界: Time and State

分散式運算與時間和狀態相關。也就是說,為了使多個元件進行通訊,必須共用狀態,並且這一切都需要時間。

大多數的程式設計師將他們的工作擬人化。他們想採用一種控制執行緒來執行整個程式,就像他們必須自己完成這項工作一樣。但是,現代的電腦可以非常快速地切換工作,並且在多核心多 CPU 或分散式系統中,兩個事件可能恰好同時發生。瑕疵急於填補程式設計師在程式執行模型與實際情況之間的差距。這些瑕疵與執行緒、處理序、時間和資訊之間的意外互動有關。這些互動透過共用狀態發生:信號、變數、檔案系統,以及基本上任何可以儲存資訊的項目。

Code Correctness: Erroneous Synchronization

Abstract
如果執行緒沒能在向其他執行緒發訊號後解除 mutex 鎖定,其他執行緒仍會維持鎖定,並在 mutex 繼續等待。
Explanation
在執行緒對其他在 mutex 等待的執行緒發出訊號後,它必須在另一個 pthread_mutex_unlock() 函數能開始執行之前,先呼叫此函數來解除 mutex 鎖定。如果發出訊號的執行緒沒能解除 mutex 鎖定,就不會回傳在第二個執行緒呼叫的 pthread_cond_wait(),而且也不會執行該執行緒。

範例 1:以下程式碼藉由呼叫 pthread_cond_signal(),對一個在 mutex 上等待的執行緒發出訊號,但卻無法解除另一個執行緒在等待的 mutex 鎖定。


...
pthread_mutex_lock(&count_mutex);

// Signal waiting thread
pthread_cond_signal(&count_threshold_cv);
...
