分叉多个进程的问题

我正在实施一个简单的分叉练习,我需要分叉5个新进程,并在每个进程中运行n次函数,并获得完成时间。问题是,它们没有在子进程中更新,代码看起来像这样:

    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <iostream>
    #include <sstream>
    #include <ctime>
    #include <sys/time.h>
    #include <sys/types.h>
    #include <unistd.h>
    #include <sys/wait.h>
    using namespace std;

    int f1(string file);
    int f2(string file);
    int f3(string file);
    int f4(string file);
    int sendpacket(string echoString);
    typedef int (*ptof)(int,string,double&);


    int p1(int n, string file, double& elapsed)
    {
    struct timeval time;
    gettimeofday(&time, NULL);
    double t1 = time.tv_sec + (time.tv_usec/1000000.0);

    for(int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
        f1(file);
    }

    gettimeofday(&time, NULL);
    double t2 = time.tv_sec + (time.tv_usec/1000000.0);
    elapsed = t2-t1;
    exit(0);
    return 0;
    }

    int p2(int n, string file,double& elapsed)
    {
    struct timeval time;
    gettimeofday(&time, NULL);
    double t1 = time.tv_sec + (time.tv_usec/1000000.0);

    for(int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
        f2(file);
    }

    gettimeofday(&time, NULL);
    double t2 = time.tv_sec + (time.tv_usec/1000000.0);
    elapsed = t2-t1;
    exit(0);
    return 0;
    }

    int p3(int n, string file, double& elapsed)
    {
    struct timeval time;
    gettimeofday(&time, NULL);
    double t1 = time.tv_sec + (time.tv_usec/1000000.0);

    for(int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
        f3(file);
    }

    gettimeofday(&time, NULL);
    double t2 = time.tv_sec + (time.tv_usec/1000000.0);
    elapsed = t2-t1;
    exit(0);
    return 0;
    }

    int p4(int n, string file, double& elapsed)
    {
    struct timeval time;
    gettimeofday(&time, NULL);
    double t1 = time.tv_sec + (time.tv_usec/1000000.0);

    for(int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
        f4(file);
    }

    gettimeofday(&time, NULL);
    double t2 = time.tv_sec + (time.tv_usec/1000000.0);
    elapsed = t2-t1;
    exit(0);
    return 0;
    }

    int p5(int n, string file, double& elapsed)
    {
    struct timeval time;
    gettimeofday(&time, NULL);
    double t1 = time.tv_sec + (time.tv_usec/1000000.0);

    for(int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
        sendpacket(file);
    }

    gettimeofday(&time, NULL);
    double t2 = time.tv_sec + (time.tv_usec/1000000.0);
    elapsed = t2-t1;
    exit(0);
    return 0;
    }

    int main(int argc, char** argv)
    {
    //read the user value for n
    int n;
    string input = "";
    pid_t pid1, pid2, pid3, pid4, pid5;
    while (true)
    {
        cout << "Enter a number: ";
        getline(cin, input);

        stringstream myStream(input);
        if (myStream >> n)
            break;
        cout << "Invalid number, please try again" << endl;
    }

    //reading filename
    cout << "Enter the name of the file you want read/written and message for sendpacket: ";
    string f;
    cin >> f;

    double elapsedTimes[5];
    pid_t processes[5];
    ptof functions[5] = {p1, p2, p3, p4, p5};
    pid_t pid = fork();
    for(int i =0; i<5; i++){
      switch(pid){
      case -1:
 cout<< "Forking Error" << endl;
 exit(-1);
      case 0:
 functions[i](n,f,elapsedTimes[i]);
      default:
 if(i<4){
 pid = fork();
 break;
 }
 else if(i==4){
  wait(NULL);
  break;
       }
      }

    }        


    for(int i = 0; i<5;i++){
      cout << endl << "Function p" << i+1 << " ran for "; 
      cout <<  elapsedTimes[i] << " seconds." << endl;
    }
    return(0);
    }

,这会产生这个输出:

功能p1运行0秒。

功能p2运行6.95322e-310秒。

功能p3运行0秒。

功能p4运行6.95322e-310秒。

功能p5运行2.122e-314秒。

这是不正确的。我做错了什么?

1 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:0)

首先:fork()将生成新进程,而不是新线程,因此声明的变量不会在它们之间共享。要做那样的事情 - 你需要线程,而不是进程。

第二:fork()是异步的。它不会等到进程完成,它会在启动后立即返回(并获得PID)。我想你自己想出了这个。
