pthread 互斥量中的意外行为

Question

伙计们，我已经定义了 2 个互斥锁：bar_mutex（在 N 个线程之间使用）和 writer_mutex（在线程线程和观察线程中使用）。 writer mutex 被用来 避免变量 k_total 的奇怪值，我正在修改一个全局变量但在某些特定时刻该变量变为 0.0 并且另一个线程使用它具有该值。 为了避免我添加了 writer_mutex 但问题仍然存在。我究竟做错了什么？我会把代码的重要部分贴出来。

if (k_total < 1 && b->cm <=20) {
    b->cm = b->cm + 10; //Usando este valor calculamos el deltak
    /* printf("\nThread yendo hacia abajo\n"); */
    if (b->direction == UP) {
        b->direction = DOWN;
        changed_direction = true;
    } else {
        changed_direction = false;
    }
} else if(k_total > 1 && b->cm >=-20) {
    b->cm = b->cm - 10; //Usando este valor calculamos el deltak
    /* printf("\nThread yendo hacia arriba\n"); */
    if (b->direction == DOWN) {
        b->direction = UP;
        changed_direction = true;
    } else {
        changed_direction = false;
    }
}

In this part of the function move_bar k_total is taken as 0 instead of the correct value... In order to avoid this I added the writer_mutex but it is still not working

Here you can see the global variable ktotal is being sent as 0 in some point... I am trying to avoid this.

我将附加代码的主要部分。

void
start_threads(struct bar* bars) {
    int i;
    pthread_t threads[NUM_THREADS + 1];
    bars = (struct bar*)malloc(sizeof(struct bar) * NUM_THREADS);
    init_variables();
    pthread_mutex_init(&bar_mutex, NULL);
    pthread_mutex_init(&write_mutex, NULL);
    pthread_cond_init(&unstable_state, NULL);

    for (i = 1; i < NUM_THREADS + 1; i++) {
        fill_bar(&bars[i - 1], i);
    }

    pthread_attr_init(&attr);
    pthread_attr_setdetachstate(&attr, PTHREAD_CREATE_JOINABLE);
    // creating the 4 threads that handle each bar
    for (i = 0; i < NUM_THREADS; i++) {
        pthread_create(&threads[i], &attr, move_bar, (void *)&bars[i]);
    }
    //thread used to check if system is stable and change its k_total
    pthread_create(&threads[NUM_THREADS], &attr, check_stable, (void*)bars);

    /* Wait for all threads to complete */
    for (i=0; i<NUM_THREADS + 1; i++) {
        pthread_join(threads[i], NULL);
    }
}

        for (int i = 0; i < NUM_THREADS; ++i) {
            k_total += getDeltaKValue(wires[i].cm);

            } else {

            }
        }

        k_total = 0.0;
        for (int i = 0; i < NUM_THREADS; ++i) {

Answer 1

好的伙计们，问题不在这里。该代码确实有效。使用 gdb 我看到有 2 个全局变量 bars 具有相同的名称但具有不同的引用，因为我正在为同一个变量执行 2 个 malloc，并且我一直在 2 个不同的环境中使用该变量功能更新机器人结构，而不仅仅是 1...我刚刚删除了意外的 malloc，一切正常。
