我在execl()和pthread的組合使用中遇到問題。我的想法很簡單:編寫一個守護進程,在某些情況下啓動一個外部進程(關於守護進程本身的一個單獨的可執行文件)並等待該進程的返回值。此外,我想有可能同時啓動同一進程的多個實例。C編程。使用execl和pthread
我的代碼來處理多個線程的部分:
...
for (c_thread=0,i=0;i<N;i++)
{
/* Start actions before start threads */
for (j=c_thread;j<c_thread+config.max_threads;j++)
Before_Process(act[act_index[j]].measID);
/* Now create threads */
for (c=0,j=c_thread;j<c_thread+config.max_threads;j++)
{
Print_Log(LOG_DEBUG,"Create tread n. %d, measurementID=%s",c,act[act_index[j]].measID);
if ((ret=pthread_create(&pth[c],NULL,Start_Process_Thread,(void *) &act[act_index[j]].measID)))
{
Print_Log(LOG_ERR,"Error in creating thread (errorcode: %d)",ret);
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
c++;
}
/* Joint threads */
for (j=0;j<config.max_threads;j++)
{
if ((ret=pthread_join(pth[j], (void**) &r_value[j])))
{
Print_Log(LOG_ERR,"Error in joint thread (errorcode: %d)",ret);
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
}
/* Perform actions after the thread */
for (j=0;j<config.max_threads;j++)
{
status=*(int*) r_value[j];
Print_Log(LOG_DEBUG,"Joint tread n. %d. Return value=%d",j,status);
After_Process(act[act_index[c_thread+j]].measID,status);
}
c_thread += config.max_threads;
}
...
而且功能Start_Process_Thread:
void *Start_Process_Thread(void *arg)
{
int *ret;
char *measID;
measID=(char*)arg;
if (!(ret=malloc(sizeof(int))))
{
Print_Log(LOG_ERR, "allocation memory failed, code=%d (%s)",
errno, strerror(errno));
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
*ret=Start_Process(measID);
pthread_exit(ret);
}
int Start_Process(char *measID)
{
...
pipe(pfd);
pid=fork();
if (!pid)
{
signal(SIGALRM,Timeout);
alarm(config.timeout_process);
flag=0;
/*
Start the Process.
*/
ret=execl(config.pre_processor,buff_list[TokCount-1],config.db_name,measID,(char *) 0);
if (ret==-1)
{
alarm(0);
flag=1;
Print_Log(LOG_ERR,"Cannot run script %s, code=%d (%s)",config.process, errno, strerror(errno));
}
alarm(0);
close(1);
close(pfd[0]);
dup2(pfd[1],1);
write(1,&flag,sizeof(int));
}
else
{
wait(&status);
close(pfd[1]);
read(pfd[0],&flag,sizeof(int));
close(pfd[0]);
if (!flag)
{
if (WIFEXITED(status))
{
if (!(return_value=WEXITSTATUS(status)))
{
/*
Process gives no errors.
*/
Print_Log(LOG_INFO, "Processing of measurementID=%s ended succesfully!",measID);
}
else
{
/*
Process gives errors.
*/
Print_Log(LOG_WARNING,"Processor failed for measurementID=%s, code=%d",measID, return_value);
}
}
else
{
/*
Timeout for Process
*/
Print_Log(LOG_WARNING,"Timeout occurred in processing measurementID=%s",measID);
return_value=255;
}
}
}
}
上面的代碼工作,從技術上看不錯,但我在某處有問題處理被調用外部進程的不同實例的返回值。特別是它發生的情況是,與某個實例相關的返回值隨機地歸因於一個不同的實例。 例如,假設分別以參數meas1,meas2,meas3和meas4調用外部過程的4個不同實例,並假定meas1,meas2和meas3已成功處理,而meas4過程失敗。在這樣的情況下,我的代碼混淆了返回值,使meas1,meas3和meas4成功,meas2失敗或者meas1,meas2,meas4和meas3失敗成功。
任何想法爲什麼會發生這種情況?
任何幫助真的很受歡迎。
非常感謝您的關注。
謝謝!我已經使用waitpid()函數而不是wait()來解決問題。 – gda 2012-07-13 15:58:29
