Helgrind在valgrind抱怨简单的互斥

helgrind in valgrind complains with simple mutex

本文关键字:简单 valgrind Helgrind      更新时间:2023-10-16

我正在调试一些线程代码,并且正在使用valgrind——tool=helgrind,由于某些原因helgrind不喜欢下面的简单示例。

在启动一个线程之前,我锁定了互斥锁。在线程结束时,我正在解锁,从而确保一次只有一个线程可以运行,假设互斥锁将被锁定,直到线程完成。

为什么根据valgrind这是无效的?

这是一个更大的程序的一部分,其中我的主程序正在读取/解析数据,它将启动一个分析线程,但我只希望一次运行一个分析线程。

#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdio.h>
pthread_mutex_t mutex;
void *inner(void *ptr){
  size_t threadid=(size_t)ptr;
  int sleepval = lrand48() % 5 +1;
  fprintf(stderr,"thread: %lu will wait:%dn",threadid,sleepval);fflush(stderr);  
  sleep(sleepval);
  pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);
}


int outer(size_t ntimes){
  pthread_t thread1;
  size_t i;
  for(i=0;i<ntimes;i++){
    pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex);
    if(pthread_create( &thread1, NULL, inner, (void*) i))
      fprintf(stderr,"Problems creating threadn");
  }
    pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex);
    pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);
}

int main(){
  pthread_mutex_init(&mutex, NULL);
  outer(3);
  return 0;
}

直接的问题是您在一个线程中锁定了一个互斥锁,而在另一个线程中解锁了它。您还可以尝试在同一个线程中两次锁定同一个非递归互斥锁。因为只有获得锁的线程才能释放它,这将是一个死锁。

要实现你可能想要的语义,你可以直接连接新创建的线程:连接将阻塞,直到相应的线程退出。

或者,您可以保护一个活动线程数,该线程数在创建线程时递增,在线程结束时递减。结束线程也会发出一个条件变量的信号。创建线程将检查计数,如果计数过高,则等待条件变量。

让一个处理器线程使用并可能阻塞一个作业队列,这可能是限制工作线程数量的最简单和最有效的方法。

pthread_mutex_lock的手册页:

如果一个线程试图解锁一个它还没有锁定的互斥锁如果互斥锁被解锁,将导致未定义的行为。

所以你必须在同一个线程中锁定和解锁互斥锁。

你的函数也应该返回一个与原型匹配的值。

#include <pthread.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
pthread_mutex_t mutex;
void *inner(void *ptr){
  size_t threadid = *(size_t *)ptr;
  int sleepval = rand() % 5 +1;
  pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex);
  fprintf(stderr,"thread: %lu will wait:%dn",threadid,sleepval);
  fflush(stderr);
  sleep(sleepval);
  pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);
  return NULL;
}
int outer(size_t ntimes){
  pthread_t thread[ntimes];
  size_t i, id[ntimes];
  for(i=0;i<ntimes;i++){
    id[i] = i;
    if(pthread_create(thread + i, NULL, inner, &id[i]))
      fprintf(stderr,"Problems creating threadn");
  }
  for(i=0;i<ntimes;i++)
    pthread_join(thread[i], NULL);
  return 0;
}
int main(void){
  pthread_mutex_init(&mutex, NULL);
  outer(3);
  return 0;
}

这对我有用。我还添加了缺失的头,并更改了函数参数以匹配新的要求。

旁注:outer函数现在使用可变长度数组,因此它只在C99中工作,而不是在c++中(该问题标记为两者)。
