C++ fork()——创建 "list"进程

Question

我有一个程序可以“一个一个”地创建新进程。是否可以更改此代码以创建一个进程“列表”——即子 1 是子 2 的父，子 2 是子 3 的父，等等？

#include <string>
#include <iostream>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include "err.h"

using namespace std;
int main ()
{
 pid_t pid;
 int i;

 cout << "My process id = " << getpid() << endl;

 for (i = 1; i <= 4; i++)
  switch ( pid = fork() ) {
  case -1:
    syserr("Error in fork");

  case 0:
    cout << "Child process: My process id = " << getpid() << endl;
    cout << "Child process: Value returned by fork() = " << pid << endl;
    return 0;

  default:
    cout << "Parent process. My process id = " << getpid() << endl;
    cout << "Parent process. Value returned by fork() = " << pid << endl;

   if (wait(NULL) == -1) 
   syserr("Error in wait");

 }  
 return 0;
 }

如果你想保持循环以便动态设置fork树的深度，

// Set DEPTH to desired value

#define DEPTH 4

int main ()
{
  pid_t pid;
  int i;

  cout << "My process id = " << getpid() << endl;

  for (i=1 ; i <= DEPTH ; i++) {

    pid = fork();    // Fork

    if ( pid ) {
       break;        // Don't give the parent a chance to fork again
    }
    cout << "Child #" << getpid() << endl; // Child can keep going and fork once
  }

  wait(NULL);        // Don't let a parent ending first end the tree below
  return 0;
}

输出

My process id = 6596
Child #6597
Child #6598
Child #6599
Child #6600
