Out of curiosity, if you write the same thing as a C program, does it still leak?

When any child process die, the parent process will receive a SIGCHLD signal. Then, the parent process will re-fork-execvp the child... (7 Replies)

It was a fresh install and I have just moved one WordPress site onto there.

pthread_cancel
PTHREAD_CANCEL(3) BSD Library Functions Manual PTHREAD_CANCEL(3)
NAME
pthread_cancel -- cancel execution of a thread
LIBRARY
POSIX Threads Library (libpthread, -lpthread)
SYNOPSIS
#include <pthread.h>
int
pthread_cancel(pthread_t thread);
DESCRIPTION
The pthread_cancel() function requests that thread be canceled. The target thread's cancelability state and type determines whether and when
the target thread reacts to the cancellation request.
1. The cancelability state of a thread is determined by the pthread_setcancelstate(3) function. The state can be either:
o PTHREAD_CANCEL_ENABLE: the cancelability type determines when the actual cancellation occurs. This is the default.
o PTHREAD_CANCEL_DISABLE: the request from pthread_cancel() remains queued until the cancellation is enabled by the thread.
2. The cancellation type of a thread is determined by the pthread_setcanceltype(3) function. The type can be either:
o PTHREAD_CANCEL_DEFERRED: the cancellation will be delayed until the thread calls a function that is a cancellation point. This
is the default. The available cancellation points are listed in pthread_setcanceltype(3).
o PTHREAD_CANCEL_ASYNCHRONOUS: the thread can be canceled at any time.
When the tread reacts to the cancellation request, the following occur:
1. The cancellation cleanup handlers for the thread are called; see pthread_cleanup_push(3).
2. When the last cancellation cleanup handler returns, the thread-specific data destructor functions will be called for the thread.
3. When the last destructor function returns, the thread will be terminated; see pthread_exit(3).
The cancellation processing in the target thread runs asynchronously with respect to the calling thread returning from pthread_cancel().
A status of PTHREAD_CANCELED is made available to any threads joining with the target. The symbolic constant PTHREAD_CANCELED expands to a
constant expression of type (void *), whose value matches no pointer to an object in memory nor the value NULL.
RETURN VALUES
If successful, the pthread_cancel() functions will return zero. Otherwise an error number will be returned to indicate the error.
ERRORS
The pthread_cancel() function may fail if:
[ESRCH] No thread could be found corresponding to that specified by the given thread ID.
SEE ALSO
pthread_cleanup_pop(3), pthread_join(3), pthread_testcancel(3)
STANDARDS
The function conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').
