Hello, If I fork my programm, the child died when it call a function in a DLL. (Cygwin 1.3.10-1 on NT4)
void dll_call(int i) { printf("in dll_call %d\n", i); } ... printf("begin"); switch (pid=fork()) { case 0 : printf("child is alive\n"); dll_call(pid); printf("after dll_call\n"); break; case -1 : printf ("fork error\n"); break; default: printf ("parent is alive\n"); dll_call(pid); while (1); // or sleep; gets, ... same result } Output is : begin child_is_alive parent is alive in dll_call 0 /* nothing else */ Did you see this before ?
