fork call __attribute__((destructor))


Hi,
I used to assumed that a function marked with a
"__attribute__((destructor))" would be called after the .so is
unloaded, typically when the program exit. However, I discover that
when I call "fork()" the destructor is also called.

How could that happen? Is it a bug or something? Am I doing something
wrong? What is the rationale behind that?

And, is there any way to prevent the destructor being called when
somebody call fork()?

Thanks,
Yubin
