什么时候在读写器问题中唤醒作家?在释放互斥之前还是之后?

我想知道我所处的最佳实践是什么。 在以下代码中,我在解锁互斥锁之前向编写器发出信号

void* Reader(void *context)
{
    while(TRUE)
    {
        LOCK(&g_mutex);
        ++g_activeReaders;
        UNLOCK(&g_mutex);

        printf("reader: %ld counter val: %d ", (long)context, g_counter);

        LOCK(&g_mutex);
        --g_activeReaders;
        printf("g_activeReaders: %d \n", g_activeReaders);
        if(0 == g_activeReaders)
        {
            SIGNAL(&g_cv);
        }
        UNLOCK(&g_mutex);
    }

    return NULL;
}

我想知道出于某种原因这是否更好,以防止死锁

void* Reader(void *context)
{
    int signalFlag;
        while(TRUE)
    {
                signalFlag = 0;
        LOCK(&g_mutex);
        ++g_activeReaders;
        UNLOCK(&g_mutex);

        printf("reader: %ld counter val: %d ", (long)context, g_counter);

        LOCK(&g_mutex);
        --g_activeReaders;
        printf("g_activeReaders: %d \n", g_activeReaders);
        if(0 == g_activeReaders)
        {
                        signalFlag = 1;
        }
        UNLOCK(&g_mutex);

                if(signalFlag)
                SIGNAL(&g_cv);
    }


    return NULL;
}

我完整的程序是:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>

pthread_mutex_t g_mutex = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;
pthread_cond_t g_cv = PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIZER;
int g_activeReaders = 0;
int g_counter;

#define LOCK(X) pthread_mutex_lock(X)
#define UNLOCK(X) pthread_mutex_unlock(X)
#define WAIT pthread_cond_wait
#define WAKE_ALL pthread_cond_broadcast
#define SIGNAL pthread_cond_signal
#define JOIN pthread_join
#define TRUE 1
#define N 3

void* Writer(void * context)
{
    while(TRUE)
    {
        LOCK(&g_mutex);
        while(g_activeReaders)
        {
            WAIT(&g_cv, &g_mutex);
        }

        ++g_counter;
        UNLOCK(&g_mutex);
    }

    return NULL;
}

void* Reader(void *context)
{
    while(TRUE)
    {
        LOCK(&g_mutex);
        ++g_activeReaders;
        UNLOCK(&g_mutex);

        printf("reader: %ld counter val: %d ", (long)context, g_counter);

        LOCK(&g_mutex);
        --g_activeReaders;
        printf("g_activeReaders: %d \n", g_activeReaders);
        if(0 == g_activeReaders)
        {
            SIGNAL(&g_cv);
        }
        UNLOCK(&g_mutex);
    }

    return NULL;
}

void InitWriters(pthread_t* writers, int count)
{
    int status;
    int i;

    for(i = 0; i < count; ++i)
    {
        status = pthread_create(&writers[i], NULL, Writer, NULL);

        if(status)
        {
            fprintf(stderr, "Writer create fail\n");
            exit(-1);
        }
    }
}

void InitReaders(pthread_t* readers, int count)
{
    int status;
    int i;

    for(i = 0; i < count; ++i)
    {
        long e = i;
        status = pthread_create(&readers[i], NULL, Reader, (void*) e);

        if(status)
        {
            fprintf(stderr, "readers create fail\n");
            exit(-1);
        }
    }
}

void JoinThreads(pthread_t* threads, int count)
{
    int status;
    int i;

    for(i = 0; i < count; ++i)
    {
        status = pthread_join(threads[i], NULL);

        if(status)
        {
            fprintf(stderr, "readers create fail\n");
            exit(-1);
        }
    }
}

int main(void)
{
    pthread_t writer;
    pthread_t readers[N];

    InitWriters(&writer, 1);
    InitReaders(readers, N);

    JoinThreads(&writer, 1);
    JoinThreads(readers, N);

    pthread_cond_destroy(&g_cv);
    pthread_mutex_destroy(&g_mutex);

    return 0;
}

这与正确性无关紧要-很好,也没有死锁。

在使用不同线程优先级的情况下,在解锁互斥锁之前发出条件变量信号的实现可以确保等待条件变量的较高优先级线程优先获得较低的互斥锁优先级的线程正在等待互斥锁。
