POSIX C Threads. Mutex example. Don't work as expected
pthread_create(&mythread, NULL, func, NULL);pthread_create(&mythread, NULL, anotherFunc, NULL);pthread_mutex_destroy(&mymutex);
You're destroying the mutex before the threads are done with it, so all bets are off. You'll probably want to pthread_join
the 2 threads before destroying it.
I got few comiplation errors
I couldn't declare int i in for loop
Used an argument name arg as an argument for threads "func" and "anotherFunc"
I have used pthread_join before destroying the mutex.
In this way I am destroying my mutex "mymutex" after both threads "func" and "anotherFunc" have completed their execution
Also each threads now has their own thread id "mythread1" and "mythread2" so in this way I can use pthread_join() function for each thread
#include <stdlib.h>#include <stdio.h>#include <pthread.h>pthread_t mythread1, mythread2;pthread_mutex_t mymutex;void *anotherFunc(void *arg){ pthread_mutex_lock(&mymutex); int i; for(i = 0; i < 100; i++) printf("anotherFunc\n"); pthread_mutex_unlock(&mymutex); pthread_exit(NULL);}void *func(void *arg){ pthread_mutex_lock(&mymutex); int i; for(i = 0; i < 100; i++) printf("func\n"); pthread_mutex_unlock(&mymutex); pthread_exit(NULL);}int main(int argc, char *argv[]){ pthread_mutex_init(&mymutex, NULL); pthread_create(&mythread1, NULL, func, NULL); pthread_create(&mythread2, NULL, anotherFunc, NULL); pthread_join(mythread1, NULL); pthread_join(mythread2, NULL); pthread_mutex_destroy(&mymutex); return EXIT_SUCCESS;}
