So if you have two tracer threads A and B, and each of them is attached to a tracee, then thread A might consume thread B's tracee status change by calling `waitpid(-1)`. +Therefore, thread A would have thread B's tracee status. +A typical application could be completely unprepared for this scenario. To avoid that, use the `__WNOTHREAD` flag. That way, thread A will only consume status changes from its own children only. |
