Why is my pipe in C not working?

as an exercise, I need to use a signal handler, and pipes need to send messages between two processes when receiving a signal. Below is my source code. When I run it, I can make the pipes work, both processes can talk while I call the pipe in their main method (in this case process1 () and process2 ()). But I want to use pipes inside the manipulators. But now the pipes are not working. This is the result I got:

3 - 4 and 5 - 6
Segv at 8825
USR1 at 8824
898 sent to 4
130 received on 3
130

“898” and “130” should be equal, but no. I know that the pipes are working correctly, so I think this has something to do with the signal material ... But what ...?

    cpoid = cpid + 1;       /*And what the other process ID?*/

    close(fd1[0]);
    close(fd2[1]);

    while (1) {}
}

void process2() {   
    cpid = getpid();
    cpoid = cpid - 1;

    close(fd1[1]);
    close(fd2[0]);

    raise(SIGSEGV);         /*Start with a SegV signal*/
