c - 如何从子进程获取返回值给父进程？

Question

我应该将斐波那契数列前 12 项的总和从子进程返回到父进程，但父进程得到 377，父进程得到 30976。

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    pid_t childpid;
    int i, fib_sum=0, fib1=1, fib2=1, temp, status;

    childpid=fork();

    if(childpid!=0)
    {
        wait(&status);
        fprintf(stderr, "%d\n", status);
    }
    else
    {
        for(i=1; i<=12; i++)
        {
            temp=fib1;
            fib_sum=fib1+fib2;
            fib1=fib_sum;
            fib2=temp;
        }
        fprintf(stderr, "%d\n", fib_sum);
        return fib_sum;
    }
}

我做错了什么？

Answer 1

I'm supposed to return the sum of first 12 terms of Fibonacci series from child process to parent one but instead having 377, parent gets 30976.

进程退出状态的值有限，因此它不是在子进程和父进程之间传递值的最佳方式。

解决方案之一是使用管道传递计算值。

#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    pid_t childpid;
    int i, fib_sum=0, fib1=1, fib2=1, temp, status;

    int fd[2];
    int val = 0;

    // create pipe descriptors
    pipe(fd);

    childpid = fork();
    if(childpid != 0)  // parent
    {
        close(fd[1]);
        // read the data (blocking operation)
        read(fd[0], &val, sizeof(val));

        printf("Parent received value: %d\n", val);
        // close the read-descriptor
        close(fd[0]);
    }
    else  // child
    {
        // writing only, no need for read-descriptor:
        close(fd[0]);

        for(i=1; i<=12; i++)
        {
            temp = fib1;
            fib_sum = fib1+fib2;
            fib1 = fib_sum;
            fib2 = temp;
        }

        // send the value on the write-descriptor:
        write(fd[1], &fib_sum, sizeof(fib_sum)); 
        printf("Child send value: %d\n", fib_sum);

        // close the write descriptor:
        close(fd[1]);

        return fib_sum;
    }
}

测试:

Child send value: 377                                                                                                                         
Parent received value: 377
