10 // Vforked process shares memory (including stack) with parent so it's
11 // range of actions is significantly limited: can't write variables,
12 // can't call functions not in the allowed list, etc. For more details, see
13 // http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/vfork.2.html
15 // This checker checks for prohibited constructs in vforked process.
16 // The state transition diagram:
17 // PARENT ---(vfork() == 0)--> CHILD
19 // --(*p = ...)--> bug
