Producer/Consumer : 1 producer, multiple consumers - 1 semaphore, 1 mutex, 1 conditional variable












-1















I'm implementing the Producer/Consumer problem in C with some specific criteria:




  1. 1 producer, multiple consumers

  2. using only one mutex, one semaphore, one conditional variable

  3. All consumers have to consume (like a broadcast), and then, when all that producer have produced is already consumed by consumers, producer will produce more.


I don't know how to implement it using only what I should according to criteria above.



Here is the pseudo code I've wrote using 3 mutexes only and I can't do it according to criteria.



Any help will be appreciated, I have no idea how to use here just one mutex, where to put semaphore and conditional variable.




Pseudo code:



WRITER:



glock();  //lock from reader

write_lock(); //wait till there is no readers

//write the data

write_unlock();

g_unlock();


READER:



g_lock();  //so reader can't read when writer locked g and writting
g_unlock();

read_lock();
reader++;
if (reader == 1)
write_lock(); ///all consumers have consume

//read the data

read_lock();
reader--;
if (reader == 0)
write_unlock();
read_lock();
