# parent and child of multiple Unix fork() system calls.
#
# Inferior program calls fork 4 times. Since each fork
# calls fork 4 times, there will be 16 forks. Each fork
# saves the return values of its own 4 fork calls.
# The inferior program builds a tree of processes by executing a loop
# four times, calling fork at each iteration. Thus, at each
# iteration, the total number of processes doubles; after four
# iterations, we have 16 processes. Each process saves the results
# from its 'fork' calls, so we can tell which leaf a given process is
# by looking at which forks returned zero and which returned a pid: a
# zero means to take the child's branch; a pid means to take the
# parent's branch.
# First set gdb to follow the child.
# The result should be that each of the 4 forks returns zero.
