    Published null

    Certification Program The Open Brand certification program
    Test Suite VSU version 4.0.2
    Test Identification Base/exit 4
    Problem Summary PG4U.00014 The test may fail because of timing problems.
    Problem Text
    Test 4: This test calls wait3() with option set to WEXITED.
    This option is not listed as a valid option on the XOPEN wait3()
    page nor the waitpid(wait) man page to which the reader is referred.
    Therefore, we return EINVAL, which according to the man pages would
    be correct.
    After changing the wait3() to options=0, this test still fails due to
    timing - the test uses sleep() on parent to wait for child to finish exit().
    the child does exit() after parent wakes, parent misses it.
    Using waitid(WEXITED|WNOWAIT) makes test work.
    Test Output
    TEST CASE: exit

    TEST PURPOSE #4
    When the parent process of the calling process has set
    its SA_NOCLDWAIT flag a call to void
    exit(int status) shall discard status and end the
    lifetime of the calling process immediately.
    PREP: Set SA_NOCLDWAIT
    PREP: Fork child
    PREP: Wait for child to exit
    PREP: Execute /bin/ps to get child's status
    TEST: Lifetime of child has ended
    ERROR: Life of child continues
    PREP: Call exit
    4 FAIL
