循环工作线程而不阻塞它们

Hello是否有办法运行一组线程(不阻塞它们)并在主线程发出信号时停止?

例如在此线程回调中:

void *threadCallback ( void * threadID) {
    syncPrint("Thread %lu started . Waiting for stop signal\n", threadID);
    pthread_mutex_lock(&stopSignalGuard);
    int i = 0;
    while(!stopSignal) {
        i++;
        syncPrint("increment : %d \n",i);
        pthread_cond_wait(&stopCondition,&stopSignalGuard);
    }
    syncPrint("Stop signal received. Thread %lu will terminate...\n",(long)threadID);
    pthread_mutex_unlock(&stopSignalGuard);
    pthread_exit(NULL);
}

从我看到的情况来看,while循环无法有效运行。执行被pthread_cond_wait(...)阻止。可以运行此循环,直到主线程指示工人停止?或者是另一种方法吗?

谢谢!

如果线程在某些条件发生变化之前无法取得进展,则只需使用pthread_cond_wait()

在你的情况下,线程显然还有其它可以做的事情,所以你只需检查互斥保护部分中的标志然后继续:

int getStopSignal(void)
{
    int stop;

    pthread_mutex_lock(&stopSignalGuard);
    stop = stopSignal;
    pthread_mutex_unlock(&stopSignalGuard);

    return stop;
}       

void *threadCallback (void * threadID)
{
    int i = 0;

    syncPrint("Thread %lu started . Waiting for stop signal\n", threadID);

    while(!getStopSignal()) {
        i++;
        syncPrint("increment : %d \n",i);
    }

    syncPrint("Stop signal received. Thread %lu will terminate...\n",(long)threadID);
    pthread_exit(NULL);
}
