Hi,
I'm experimenting with process checkpointing in DragonFly 6.2.1 and
don't know how to exit a resumed process correclty. The man page for
sys_checkpoint doesn't address the question, as far as I can see: the
example loops forever and only exits if there is an error.
I have the following code (error handling omitted for brevity):
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/checkpoint.h>
void save(const char* filename)
{
int file = open(filename, O_RDWR|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0666);
sys_checkpoint(CKPT_FREEZE, file, -1, -1);
close(file);
}
int main()
{
puts("a");
save("a.ckpt");
puts("b");
}
This is the output I get:
% gcc test.c -o test -Wall -Wextra
% ./test
a
b
% checkpt -r a.ckpt
b
pid 1143 (test), uid 1001: exited on signal 11 (core dumped)
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
This is the backtrace I get with gdb test test.core:
#0 0x000000080040400f in __tls_get_addr () from /libexec/ld-elf.so.2
#1 0x000000080075648a in _thread_finalize () from /lib/libc.so.8
#2 0x0000000800756449 in exit () from /lib/libc.so.8
#3 0x00000000004007b3 in _start ()
Help would be appreciated.
Regards
Stanislav
