23 years agoMake perl fork()-safe (in a slightly limited way) even on
Gurusamy Sarathy [Fri, 20 Jul 2001 18:38:48 +0000]
Make perl fork()-safe (in a slightly limited way) even on
platforms that don't have pthread_atfork() (extension of
the fix in change#11151).

Note that this will not help extensions that call fork()
directly in C, or that link to libraries that call fork()
directly.  Such cases must be fixed to either call
PerlProc_fork(), or call atfork_lock() in parent before the
calling the function that forks and call atfork_unlock()
in both parent and child immediately after the fork().
(There are no worries if C code calls exec() in the child
immediately after a fork().  Only cases where the child
calls perl's API functions (including New()) after the
fork() are problematic.)

This change also eliminates the use of vfork() from perl,
since all such uses were violating the severe restrictions
on modifying the state of the process between the vfork()
and the exec().

This is a modified version of patches suggested by Abhijit
Menon-Sen and Richard Soderberg.
