提升线程生产者/消费者意外行为

标签: c++ multithreading boost boost-thread producer-consumer

我目前正在编写一个应用程序(使用boost),它将有一个生产者抓取框架和一个消费者阅读框架。我在生产者中添加了一个睡眠语句来模拟抓取框架的时间。我希望消费者等待一个条件变量,然后唤醒生产者的第一个通知来读取该帧。但是,我在日志文件中看到的是消费者(主线程)等待条件变量,但是生产者在消费者退出等待读取框架之前经历了几个通知。

这是我的Worker.h

class Worker {
static log4cxx::LoggerPtr m_log;

public:
    Worker();
    virtual ~Worker();

    void start();
    void stop();
    void getCurrentFrame(/*cv::Mat& frame*/);

private:
    void processFrames();

    volatile bool m_stopRequested;

    bool m_bFrameReady;
    boost::mutex m_mutex;
    boost::condition_variable condF;

    boost::shared_ptr<boost::thread> m_thread;
};

Worker.cpp

LoggerPtr Worker::m_log(Logger::getLogger("fdx.Worker"));

Worker::Worker() {
    m_bFrameReady = false;

    LOG4CXX_INFO(m_log, "Worker() c-tor");

    m_stopRequested = false;

}

Worker::~Worker() {
    LOG4CXX_INFO(m_log, "Worker() d-tor");
}

void Worker::start()
{
    LOG4CXX_INFO(m_log, "Worker()::start()");
    assert(!m_thread);

    m_thread = boost::shared_ptr<boost::thread>(new boost::thread(&Worker::processFrames, this));

    LOG4CXX_WARN(m_log, "Worker()::start() thread[" << m_thread->get_id() << "] started!");
}

void Worker::stop()
{
    LOG4CXX_INFO(m_log, "Worker()::stop()");

    if(m_thread != NULL)
    {
        LOG4CXX_INFO(m_log, "Worker()::stop() ThrId [" << m_thread->get_id() << "]");
        m_stopRequested = true;
        m_thread->join();
    }
    else
    {
        LOG4CXX_WARN(m_log, "Worker()::stop() The thread for this camera was never started.");
    }

LOG4CXX_INFO(m_log, "Worker()::stop() thread stopped!");
}

void Worker::processFrames()
{
    LOG4CXX_WARN(m_log, "Worker()::processFrames() Thread[" << boost::this_thread::get_id() << "] starting...");

    int rc = 0;
    std::stringstream ss;

    while(!this->m_stopRequested)
    {
        boost::mutex::scoped_lock lock(m_mutex);
        LOG4CXX_WARN(m_log, "Worker()::processFrames() Got a Write lock");

        m_bFrameReady = true;
        LOG4CXX_WARN(m_log, "Worker()::processFrames() Frame ready set to true");

        boost::this_thread::sleep(boost::posix_time::milliseconds(200));

        LOG4CXX_WARN(m_log, "Worker()::processFrames() Write Un-lock");

        lock.unlock();

        LOG4CXX_WARN(m_log, "Worker()::processFrames() Notify");

        condF.notify_one();
    }
}

void Worker::getCurrentFrame()
{
    boost::mutex::scoped_lock lock(m_mutex);

    while(!this->m_bFrameReady)
    {
        LOG4CXX_WARN(m_log, "Worker::getCurrentFrame() wait for Read lock");
        condF.wait(lock);
    }

    LOG4CXX_WARN(m_log, "Worker::getCurrentFrame() Frame ready; Got a Read lock");

    m_bFrameReady = false;

    LOG4CXX_WARN(m_log, "Worker::getCurrentFrame() Frame ready set to false");

    LOG4CXX_WARN(m_log, "Worker::getCurrentFrame() Read Un-lock");
    lock.unlock();

}

的main.cpp

LoggerPtr logger(Logger::getLogger("TCamApp"));

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
int rc = 0;

char cwDir[FILENAME_MAX];

Worker* pWorker = NULL;

memset(cwDir, 0, sizeof(cwDir));
getcwd(cwDir, FILENAME_MAX);

std::cout << "Current Working Dir[" << cwDir << "]" << endl;

std::stringstream ss;
ss << "" << cwDir << "/logs.properties";
std::cout << "logs.properties file[" << ss.str() << "]" << endl;

struct stat st;
if(!stat(ss.str().c_str(), &st))
{
    PropertyConfigurator::configure(ss.str());
}
else
{
    BasicConfigurator::configure();
}

LOG4CXX_INFO(logger, "Application [" << argv[0] << "] starting...");

pWorker = new Worker();
assert(pWorker);

pWorker->start();

for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
    pWorker->getCurrentFrame();

    LOG4CXX_INFO(logger, "Iteration [" << i << "]");


    //boost::this_thread::sleep(boost::posix_time::milliseconds(20));
}

pWorker->stop();

LOG4CXX_INFO(logger, "Application [" << argv[0] << "] stopping...");

return rc;
}

正如你可以从日志中看到主线程等待读取,但是另一个线程将在主线程退出它的wait()之前产生多个notifys。

我已经研究了一些,并且认为我已经正确编码了它,但它的表现并不像我预期的那样。我很感激有关解决方案的任何建议。感谢。

这是预期的,因为生产者线程在互斥锁被锁定时正在睡觉。一旦它醒来,它就会通知消费者并再次锁定它。对于谁将锁定互斥锁无法保证“公平”。

您似乎试图实现的是异步队列。它通常包含2个条件变量:一个用于在队列满时按住生产者,另一个用于在队列为空时按住消费者。无论生成或使用队列中的项目需要多长时间,互斥锁只会在推/弹操作的持续时间内被锁定 - 这应该非常快。

您的sleep语句可能只是偏向操作系统的调度程序,以便为生产者线程提供更多优先级。将睡眠移出临界区,以模拟处理外部推送操作,您应该看到消费者线程更具响应性。

在相关的说明中,相反地轮询原子变量以进行终止,您可以将一个sentinel对象(即一个特殊值,如指针队列上的空指针)推送到队列中,让消费者线程知道它们不得不停下来。
