OS Assignment 2

This document provides code for solving the reader-writer problem using mutexes and semaphores. It defines functions for reader and writer threads, initializes semaphores for mutex and writing, creates threads for the given number of readers and writers, and joins the threads. The reader and writer functions implement locking using semaphores - the reader function locks mutex before/after reading, and increments/decrements the read count, while the writer function waits on the write semaphore to enter the critical section.

Reader Writer Problem solution with Mutex , Semaphore


Code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <semaphore.h>
#include <unistd.h>
void *writer_thr(int temp);
void *reader_thr(int temp);
sem_t mutex;
sem_t wrt;
int readcount = 0, nwt, nrd;
void main()
{
long int i;
sem_init(&mutex, 0, 1);
sem_init(&wrt, 0, 1);
pthread_t reader[100], writer[100];
printf("\nEnter number of readers:");
scanf("%d", &nrd);
printf("\nEnter number of writers:");
scanf("%d", &nwt);
for (i = 1; i <= nwt; i++)
{
pthread_create(&writer[i], NULL, (void *)writer_thr, (int *)i);
pthread_join(writer[i], NULL);
}
for (i = 1; i <= nrd; i++)
{
pthread_create(&reader[i], NULL, (void *)reader_thr, (int *)i);
}
for (i = 1; i <= nrd; i++)
{
pthread_join(reader[i], NULL);
}
sem_destroy(&wrt);
sem_destroy(&mutex);
}
void *reader_thr(int temp)
{
printf("\nReader %d is trying to enter database for reading.", temp);
sem_wait(&mutex);
readcount++;
if (readcount == 1)
sem_wait(&wrt);
sem_post(&mutex);
printf("\nReader %d is now reading in database.", temp);
sem_wait(&mutex);
readcount--;
if (readcount == 0)
sem_post(&wrt);
sem_post(&mutex);
printf("\nReader %d has left the database.\n", temp);
sleep(3);
}
void *writer_thr(int temp)
{
printf("\nWriter %d is trying to enter database for modifying data", temp);
sem_wait(&wrt);
printf("\nWriter %d is writing in database.", temp);
sleep(3);
printf("\nWriter %d is leaving the database.\n", temp);
sem_post(&wrt);
}
