Notify the
          <a class="link" href="../execution_context.html" title="execution_context"><code class="computeroutput">execution_context</code></a>
          of a fork-related event.
        </p>
<pre class="programlisting">void notify_fork(
    fork_event event);
</pre>
<p>
          This function is used to inform the <a class="link" href="../execution_context.html" title="execution_context"><code class="computeroutput">execution_context</code></a>
          that the process is about to fork, or has just forked. This allows the
          <a class="link" href="../execution_context.html" title="execution_context"><code class="computeroutput">execution_context</code></a>,
          and the services it contains, to perform any necessary housekeeping to
          ensure correct operation following a fork.
        </p>
<p>
          This function must not be called while any other <a class="link" href="../execution_context.html" title="execution_context"><code class="computeroutput">execution_context</code></a>
          function, or any function associated with the execution_context's derived
          class, is being called in another thread. It is, however, safe to call
          this function from within a completion handler, provided no other thread
          is accessing the <a class="link" href="../execution_context.html" title="execution_context"><code class="computeroutput">execution_context</code></a>
          or its derived class.

          function:

<pre class="programlisting">my_execution_context.notify_fork(execution_context::fork_prepare);

          For each service object <code class="computeroutput">svc</code> in the <a class="link" href="../execution_context.html" title="execution_context"><code class="computeroutput">execution_context</code></a>
          set, performs <code class="computeroutput">svc-&gt;notify_fork();</code>. When processing the
          fork_prepare event, services are visited in reverse order of the beginning
          of service object lifetime. Otherwise, services are visited in order of
          the beginning of service object lifetime.
