我有一个项目,我在队列中添加作业,我有多个线程从事工作,并计算自己的独立结果。
我的程序处理SIGINT信号,我尝试加入线程以添加结果,打印到屏幕,然后退出。我的问题是,当我发送信号时,线程似乎停止运行,或者它们在mutex_lock上被阻止。以下是我的计划的重要部分,以便简洁。
的main.c
//the thread pool has a queue of jobs inside
//called jobs (which is a struct)
struct thread_pool * pool;
void signal_handler(int signo) {
pool->jobs->running = 0; //stop the thread pool
pthread_cond_broadcast(pool->jobs->cond);
for (i = 0; i < tpool->thread_count; i++) {
pthread_join(tpool->threads[i], retval);
//do stuff with retval
}
//print results then exit
exit(EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
int main() {
signal(SIGINT, signal_handler);
//set up threadpool and jobpool
//start threads (they all run the workerThread function)
while (1) {
//send jobs to the job pool
}
return 0;
}
thread_stuff.c
void add_job(struct jobs * j) {
if (j->running) {
pthread_mutex_lock(j->mutex);
//add job to queue and update count and empty
pthread_cond_signal(j->cond);
pthread_mutex_unlock(j->mutex);
}
}
struct job * get_job(struct jobs * j) {
pthread_mutex_lock(j->mutex);
while (j->running && j->empty)
pthread_cond_wait(j->cond, j->mutex);
if (!j->running || j->empty) return NULL;
//get the next job from the queue
//unlock mutex and send a signal to other threads
//waiting on the condition
pthread_cond_signal(j->cond);
pthread_mutex_unlock(j->mutex);
//return new job
}
void * workerThread(void * arg) {
struct jobs * j = (struct jobs *) arg;
int results = 0;
while (j->running) {
//get next job and process results
}
return results;
}
感谢您的帮助,这让我很头疼!
答案 0 :(得分:2)
您不应该从处理异步生成的信号(如pthread_cond_wait
)的信号处理程序中调用pthread_join
或SIGINT
。相反,您应该阻止所有线程SIGINT
,生成专用线程,并在那里调用sigwait
。这意味着您可以在信号处理程序上下文之外检测到SIGINT
信号的到达,这样您就不会受async-signal-safe functions的限制。如果将信号传递给其中一个工作线程,您还可以避免自死锁的风险。
此时,您只需要有序地关闭工作队列/线程池。根据详细信息,使用running
标志的现有方法甚至可以保持不变。
