abnormal exit 4

Platform: Mac OS 10.13

Description:

When tried to load test net storage files, it reported exit 4 in the subprocess.

The code

static void angelize(void)
{
#if !defined(_WIN32) && !defined(_WIN64)
	int stat = 0;
	pid_t childpid;
	while((childpid = fork())) {
		signal(SIGINT, SIG_IGN);
		signal(SIGTERM, SIG_IGN);
		if(childpid > 0) while(waitpid(childpid, &stat, 0) == -1) {
			if(errno != EINTR) {
				xdag_err("abort on error");
				abort();
			}
		}
		if(stat >= 0 && stat <= 5) {
			xdag_err("exit %d", stat);
			exit(stat);
		}
		sleep(10);
	}
#endif
}

on linux i don't have this issue, at which block number it happens?

if i understood it correctly this should happen only if child exited with success:

		if(stat >= 0 && stat <= 5) {
			xdag_err("exit %d", stat);
			exit(stat);
		}

in other cases it does another fork, restart (that's why when xdag crash it usually restart) stat value is implementation dependent, so it cannot be read directly, https://linux.die.net/man/2/waitpid here the macros to read stat correctly. But i don't know what he mean with stat >= 0 && stat <= 5, it may be the argument of exit() of the child.. so it should be WEXITSTATUS(stat) >= 0 && WEXITSTATUS(stat) <= 5...

@sgaragagghu According to the explanation of waitpid, the least significant 8 bits store the signal. https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux.git/tree/kernel/exit.c?h=v4.18.16

Tried to catch the stats with

if(WIFSIGNALED(stat)) {
			printf("killed by signal %d\n", WTERMSIG(stat));
		}

and it's signal 4.

xdag> killed by signal 4

signal 4 is #define SIGILL 4 /* illegal instruction (not reset when caught) */

Still have no idea what causes this signal yet.

interesting... it doesn't happen on linux (at least on my computer) so it hard is for me to catch the cause of the issue :/
