why won't this code eat up my resources..

[unhappy]

shouldn't it multiply and slow down my system.

int main(){
int x = 1;
while(x){
int fork(void);
}
return 0;
}

[hogfly]

try this for a fork bomb.
#include <unistd.h>

int main(void)
{
while(1) {
fork();
}
return 0;
}

[Striek]

ummm... I may be just being stupid here...

But I don't see any functional difference between those, aside from the #include, which I assume unhappy simply didn't paste.

What's the difference?

[NIKLAS?]

what's that? please give a brief intro...

Hi

While the first example by unhappy simply declares a function fork()
with "void fork(int);" the second by hogfly actually calls system's
fork()-function thus spawning a child process.

Cheers
