Hi folks,
does 'sysctlbyname("sysctl.proc_exec_affinity", ..' [1] affect the
direct subprocesses only or is this inherited to child processes?
Yes, the flag is inherited; consider that if you are running a PPC
binary under Rosetta on an Intel box, and it needs to execute
something that talks to the main app using Mach messages, and that in
turn needs to execute something else that does the same, and you
haven't gone to the trouble to mdeal with the byte order issues (or
one of them was a third party app).
