    Thank you so much for this video. I really got a clearer understanding of how forks work but then I have a question. What is the essence of duplicating processes with the fork and displaying the same output multiple times

    • @CodeVault
      @CodeVault  3 года назад +11

      The purpose is usually to have many programs run in parallel but also not share any sort of memory. Using message passing to communicate

    • @shanthgaitonde
      @shanthgaitonde Год назад +1

      You can think of processes like apps on your phone. When you open both Instagram and Facebook, in OS, they are two different processes via fork with different memory address space.

      There's this video to set up C/C++ programming for vscode: ruclips.net/video/N5GhV8K8DIc/видео.html
      If you're on Linux, just follow the mingw installation guide but point it to the gcc binaries instead. Should work exactly the same.

  • @yusupovjasur
    @yusupovjasur 3 года назад +1

    Great explanation!
    I have one question though: when you run a program, a child process is printed first, and then the parent (main) process (3:05).
    But in my case, the parent process is run first, then the child process. It seems to depend on compilers. Or what?

    • @CodeVault
      @CodeVault  3 года назад +4

      It depends on many things... Either way, order of execution for processes and threads is undetermined. That's why multi-process and multi-thread programming is difficult.

  • @drunkmadala
    @drunkmadala 2 года назад +1

    Thanks for clarifying this daunting topic, but my question is at what stage or under what conditions would a programmer use fork() function? Or should I say, what is the practical function of fork()?

    • @CodeVault
      @CodeVault  2 года назад +3

      Usually if you want to launch another program from your own program you would use fork() and then a call to execlp() (or similar function). In some niche cases you could use it to distribute work for an algorithm that is easy to parallelize (although usually threads are what are used in that case).
