Huh? The *Windows* PID is not the same after an exec, but the
Cygwin PID is maintained after an exec. Try this:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <windows.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int status;
if (argc > 1)
{
printf ("Execed Child: Cygwin: %d Windows: %lu\n",
getpid (), GetCurrentProcessId ());
return 0;
}
printf ("Parent: Cygwin: %d Windows: %lu\n",
getpid (), GetCurrentProcessId ());
switch (fork ())
{
case 0:
printf ("Forked Child: Cygwin: %d Windows: %lu\n",
getpid (), GetCurrentProcessId ());
execl ("./x", "x", "child", NULL);
break;
default:
break;
}
wait (&status);
return 0;
}
