    16:35 The difference between pthread_cond_signal() and pthread_cond_broadcast() lies in
    what happens if multiple threads are blocked in pthread_cond_wait(). With
    pthread_cond_signal(), we are simply guaranteed that at least one of the blocked
    threads is woken up; with pthread_cond_broadcast(), all blocked threads are woken up.

    this is so so so good. usually, guys are speaking way fast because they don't understand that it's hard to follow the concepts for someone brand new being exposed to the subject. you really have a gift for teaching. People think just because they know a subject matter that they can become teachers but that's is not true. It takes special skills to be able to relate a material to someone else that is brand new to the matter at hand. Just a million thanks

    Sergiu, I can't thank you enough for this video. My OS professor really struggled to explain this topic, so I left the class without any intuition as to why condition variables were needed. Your example at 8:16 made my jaw drop, furthermore, your description of signalling being an indication that a condition's result *may* have changed really cleared things up for me.
    This is the second video of yours that I've watched (the first being pthread Barriers). It's safe to say that I'll be subscribing to your channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of these complex topics, you make them much easier to understand, and for that I'm grateful.

    Great video, thank you for sharing! I think it's better to unlock the mutex after signaling the condition variable. Again many thanks!

    • @CodeVault
      @CodeVault  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I was actually curious on that topic and researched a bit. As it turns out, it doesn't really matter. You'd think that, because of the multithreaded nature of the program, there's a chance another thread would lock the mutex right after the unlock and right before the lock inside pthread_cond_wait. While it can happen, that's why we do a check every time we get past the pthread_cond_wait.
      Additionally, even if we have the order reversed (first signal then unlock), there's a chance another thread locks the mutex right after we call pthread_cond_signal. So either way, you can run in the same issue.
      Maybe you have another reason for it that I overlooked

    Is it possible to pass an array of function pointers, kinda like this thread is doing this series of jobs or before joining pass it another function?
    EDIT: I tried passing a struct thread_jobs with the job count and a pointer to a function pointer and initialized the struct with an array of function pointers made on the stack of main, passed the struct as an argument and it successfully serialized a series of jobs for each thread.
    ofc, the function pointer's return type and args are static but as a POC it works.

    Great Instructional Videos. Very helpful. Question: Could you have also solved the problem by putting the Mutex lock AFTER you check that fuel is above 40? Then the car would not lock the mutex unless there was enough fuel. With one car this would work.

    • @CodeVault
      @CodeVault  ปีที่แล้ว

      No. That would cause a race condition on the fuel variable. You have to lock the mutex before checking simply because some threads might try to write to that fuel variable in the meantime. So, you must make sure, no other threads are currently trying to write to it.

  • @homailot2378
    @homailot2378 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you for the video! One question, however, isn't it better for the call to pthread_cond_signal to be on a thread that owns the mutex, meaning calling pthread_cond_signal before unlocking? The man page recommends this for a more predictable scheduling. Thank you again.

    • @CodeVault
      @CodeVault  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I actually researched this a bit and, from what I can tell, it really doesn't matter in this case because the the only thread that could unlock this mutex is the one we are signaling. In cases where you have some external thread that uses that mutex without the condition variable then, yes, it would be recommended to do so since the signaled thread would have a bigger chance of locking the mutex than the external ones. But all in all, it wouldn't impact the correctness of the code.

Once you have worked a bit with these you can come back to these videos and possibly improve your project

    @petrusili1185 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for the video! Clarified a few things for me, although i still have one thing that remains unclear: shouldn't the pthread_cond_signal() be called by the thread when it STILL HAS the lock on the MUTEX?....in your example you do it after UNLOCKING.

    • @CodeVault
      @CodeVault  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The order doesn't really matter since pthread_cond_wait does call internally pthread_mutex_lock so it will wait for the mutex to be unlocked. AND if there are any external threads waiting on the lock then that order gives a better chance for that external thread to lock the mutex first (before the thread that called pthread_cond_wait). But this shouldn't change the correctness of your program.
