Eu quero desembolsar vários processos e, em seguida, usar um semáforo sobre eles. Aqui está o que eu tentei:

sem_init(&sem, 1, 1);   /* semaphore*, pshared, value */
.
.
.
if(pid != 0){ /* parent process */
    wait(NULL); /* wait all child processes */

    printf("\nParent: All children have exited.\n");
    .
    .
    /* cleanup semaphores */
    sem_destroy(&sem);      
    exit(0);
}
else{ /* child process */
    sem_wait(&sem);     /* P operation */
    printf("  Child(%d) is in critical section.\n",i);
    sleep(1);
    *p += i%3;  /* increment *p by 0, 1 or 2 based on i */
    printf("  Child(%d) new value of *p=%d.\n",i,*p);
    sem_post(&sem);     /* V operation */
    exit(0);
}

E a saída é:

child(0) forked
child(1) forked
  Child(0) is in critical section.
  Child(1) is in critical section.
child(2) forked
  Child(2) is in critical section.
child(3) forked
  Child(3) is in critical section.
child(4) forked
  Child(4) is in critical section.
  Child(0) new value of *p=0.
  Child(1) new value of *p=1.
  Child(2) new value of *p=3.
  Child(3) new value of *p=3.

  Child(4) new value of *p=4.
Parent: All children have exited.

Isso significa claramente que o semáforo não funcionou como deveria. Você pode explicar como eu deveria usar semáforos em processos bifurcados?
