因为main函数和信号处理函数中都调用getpwnam函数,而在getpwnam函数中会调用malloc和free,如果主函数malloc之后收到SIGALRM信号进入信号处理函数,在信号处理函数里malloc然后free,而在信号处理函数调用free和main函数也在调用free时,malloc和free维护的数据结构就出现了损坏。
所以在信号处理函数中调用非可重入函数,则其结果是不可预知的。
1.源代码:
cat -n 10_5.c
1 #include "apue.h"
2 #include <pwd.h>
3
4 static void handler(int signo)
5 {
6 struct passwd *rootptr;
7
8 if ((rootptr = getpwnam("root")) == NULL ){
9 err_sys("getpwnam(root) error");
10 }
11
12 alarm(1);
13 }
14
15 int main()
16 {
17 struct passwd *ptr;
18 signal(SIGALRM,handler);
19 alarm(1);
20
21 for (; ;){
22 if ((ptr = getpwnam("tingbinz")) == NULL)
23 err_sys("getpwnam error");
24 if (strcmp(ptr->pw_name,"tingbinz") != 0)
25 printf("return value corrupted!,pw_name = %s\n",ptr->pwname);
26 }
27 }
2.运行结果:
gcc -ggdb3 -Wall -o call_not_reload_getpwnam 10_5.c
