kill(pid, sig) before waitpid() returns -1 for sig != 0
...
This is a followup to a report back in 2011 about essentially the same issue:
https://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-04/msg00031.html
The same test program in that report demonstrates the issue, but with
kill sending any non-zero signal. To reiterate, the problem here is
POSIX compliance with respect to sending signals to zombie processes.
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/kill.html
claims:
Existing implementations vary on the result of a kill() with pid
indicating an inactive process (a terminated process that has not been
waited for by its parent). Some indicate success on such a call
(subject to permission checking), while others give an error of
[ESRCH]. Since the definition of process lifetime in this volume of
POSIX.1-2008 covers inactive processes, the [ESRCH] error as described
is inappropriate in this case. In particular, this means that an
application cannot have a parent process check for termination of a
particular child with kill(). (Usually this is done with the null
signal; this can be done reliably with waitpid().)
In response to the originally issue, this was fixed *specifically* for
the case of kill(pid, 0). But my reading of the above is that kill()
should return 0 in this case regardless of the signal (modulo
permissions, etc.). On Linux, for example, when calling kill with pid
of a zombie process the kernel will happily deliver the signal to the
relevant task_struct; it will just never be acted on since the task
will never run again.
