Operating System 8

The document contains code implementing the readers-writers problem using semaphores in C. It defines two semaphores - mutex and writeblock. There are reader and writer threads that access a shared data variable in a synchronized manner using these semaphores. Main creates 5 reader and 5 writer threads and joins them after they complete their tasks.

Ques:1 Implement the solution of Readers


Writers problem Using Semaphore?
Code:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<pthread.h>
#include<semaphore.h>

sem_t mutex,writeblock;
int data = 0,rcount = 0;

void *reader(void *arg)


{
int f;
f = ((int)arg);
sem_wait(&mutex);
rcount = rcount + 1;
if(rcount==1)
sem_wait(&writeblock);
sem_post(&mutex);
printf("Data read by the reader%d is
%d\n",f,data);
sleep(1);
sem_wait(&mutex);
rcount = rcount - 1;
if(rcount==0)
sem_post(&writeblock);
sem_post(&mutex);
}

void *writer(void *arg)


{
int f;
f = ((int) arg);
sem_wait(&writeblock);
data++;
printf("Data writen by the writer%d is
%d\n",f,data);
sleep(1);
sem_post(&writeblock);
}

int main()
{
int i,b;
pthread_t rtid[5],wtid[5];
sem_init(&mutex,0,1);
sem_init(&writeblock,0,1);
for(i=0;i<=2;i++)
{
pthread_create(&wtid[i],NULL,writer,(void
*)i);
pthread_create(&rtid[i],NULL,reader,(void
*)i);
}
for(i=0;i<=2;i++)
{
pthread_join(wtid[i],NULL);
pthread_join(rtid[i],NULL);
}
return 0;
}
