，直到父级完成循环，因为它有一个领先优势，然后子级必须打印其余的 i 值。 同样，如何解释这种行为？

这是我得到的输出:

Answer 1

父进程首先启动。

这里的要点是您正在运行多个进程，它们“并行”运行。现在，在现实生活中它们可能会也可能不会并行运行。在只有一个核心的旧处理器中，并行执行意味着操作系统在可运行进程周围快速循环，并从每个进程中运行一点。这样的“位”称为时间片，一般为10ms左右。

如今，随着多核 CPU 的时代，您可能会看到事物真正并行运行。

所以你可以看到:

• 首先只有父进程运行一次
• 然后父级和子级都运行一个时间片
• 最后只有 clild 运行。

进程之间的实际调度(使用一个或多个内核，何时在进程之间切换)取决于您所使用的操作系统。
