Threads example and library

Threads Example and Library

This section contains three downloadable files. Follow these links for threads.h, threads.c, and test.c.

Test.c just contains a simple demonstration of a C program that uses threads and semaphores in a trivial but illustrative example. After downloading the files, you can compile and run the example like this:

        cc -pthread threads.c test.c
        ./a.out

Your program should be written in C++. the cc compiler for C and the CC compiler for C++ are not completely compatible, so you'll need to recompile the library (just once) like this:

        CC -c threads.c
Then each time you edit your program, recompile it alone, then relink and run. Like this:

        CC -c hw7.cpp
        CC -pthread hw7.o threads.o
        ./a.out
