Linux 线程同步的三种方法

线程的最大特点是资源的共享性,但资源共享中的同步问题是多线程编程的难点。linux下提供了多种方式来处理线程同步,最常用的是互斥锁、条件变量和信号量。

一、互斥锁(mutex)

通过锁机制实现线程间的同步。

  1. 初始化锁。在Linux下,线程的互斥量数据类型是pthread_mutex_t。在使用前,要对它进行初始化。
    静态分配:pthread_mutex_t mutex = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;
    动态分配:int pthread_mutex_init(pthread_mutex_t *mutex, const pthread_mutex_attr_t *mutexattr);
  2. 加锁。对共享资源的访问,要对互斥量进行加锁,如果互斥量已经上了锁,调用线程会阻塞,直到互斥量被解锁。
    int pthread_mutex_lock(pthread_mutex *mutex);
    int pthread_mutex_trylock(pthread_mutex_t *mutex);
  3. 解锁。在完成了对共享资源的访问后,要对互斥量进行解锁。
    int pthread_mutex_unlock(pthread_mutex_t *mutex);
  4. 销毁锁。锁在是使用完成后,需要进行销毁以释放资源。
    int pthread_mutex_destroy(pthread_mutex *mutex);
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include "iostream"
using namespace std;
pthread_mutex_t mutex = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;
int tmp;
void* thread(void *arg)
{
cout << "thread id is " << pthread_self() << endl;
pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex);
tmp = 12;
cout << "Now a is " << tmp << endl;
pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);
return NULL;
}
int main()
{
pthread_t id;
cout << "main thread id is " << pthread_self() << endl;
tmp = 3;
cout << "In main func tmp = " << tmp << endl;
if (!pthread_create(&id, NULL, thread, NULL))
{
cout << "Create thread success!" << endl;
}
else
{
cout << "Create thread failed!" << endl;
}
pthread_join(id, NULL);
pthread_mutex_destroy(&mutex);
return 0;
}
//编译:g++ -o thread testthread.cpp -lpthread

二、条件变量(cond)

互斥锁不同,条件变量是用来等待而不是用来上锁的。条件变量用来自动阻塞一个线程,直到某特殊情况发生为止。通常条件变量和互斥锁同时使用。条件变量分为两部分: 条件和变量。条件本身是由互斥量保护的。线程在改变条件状态前先要锁住互斥量。条件变量使我们可以睡眠等待某种条件出现。条件变量是利用线程间共享的全局变量进行同步的一种机制,主要包括两个动作:一个线程等待"条件变量的条件成立"而挂起;另一个线程使"条件成立"(给出条件成立信号)。条件的检测是在互斥锁的保护下进行的。如果一个条件为假,一个线程自动阻塞,并释放等待状态改变的互斥锁。如果另一个线程改变了条件,它发信号给关联的条件变量,唤醒一个或多个等待它的线程,重新获得互斥锁,重新评价条件。如果两进程共享可读写的内存,条件变量可以被用来实现这两进程间的线程同步。

