pthread_join似乎修改了我的循环索引

我的代码(见下文)产生奇怪的行为。输出是:

Testing whether there are problems with concurrency ...rc is 0. i is 0
.rc is 0. i is 0
.rc is 3. i is 1
.rc is 0. i is 0
.rc is 3. i is 1
.rc is 3. i is 2
.rc is 0. i is 0
.rc is 3. i is 1
.rc is 3. i is 2
.rc is 3. i is 3
.rc is 0. i is 0
.rc is 3. i is 1
.rc is 3. i is 2
.rc is 3. i is 3
.rc is 3. i is 4
.rc is 0. i is 0
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

我尝试调试它,但只发现我在pthread_join之后立即重置为0。这使我得出结论,修改必须在那里发生。但我无法找到一件事。我觉得有点愚蠢,因为这不是一段很难的代码。我没注意到什么?

操作系统是Ubuntu 14.04。 N_THREADS当前设置为10,N_RUNS为10000。

主线程:

pthread_t threads[N_THREADS];
pthread_attr_t attr;
int i;
int rc;
int status;

printf("Testing whether there are problems with concurrency ...");

pthread_attr_init(&attr);
pthread_attr_setdetachstate(&attr, PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE);

for (i = 0; i < N_THREADS; i++){
  if (i) {
    rc = pthread_create(&(threads[i]), &attr, addRemove, 0);
  } else {
    rc = pthread_create(&(threads[i]), &attr, readStuff, 0);
  }
  if (rc) return rc;
}

for(i = 0; i < N_THREADS; i++) {
  rc = pthread_join(threads[i], (void*) &status);
//  if(rc == 3) 
      printf("rc is %d. i is %d\n", rc, i);
//  if (rc) return rc;
  if (status) return status;
  printf(".");
}

pthread_attr_destroy(&attr);

return 0;

工作线程:

void* readStuff(void* a)
{
  int i;
  for (i = 0; i< N_RUNS; i++){
  ;
  }
  pthread_exit((void*)0);
}

void* addRemove(void* a)
{
   int i;
   for (i = 0; i< N_RUNS; i++){
   ;
   }
   pthread_exit((void*)0);
}

除主线程和上面代码中创建的线程外,没有其他线程。

我认为您的问题出在pthread_join上。从手册页:

       int pthread_join(pthread_t thread, void **retval);
       ...

       If  retval is not NULL, then pthread_join() copies the exit status of the tar‐
       get  thread  (i.e.,  the  value   that   the   target   thread   supplied   to
       pthread_exit(3))  into  the  location  pointed  to  by *retval.  If the target
       thread was canceled, then PTHREAD_CANCELED is placed in *retval.

请注意,它需要void **,这意味着它会用retval(64位大小为8)覆盖void *指向的内容。您正在传递int *(即&status),这是指向大多数平台上大小为4的对象的指针。

因此,pthread_join将覆盖内存。相反,根据函数原型将status声明为void *

您还在测试status;我不知道你想在这里实现什么。

通常,使用-Wall进行编译会向您显示这些错误。
