Multithreading in theory vs reality 🧵⚙️ In theory: Every thread executes independently, efficiently, and peacefully. In reality: Race conditions, deadlocks, and thread competition, context switching, synchronization issues etc. 👉 Writing multithreaded code is easy. 👉 Writing correct multithreaded code is the real challenge. #Multithreading #Programming #SoftwareEngineering #BackendDevelopment #CPP #CppProgramming #ModernCPP #Multithreading #Concurrency #ParallelProgramming #SystemProgramming #SoftwareEngineering #CodingLife
Good one, But threads aren’t really independent, even in theory that’s why all this stuff happens.
"Every thread executes independently, efficiently, and peacefully." - the statement is wrong. Thread is not for that.
you reminded me of a project i worked on called Philosopher. the idea is that each philo is a thread or process , and they follow a cycle: sleep, eat, and think.the challenge is to give each philo a fork before he die , should manage them carefully, and prevent any of them dying , it was wonderful for understanding Mutexex , and Semaphores and how they protect against data races.
