Description
According to the fork() documentation the parent process (n ./src/os/unix/ngx_daemon.c) should call _exit() and not exit(). We got a random crash recently (not reproducible unfort.) with the crash point being somewhere in the finalization stage:
2 libsystem_c.dylib 0x9a3c5f0b cxa_finalize + 183
3 libsystem_c.dylib 0x9a3c6236 exit + 31
4 nginx.dylib 0x07bda79d ngx_daemon + 173
5 nginx.dylib 0x07ba83a1 main + 1377
This is just a suspicion that it might have something to do with the way nginx exits.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
The fork() documentation as available in POSIX doesn't list any restrictions on using exit() after a fork(). You are likely confused it with atexit().
