Implementing Read/Write Locks Portably
In multi-threaded programs you often find a usage pattern where many more threads need to read a shared resource than write to it, and where reading the resource would be thread-safe without mutexes if it is not being written. (…
Detecting Crashes in Multi-Threaded Programs
Detecting crashes in multi-threaded systems can be difficult. Often the crashes are difficult to reproduce, and when they happen the faulty operation could have happened many calls ago and so the you don’t get a stack trace at the time…
Implementing Portable Threads and Mutexes
Implementing a portable framework for multi-threading doesn’t have to be difficult or error prone. With the right framework, implementing multi-threaded programs can be pretty simple, and you can hide all the platform dependent functions. You can also implement your threading…
