This is obviously quite bad.
Huh? The *Windows* PID is not the same after an exec, but the Cygwin PID is maintained after an exec. Try this: #include <stdio.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/wait.h> #include <windows.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { int status; if (argc > 1) { printf ("Execed Child: Cygwin: %d Windows: %lu\n", getpid (), GetCurrentProcessId ()); return 0; } printf ("Parent: Cygwin: %d Windows: %lu\n", getpid (), GetCurrentProcessId ()); switch (fork ()) { case 0: printf ("Forked Child: Cygwin: %d Windows: %lu\n", getpid (), GetCurrentProcessId ()); execl ("./x", "x", "child", NULL); break; default: break; } wait (&status); return 0; } Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
