【问题描述】:
我正在尝试使用 fork() 和 pipe() 将数字从文件发送到子进程,子进程应添加这些数字并将其发送回父进程,然后父进程将添加子总和以获得总和.
对于该问题的简化版本,我有一个由 4 个数字组成的数组,并且只使用 1 个子进程(2 个管道)。
我很难看到我的程序中的控制权在哪里,这让我很难排除其他问题。
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
int numChildProcesses = 1;
int testArray[4] = {2,7,9,4};
printf("Will use 1 child process; %d pipes.\n", numChildProcesses*2);
int fd[numChildProcesses*2][2]; //parent and child
int val = 0, len, i;
// create all the descriptor pairs we need
for (i=0; i<numChildProcesses*2; ++i) // 2 pipes // parent + child
{
if (pipe(fd[i]) < 0)
{
perror("Failed to allocate pipes.");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
}
for (i=0;i<numChildProcesses;i++)
{
//CHILD/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
if (fork() == 0)
{
int total = 0, xCount = 0;
while (xCount < 4)
{
// wait for parent to send us a value
len = read(fd[i][0], &val, sizeof(val));
if (len < 0)
{
perror("Child: Failed to read data from pipe.\n");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
else if (len == 0)
{
// not an error, but certainly unexpected
fprintf(stderr, "Child: Read EOF from pipe\n");
}
else // Successfully read from Parent
{
total += val;
xCount += 1;
printf("Child: Recieved %d\tTotal: %d\tCount: %d\n", val, total, xCount);
}
}
// send the value back to the parent
printf("Child: Sending %d back\n", total);
if (write(fd[i][1], &total, sizeof(total)) < 0)
{
perror("Child: Failed to write response value");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}
//PARENT/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
if (fork() > 0)
{
int total = 0;
// send array to child as well as starting point
printf("\nParent: Sending numbers to child\n");
//if (write(fd[i][1], 0, (fileNumbers/numChildProcesses)*5) != sizeof((fileNumbers/numChildProcesses)*5));
if (write(fd[i][1], &testArray, sizeof(testArray)) != sizeof(testArray))
{
perror("Parent: Failed to send value to child ");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
// now wait for a response
len = read(fd[i][0], &val, sizeof(val));
if (len < 0)
{
perror("Parent: failed to read value from pipe");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
else if (len == 0)
{
// not an error, but certainly unexpected
fprintf(stderr, "Parent: Read EOF from pipe\n");
}
else
{
// report what we received
total += val;
printf("Parent: Received %d\tTotal: %d\n", val, total);
}
// wait for child termination
wait(NULL);
}
}
}
我的输出如下:
Will use 1 child process; 2 pipes.
Parent: Sending numbers to child
Parent: Received 2 Total: 2
Child: Recieved 7 Total: 7 Count: 1
Child: Recieved 9 Total: 16 Count: 2
Child: Recieved 4 Total: 20 Count: 3
此外,如果我一进入for() 循环就尝试printf("%d", fork()); 之类的东西,看看它在控制什么,它会变得有点疯狂。它的作用就像使用fork() 会影响程序的运行方式,就好像它是pop() 或类似的东西。
无论如何,感谢您提供的任何见解。
