我正在使用pthreads中的生產者 - 消費者示例。這個想法如下。生產者生成一個在所有消費者線程中共享的新值k。有n_consumers線程和只有一個生產者。爲了便於訪問k，使用了一個包含n_consumers元素的數組。這樣，每次生成一個新的k時，它都被複制到整個pool（pool[0]=k; pool[1]=k;...; pool[n_consumers-1]=k）。pthreads條件 - 有可能忽略cond信號？
這是我的代碼片段：
void *consumer (void *args) {
int id = *(int *) args;
while (1) {
barrier (&barrier1, id);
// 1. lock
pthread_mutex_lock (&mu);
// 2. wait
pthread_cond_wait (&cond_producer_is_ready, &mu);
// 3. unlock
pthread_mutex_unlock (&mu);
// 4. do something with pool[id] value
printf ("thread %d using value %d\n", id, pool[id]);
// 5. stop?
if (stop_condition(pool[id]))
break;
}
return NULL;
}
void *producer (void *args) {
int i;
int id = n_consumers;
while (1) {
barrier(&barrier1, id);
// 1. lock
pthread_mutex_lock (&mu);
// 2. produce some new values
for (i=0; i<n_consumers; i++)
pool[i]++;
// 3. send message indicating a new value is available
printf ("producer sends broadcast...\n");
pthread_cond_broadcast (&cond_producer_is_ready);
// 4. unlock
pthread_mutex_unlock (&mu);
// 5. stop?
// it could be pool[x], it does not matter the index
if (stop_condition(pool[0]))
break;
}
return NULL;
}
這是輸出：
thread 0 in barrier (count 1)
thread 2 in barrier (count 2)
thread 1 in barrier (count 3)
thread 3 in barrier (count 4)
thread 4 in barrier (count 5) <- all the threads are in the barrier (OK)
producer sends broadcast... <- producer send the message to access to k
thread 4 in barrier (count 1) <- the producer waits in the barrier
thread 1 using value 1 <- consumer 1 received the message and use k=1
thread 1 in barrier (count 2)
thread 3 using value 1 <- consumer 2 and 3 received the message too
thread 3 in barrier (count 3)
thread 2 using value 1
thread 2 in barrier (count 4) <- only the consumer 0 did not received the message
看來，只有少數消費者接收信號cond_producer_is_ready，在這種情況下，消費者線程1，2和3，而消費者線程0仍在等待這樣的消息。屏障工作正常，因爲所有的線程都可以達到它。然而，問題在於消息的接收。是否可以確定給定線程是否收到或忽略給定的已發送消息（如cond_producer_is_ready）？
更新 感謝@caf的回答。這是我原來的代碼修正版本，沒有以前的錯誤，只是爲了完整性（或pastebin複製）：
