问题描述

嗨,我是 C 新手,试图了解互斥锁、条件和线程。我有线程如何工作的基础知识。如果我错了,请纠正我,据我了解,一个线程正在等待另一个 2 个线程发送信号以唤醒他。由于互斥锁,代码一次只能由一个线程运行,线程 2 获取锁并运行代码,sleep(1)有助于交替线程,因此线程 2 不会再次运行它,因此线程 3 获取锁并运行运行代码等等。只有锁定和释放互斥锁的线程。一旦它到达COUNT_LIMIT 12,它就会向线程 1 的等待线程发送一个信号。如果我没有误解任何内容,我到此为止

所以我的问题是这几段代码在void *watch_count

pthread_mutex_lock(&count_mutex);

pthread_cond_wait(&count_threshold_cv, &count_mutex);

pthread_mutex_unlock(&count_mutex);

它是否获得与 in 相同的锁void *inc_count?如果是这样,它会锁定互斥体并且pthread_cond_wait正在等待信号void *watch_count,然后继续执行代码?pthread_mutex_lockpthread_mutex_unlock在做什么,这是否void *watch_count在等待线程 1 完成工作时阻止线程 2 和 3 执行?

我希望我能理解或解释我正确理解的内容,提前感谢您提供的任何建议!

解决方案


是的,您所有的线程都在获取相同的锁(该程序中只有一个互斥锁 - count_mutex)。

watch_count()调用时pthread_cond_wait(),它会解锁互斥锁并在一个原子操作中暂停。这允许其他线程获取锁。当被调用的线程pthread_cond_wait()唤醒时,它会在pthread_cond_wait()返回之前重新获取锁(这意味着如果另一个线程已经锁定了互斥锁,pthread_cond_wait()那么直到另一个线程首先释放锁才能返回)。

调用时必须锁定互斥锁pthread_cond_wait()- 这是 API 的要求。此外,watch_count()线程锁定count_mutex以便它可以访问count变量而不会引入竞争条件(count来自另一个线程的并发修改)。请注意,没有一个线程在没有锁定的情况下访问该count变量 - 无论是读取还是写入。count_mutex
