Motivation: Topics covered by this project; Mutexes, Threads
Chapter 5 in Stallings
Overview
std::cout is not threadsafe, if you try to send output to it from many different threads the output can get garbled. Especially if you do something like this; std::cout<<data1<<data2<<data3<<data4<<std::endl;
Your task, gentle reader, is to remedy this situation and produce a tool that will ease the considerable burden of developing and debugging your upcoming project 4.
Requirements:
Please provide me with
tester.cpp - file that launches many threads, each of which output strings to the console using above syntax.
output.cpp and .h – Contain a series of functions that are threadsafe and easy to use from anywhere in a project, here are their declarations:
void PRINT1(std::string &txt);
void PRINT2(std::string &txt, std::string &txt1);
void PRINT3(std::string &txt, std::string &txt1, std::string &txt2);
void PRINT4(std::string &txt, std::string &txt1,std:: string &txt2, std::string &txt3);
void PRINT5(std::string &txt, std::string &txt1, std::string &txt2, std::string &txt3, std::string &txt4);
Sample use
std::string s1=”some”;
std::string s2=”data”;
PRINT2(s1,s2);
Teams
Please work 2 to a team. Please include a description of what each team member did as part of your submission. Percentage responsibility for the final product is fine.
Grading
I will drop your tester.cpp and into the appropriate places in my project. Therefore these are the only files that I need from you.
40% tester.cpp works correctly
60% output.cpp and .h work correctly
This assignment is relatively easy so it is weighted 1.0 times the weight of project 1
