I have a program where I created two threads. In one thread I assigned a value to integers a
and b
. In the second thread, I want to access a
and b
, to change their values.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <pthread.h>
struct data {
int a;
int b;
};
struct data temp;
void *assign(void *temp)
{
struct data *new;
new = (struct data *) temp;
new->a = 2;
new->b = 2;
printf("You are now in thread1..\n The value of a and b is: %d, %d", new->a + 1, new->b + 1);
printf("\n");
pthread_exit(NULL);
}
void *add(void *temp1)
{
struct data *new1;
new1 = (struct data *) temp1;
printf("You are now in thread 2\nValue of a and b is: %d, %d\n", new1->a - 1, new1->b - 1);
pthread_exit(NULL);
}
int main()
{
pthread_t threads[2];
pthread_attr_t attr;
void *status;
int rc, t;
pthread_attr_init(&attr);
pthread_attr_setdetachstate(&attr, PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE);
pthread_create(&threads[0], NULL, assign, (void *) &temp);
pthread_create(&threads[1], NULL, add, (void *) &temp);
pthread_attr_destroy(&attr);
for (t = 0; t < 2; t++) {
rc = pthread_join(threads[t], &status);
if (rc) {
printf("ERROR; return code from pthread_join() is %d\n", rc);
exit(-1);
}
printf("Main: completed join with thread %ld having a status of %ld\n", t, (long) status);
}
pthread_exit(NULL);
return 0;
}
But the above program executes the two threads simultaneously. Sometimes I get
thread1..
The value of a and b is: 3, 3
thread 2
Value of a and b is: 1, 1
and sometimes I get
thread 2
Value of a and b is: -1, -1
You are now in thread1..
The value of a and b is: 3, 3
I want to make thread-2(add) to wait for thread-1(assign) to finish and exit. How can I implement it?
If one thread must wait for the other to finish, I see three options:
pthread_join()
on the first one.Collected from the Internet