  1. 初始化条件变量。
    静态态初始化,pthread_cond_t cond = PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIER;
    动态初始化,int pthread_cond_init(pthread_cond_t *cond, pthread_condattr_t *cond_attr);
  2. 等待条件成立。释放锁,同时阻塞等待条件变量为真才行。timewait()设置等待时间,仍未signal,返回ETIMEOUT(加锁保证只有一个线程wait)
    int pthread_cond_wait(pthread_cond_t *cond, pthread_mutex_t *mutex);
    int pthread_cond_timewait(pthread_cond_t *cond,pthread_mutex *mutex,const timespec *abstime);
  3. 激活条件变量。pthread_cond_signal,pthread_cond_broadcast(激活所有等待线程)
    int pthread_cond_signal(pthread_cond_t *cond);
    int pthread_cond_broadcast(pthread_cond_t *cond); //解除所有线程的阻塞
  4. 清除条件变量。无线程等待,否则返回EBUSY
    int pthread_cond_destroy(pthread_cond_t *cond);
#include <stdio.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include "stdlib.h"
#include "unistd.h"
pthread_mutex_t mutex;
pthread_cond_t cond;
void hander(void *arg)
{
free(arg);
(void)pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);
}
void *thread1(void *arg)
{
pthread_cleanup_push(hander, &mutex);
while(1)
{
printf("thread1 is running\n");
pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex);
pthread_cond_wait(&cond, &mutex);
printf("thread1 applied the condition\n");
pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);
sleep(4);
}
pthread_cleanup_pop(0);
}
void *thread2(void *arg)
{
while(1)
{
printf("thread2 is running\n");
pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex);
pthread_cond_wait(&cond, &mutex);
printf("thread2 applied the condition\n");
pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);
sleep(1);
}
}
int main()
{
pthread_t thid1,thid2;
printf("condition variable study!\n");
pthread_mutex_init(&mutex, NULL);
pthread_cond_init(&cond, NULL);
pthread_create(&thid1, NULL, thread1, NULL);
pthread_create(&thid2, NULL, thread2, NULL);
sleep(1);
do
{
pthread_cond_signal(&cond);
}while(1);
sleep(20);
pthread_exit(0);
return 0;
}
#include <pthread.h>#include <unistd.h>#include "stdio.h"#include "stdlib.h"static pthread_mutex_t mtx = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;static pthread_cond_t cond = PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIZER;struct node{	int n_number;	struct node *n_next;}*head = NULL;static void cleanup_handler(void *arg){	printf("Cleanup handler of second thread./n");	free(arg);	(void)pthread_mutex_unlock(&mtx);}static void *thread_func(void *arg){	struct node *p = NULL;	pthread_cleanup_push(cleanup_handler, p);	while (1)	{		//这个mutex主要是用来保证pthread_cond_wait的并发性		pthread_mutex_lock(&mtx);		while (head == NULL)		{			//这个while要特别说明一下,单个pthread_cond_wait功能很完善,为何			//这里要有一个while (head == NULL)呢?因为pthread_cond_wait里的线			//程可能会被意外唤醒,如果这个时候head != NULL,则不是我们想要的情况。			//这个时候,应该让线程继续进入pthread_cond_wait			// pthread_cond_wait会先解除之前的pthread_mutex_lock锁定的mtx,			//然后阻塞在等待对列里休眠,直到再次被唤醒(大多数情况下是等待的条件成立			//而被唤醒,唤醒后,该进程会先锁定先pthread_mutex_lock(&mtx);,再读取资源			//用这个流程是比较清楚的			pthread_cond_wait(&cond, &mtx);			p = head;			head = head->n_next;			printf("Got %d from front of queue/n", p->n_number);			free(p);		}		pthread_mutex_unlock(&mtx); //临界区数据操作完毕,释放互斥锁	}	pthread_cleanup_pop(0);	return 0;}int main(void){	pthread_t tid;	int i;	struct node *p;	//子线程会一直等待资源,类似生产者和消费者,但是这里的消费者可以是多个消费者,而	//不仅仅支持普通的单个消费者,这个模型虽然简单,但是很强大	pthread_create(&tid, NULL, thread_func, NULL);	sleep(1);	for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)	{		p = (struct node*)malloc(sizeof(struct node));		p->n_number = i;		pthread_mutex_lock(&mtx); //需要操作head这个临界资源,先加锁,		p->n_next = head;		head = p;		pthread_cond_signal(&cond);		pthread_mutex_unlock(&mtx); //解锁		sleep(1);	}	printf("thread 1 wanna end the line.So cancel thread 2./n");	//关于pthread_cancel,有一点额外的说明,它是从外部终止子线程,子线程会在最近的取消点,退出	//线程,而在我们的代码里,最近的取消点肯定就是pthread_cond_wait()了。	pthread_cancel(tid);	pthread_join(tid, NULL);	printf("All done -- exiting/n");	return 0;}

三、信号量(sem)

如同进程一样,线程也可以通过信号量来实现通信,虽然是轻量级的。信号量函数的名字都以"sem_"打头。线程使用的基本信号量函数有四个。

  1. 信号量初始化。
    int sem_init (sem_t *sem , int pshared, unsigned int value);
    这是对由sem指定的信号量进行初始化,设置好它的共享选项(linux 只支持为0,即表示它是当前进程的局部信号量),然后给它一个初始值VALUE。
  2. 等待信号量。给信号量减1,然后等待直到信号量的值大于0。
    int sem_wait(sem_t *sem);
  3. 释放信号量。信号量值加1。并通知其他等待线程。
    int sem_post(sem_t *sem);
  4. 销毁信号量。我们用完信号量后都它进行清理。归还占有的一切资源。
    int sem_destroy(sem_t *sem);
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <semaphore.h>
#include <errno.h>
#define return_if_fail(p) if((p) == 0){printf ("[%s]:func error!/n", __func__);return;}
typedef struct _PrivInfo
{

sem_t s2;

}PrivInfo;

{
pthread_t pt_1 = 0;
pthread_t pt_2 = 0;
int ret = 0;
PrivInfo* thiz = NULL;
thiz = (PrivInfo* )malloc (sizeof (PrivInfo));
if (thiz == NULL)
{
printf ("[%s]: Failed to malloc priv./n");
return -1;
}
info_init (thiz);
ret = pthread_create (&pt_1, NULL, (void*)pthread_func_1, thiz);
if (ret != 0)
{
perror ("pthread_1_create:");
}
ret = pthread_create (&pt_2, NULL, (void*)pthread_func_2, thiz);
if (ret != 0)
{
perror ("pthread_2_create:");
}
pthread_join (pt_1, NULL);
pthread_join (pt_2, NULL);
info_destroy (thiz);
return 0;
}
static void info_init (PrivInfo* thiz)
{
return_if_fail (thiz != NULL);
thiz->end_time = time(NULL) + 10;
sem_init (&thiz->s1, 0, 1);
sem_init (&thiz->s2, 0, 0);
return;
}
static void info_destroy (PrivInfo* thiz)
{
return_if_fail (thiz != NULL);
sem_destroy (&thiz->s1);
sem_destroy (&thiz->s2);
free (thiz);
thiz = NULL;
return;
}
static void* pthread_func_1 (PrivInfo* thiz)
{
return_if_fail(thiz != NULL);
while (time(NULL) < thiz->end_time)
{
sem_wait (&thiz->s2);
printf ("pthread1: pthread1 get the lock./n");
sem_post (&thiz->s1);
printf ("pthread1: pthread1 unlock/n");
sleep (1);
}
return;
}
static void* pthread_func_2 (PrivInfo* thiz)
{
return_if_fail (thiz != NULL);
while (time (NULL) < thiz->end_time)
{
