我的程序似乎没有终止;为什么呢?

标签: c terminal rss fork

我正在使用名为rssgossip.py的内容来搜索我选择的RSS Feed中的短语。

基本上,我正在迭代我要搜索的一系列rss提要,每次我都要分配进程并在子进程上调用execle()。我确实得到了合适的输出,但它看起来很奇怪,然后我的终端只是坐在那里等待一切打印完毕。

代码

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <errno.h>
    #include <unistd.h>
    #include <string.h>

    int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
        char *feeds[] = {"http://feeds.washingtonpost.com/rss/lifestyle",
                     "http://feeds.washingtonpost.com/rss/world",
                     "http://feeds.washingtonpost.com/rss/opinions"};

        int num_feeds = 3;
        if(argc < 2) {
            fprintf(stderr, "You need to tell me a search phrase.\n");
            return 1;
        }
        char *phrase = argv[1];  // this will be the phrase you to search for in the rss feed, passed as an argument
    printf("we are going to search for \"%s\"\n", phrase);
    int i;
    for(i = 0; i < num_feeds; i ++) {
        char var[255];
        sprintf(var, "RSS_FEED=%s", feeds[i]);
        printf("we are going to search this feed: %s\n", var);
        char *my_env[] = {var, NULL};
        // I believe that once we call execle, the while loop stops because we've totally replaced the process! (we need fork...)
        pid_t pid = fork();
        printf("pid: %d\n", pid);
        if(pid == -1) {  // -1 indicates that fork() had a problem cloning the process
            fprintf(stderr, "Can't fork process: %s\n", strerror(errno));
            return 1;
        }
        if(pid == 0) {  // isn't a non-zero number for the parent process?? NO, this is like pid==0, i.e. child process
            printf("running a child process now\n");
            if(execle("/usr/bin/python", "/usr/bin/python",
                    "./rssgossip/rssgossip.py", phrase, NULL, my_env) == -1) {
                fprintf(stderr, "Can't run script: %s\n", strerror(errno));
                return 1;
            }
        }
    }

    return 0;
}

正如你所看到的,最后没有命令提示符,我的终端只是坐在那里等待。为什么?在打印任何匹配文章之前显示命令提示符似乎很奇怪,不知道为什么会发生这种情况。

答案 0 :(得分:2)

您的程序已经终止,但很难看到,因为分叉的子进程继续产生输出。

查看成绩单的中间部分:

running a child process now
aarons-MacBook-Pro:ch9 aaronparisi$ U.S. general in Afghanistan apologizes for highly offensive leaflets

您可以看到您的shell在输出中间显示了一个提示,在原始程序完成时,但子进程仍在运行时。

如果您在完成所有输出后只按[ENTER],您将看到您的shell实际上正在侦听,并且您将立即获得另一个shell提示。

如果您希望程序在完成所有子进程之后才退出,则需要使用wait(2)等待它们完成:http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/waitpid.2.html

如果你的进程没有子进程,则wait返回-1,你可以在循环中调用它,直到它为止:

int status = 0;
while ((wpid = wait(&status)) > 0);

(我从Make parent wait for all child processes得到了具体的公式。)
