Dear all,
consider the following program
#include<stdio. h>
#include<unistd .h>
main()
{
int pid,*i,j;
i = &j;
*i= 10;
pid = fork();
if(pid == 0)
{
printf("\n address of i = %p",i);
printf("\n initially i value in child = %d",*i);
*i = *i +10;
printf("\n after incrementation i value in child = %d",*i);
puts("Child terminated...." );
}
else
{
wait( (int*) 0);
printf("\n address of i = %p",i);
printf("\n value of i in parent = %d",*i);
}
i am getting o/p as:-
address of i = 0xbfe6c01c
initially i value in child = 10
after incrementation i value in child = 20
Child terminated....
address of i = 0xbfe6c01c
value of i in parent = 10
the address of i is same in both parent and child process but
the change made in child process is not reflected in the
parent process why ?

Looks like you have yet to understand what "process" means or fork()
does. On many system, in particular those which have "fork()", every
process has it's own memory, the OS sets things up that the memory
address 0xbfe6c01c in process A points to a different RAM address than
the same address in process B. That way every process can assume that
nobody else will write into the memory of the process.
You need threads or shared memory on these systems, if you want
concurrent modification. so**********@gm ail.com wrote:

Suppose you're living in a house. You turn the bathroom light on. Then,
your kid goes to live on her own, a few houses down the block. She decides
to turn the bathroom light off, and she then writes in her blog 'I just
turned off the bathroom light'. You check if this is true, but for some
odd reason the bathroom light is still on.
How is this possible ? The bathroom light switch is at exactly the same
location in the house, after all.

What? No standard CLC answers? Nobody pointing out that some of the
putative header files mentioned in this post do not exist - are not C,
etc, etc? No pointing out that we have no idea what "fork" (and, for
that matter, what about "spoon" and "knife") and "wait" (and "hesitate",
"stop", and others...) are? Pointing out that we would need the OP to
supply complete source code (in completely compliant ANSI C, of course)
for these totally unknown functions, before we can even consider
responding?

I'm just a curios visitor, bewildered by the customs of the local
natives. Anyway, I could point out that this question *is* on-topic,
because the OP found an external library function which seems to
undermine C's memory model *completely*, an inexplicable behavior. A
beginner may even wonder, if his/her inchoate proficiency of the
language is the cause of a fallacy only resolvable by the courtesy of
the knowing.

This has nothing to do with the topicality, which is restricted to
ISO standard C. The 'finding' of another external library doesn't
affect that. As long as questions etc. deal with standard C we all
know what the basis is, and no guesswork is needed.
The 'knowing' can be restricted to the reading of the standard,
which is generally available. However, this may be fairly tough on
the newbie.
