Suppose I have a process which spawns exactly one child process. Now when the parent process exits for whatever reason (normally or abnormally, by kill, ^C, assert failure or anything else) I want the child process to die. How to do that correctly?
Some similar question on stackoverflow:
- (asked earlier) How can I cause a child process to exit when the parent does?
- (asked later) Are child processes created with fork() automatically killed when the parent is killed?
Some similar question on stackoverflow for Windows:
- How do I automatically destroy child processes in Windows?
- Kill child process when parent process is killed
