Re: [Boost-users] boost recursive_mutex destructor call in child (forked) process

I am facing a problem in using boost::recursive_mutex.

Flow of my program is:-

1. Get a boost::recursive_mutex lock 2. Fork the process 3. In parent sleep for few seconds and then unlock boost::recursive_mutex. 4. In child call exit(0)

What is happening is that child process is calling the destructor of boost::recursive_mutex and core is dumped. I want that child process should not inherit the boost mutex lock of parent. Please tell me how to do it.

I believe that you should call _exit in the child. In Christ, Steven Watanabe
