State deletion in symbolic mode

[Y Bai]

Hi, 

I have a question about the state deconstruction. How does S2E manage the state deletion?

While I'm using TerminateState API function to terminate one state, I found some other previous forked states get deconstructed silently as well. These states do not have a inheritance relation to each other. 

Thanks!

Hi,

S2E does not terminate states unless TerminateState is called. By default, it is called after the bootstrap.sh script terminates, using the "s2ecmd kill" command [1]. So, if your program forks and the forked state causes the program to exit, that state will be killed by the script.
