When this feature code is on we define a signal handler for SIGCHLD and call waitpid to clean up the child process. If this feature code is off, we wait until all children are forked and then loop through the array of child pids and call waitpid() on each. The purpose of this feature code was to see if there is any difference in timing based on cleaning up zombies faster. Test have shown no appreciable difference. */ /* Return a floating point number of seconds since the start time in the timeval structure pointed to by starttv */ float elapsedtime(struct timeval *starttv) { struct timeval currenttime; gettimeofday(¤ttime,NULL); return ((currenttime.tv_sec - starttv->tv_sec) + ((float)(currenttime.tv_usec - starttv->tv_usec)/1000000)); } #ifdef USESIGCHLDHND int childexitcnt = 0; void sigchldhnd(int signum) { if (waitpid(-1,NULL,WNOHANG)) ++childexitcnt; return; } #endif int main(void) { pid_t childpid[MAXJOBS]; int x,i; int childcnt = 0; float endfork, endwait; struct shmid_ds myshmid_ds; unsigned int mb; int myshmid; key_t mykey = 0xf00df00d; char *mymem = 0; struct timeval starttime; #ifdef USESIGCHLDHND struct sigaction sa; sa.sa_handler = sigchldhnd; sigemptyset(&sa.sa_mask); sa.sa_flags = SA_RESTART; if (sigaction(SIGCHLD, &sa, NULL) == -1) { printf("sigaction() failed, errno %d - exiting\n",errno); exit(1); } #endif printf("\nNumber of jobs to fork (max %d): ",MAXJOBS); scanf("%d",&x); if ((x < 1) || (x > MAXJOBS)) { printf("\ninvalid input - exiting\n"); exit(1); } printf("\nNumber of MB to allocate (0-%d): ",MAXMALLOC); scanf("%d",&mb); if (mb > MAXMALLOC) { printf("\ninvalid input - exiting\n"); exit(1); } /* allocate and initialize shared memory if number of MB is not zero */ if (mb) { myshmid = shmget(mykey,mb*1024*1024,IPC_CREAT|0777); if (myshmid == -1) { printf("\nshmget() failed, errno %d. - exiting\n",errno); exit(1); } mymem = (char *) shmat(myshmid,0,0); if (mymem == (char *) -1) { printf("\nshmat() failed, errno %d. - exiting\n",errno); exit(1); } if (shmctl(myshmid,IPC_STAT,&myshmid_ds)) { printf("\nshmctl() failed, errno %d. - exiting\n",errno); exit(1); } /* write a pattern in the new shmem segment*/ for (i=0; i < (mb*1024*1024); i+=32) mymem[i]='R'; } printf("\nStarting %d jobs. time:0.0", x); fflush(stdout); gettimeofday(&starttime,NULL); for (i=0; i
