Question

我的代码中有这一行：

t = wait(&status);

当子进程工作时，状态值为0，好。

但是为什么它在没有工作时会返回256？为什么在出现错误时更改子进程中退出的参数值并不会改变任何内容（例如exit（2）而不是exit（1））？

谢谢

编辑：我在linux上，我用GCC编译。

我定义了这样的状态

int status;
t = wait(&status);

Answer 1

给出这样的代码......

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    pid_t pid;
    int res;

    pid = fork();
    if (pid == 0) {
        printf("child\n");
        exit(1);
    }

    pid = wait(&res);
    printf("raw res=%d\n", res);

    return 0;
}

...... res的值为256。这是因为wait的返回值会对进程的退出状态以及进程退出的原因进行编码。通常，您不应尝试直接解释来自wait的非零返回值;你应该使用WIF...宏。例如，要查看进程是否正常退出：

 WIFEXITED(status)
         True if the process terminated normally by a call to _exit(2) or
         exit(3).

然后获得退出状态：

 WEXITSTATUS(status)
         If WIFEXITED(status) is true, evaluates to the low-order 8 bits
         of the argument passed to _exit(2) or exit(3) by the child.

例如：

int main(int argc, char **argv) {
    pid_t pid;
    int res;

    pid = fork();
    if (pid == 0) {
        printf("child\n");
        exit(1);
    }

    pid = wait(&res);
    printf("raw res=%d\n", res);

    if (WIFEXITED(res))
        printf("exit status = %d\n", WEXITSTATUS(res));
    return 0;
}

状态代码包含有关子进程如何退出的各种信息。提供宏是为了从状态代码中获取信息。

来自linux上的wait(2)：

If status is not NULL, wait() and waitpid() store status information in the int to which it points.  This integer can be inspected with the following macros (which take the integer itself as an argu-
   ment, not a pointer to it, as is done in wait() and waitpid()!):

   WIFEXITED(status)
          returns true if the child terminated normally, that is, by calling exit(3) or _exit(2), or by returning from main().

   WEXITSTATUS(status)
          returns  the  exit status of the child.  This consists of the least significant 8 bits of the status argument that the child specified in a call to exit(3) or _exit(2) or as the argument for a
          return statement in main().  This macro should be employed only if WIFEXITED returned true.

   WIFSIGNALED(status)
          returns true if the child process was terminated by a signal.

   WTERMSIG(status)
          returns the number of the signal that caused the child process to terminate.  This macro should be employed only if WIFSIGNALED returned true.

   WCOREDUMP(status)
          returns true if the child produced a core dump.  This macro should be employed only if WIFSIGNALED returned true.  This macro is not specified in POSIX.1-2001 and is not available on some UNIX
          implementations (e.g., AIX, SunOS).  Only use this enclosed in #ifdef WCOREDUMP ... #endif.

   WIFSTOPPED(status)
          returns true if the child process was stopped by delivery of a signal; this is possible only if the call was done using WUNTRACED or when the child is being traced (see ptrace(2)).

   WSTOPSIG(status)
          returns the number of the signal which caused the child to stop.  This macro should be employed only if WIFSTOPPED returned true.

   WIFCONTINUED(status)
          (since Linux 2.6.10) returns true if the child process was resumed by delivery of SIGCONT.

建议：尝试以下“处理完成状态”宏之一：

http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Process-Completion-Status.html

实施例

  int status = 0;
  ..
  int retval = wait (&status);
  if (WIFEXITED(status)) 
    printf("OK: Child exited with exit status %d.\n", WEXITSTATUS(status));
  else
    printf("ERROR: Child has not terminated correctly.\n");

我用了wait（＆amp; status），状态值是256，为什么？
