Yes, I had such an idea, but in the thread library, process IDs increase monotonically, which is bad (due to IDs overflow) for long- lived and actively spawning programs. On the other hand, with process IDs, as in the kernel (reuse of IDs), it is also required to receive group notes in case of an unexpected termination of the child. I.e. the problem is in identifying the processes to kill. > But I have something in mind for a case like > this, when all the processes are going to use the same handler > (that's why I was asking).
