Linux 多进程程序调试实例(二)-exec函数的使用

进阶版多进程程序实例

主要是使用子进程去执行调用另外一个可执行程序，具体实现是调用 exec 函数簇实现一个进程对执行另外一个可执行程序的功能。

1. exec 函数簇定义

#include <unistd.h>

extern char **environ;

int execl(const char *path, const char *arg, ...);
int execlp(const char *file, const char *arg, ...);
int execle(const char *path, const char *arg,..., char * const envp[]);
int execv(const char *path, char *constargv[]);
int execvp(const char *file, char *constargv[]);
int execvpe(const char *file, char *const argv[],char *const envp[]);

2. 代码

// multiprocess.cpp
#include<iostream>
#include<unistd.h>
#include<cstdio>
int main()
{
    pid_t pid = fork();
    if( 0 == pid ) {
        std::cout << "hi, I'am a child process and the process id is " << getpid() << std::endl;
        execl("./multiexec","multiexec","arg1","arg2",NULL);
    }
    else if(pid > 0){
        std::cout << "hi, I'am a parent process and the process id is " << getpid() << std::endl;
    }
    else{
        perror("fork");
    }
    return 0;
}
// multiexec.cpp
#include<iostream>
#include<cstdio>

int main(int argc, char* argv[]){
    std::cout << __FILE__ << " " << __func__ << " " << __LINE__ << std::endl;

    if(argc > 1) {
        for(int i = 0; i < argc; ++i){
            printf("argv[%d]: %s\n", i, argv[i]);
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

3. 调试
   因为当前我们知道要调试子进程，所以可以在刚进入GDB页面时就开始设置对应的调试属性
   1. GDB multiprocess
   2. set follow-fork-mode child
   3. catch exec // 捕获 exec 函数调用
   4. r // 执行后会直接运行到exec调用处，即子进程的执行函数处
   5. b main // 此时子进程的所有参数已经被替换成 multiexec 的对应的执行内容了
   6. c // 执行 c 而不是 s/n 的原因是，在exec调用到 main 函数中会有一些不知道什么的代码还在执行，会有好几步需要执行，索性就在 multiexec 的 main 处打上断点，然后直接执行到 main 函数处
4. 调试记录

(gdb) set follow-fork-mode child
(gdb) catch exec 
Catchpoint 1 (exec)
(gdb) r
